Open director does not show links / Network PCs etc

[fnuernberger]

I am running Photo Mechanic version 5, build 13915 (a16ea69) on Windows 7x64.

The "open folder dialog" and the "select destination directory" show a weird behaviour.
First of all, it doesn't show my network paths anymore and I can only  select folders which are in my user directory.
If I do enter a network adress manually to the select folder's line, it does work and finds all the directories I need.



It also starts with a "double-desktop option" as shown in the screenshot above. So, in order to access a folder on my desktop, I need to click on my "user name on the computer", then click on desktop which seems to reside below my user name. However, from this structure, I can not access the c: folder or a network folder.

All that was not a problem with PM4.x. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Frank

I have no idea why that would happen to you.  That dialog is provided by the Windows OS.  We make a call to the OS to show that dialog and when it returns, it gives us the path to the folder you have chosen.

There are other ways of opening a folder in Photo Mechanic that may work better for you.  There is the Navigator and the Favorites panes and both of them can open folders as a contact sheet and have more options than the 'open folder' dialog that isn't working correctly for you.
