[9.0 x64 RC2 - W10 x64] DirSync - "Show" buttons

[mperny]

All "Show" buttons are inaccessible if DirSync window is opened where one directory is referred as UNC path.

x86 version is OK

[petermad]

I tried, but cannot reproduce that - can you give step by step instructions on how to reproduce the bug?

[mperny]

I found after a deeper analysis, that the problem appears only when:

1. I select next two directories by the "Directory hotlist" where they are defined both directories
\\nas\_DISK_1\_SOFTWARE\_Program Files\
d:\_Data\Program Files\
2. Immediatly run the SyncDir
3. Change/switch any from "Show" buton is impossible

When I close the SyncDir window and then manualy change any from selected directories and then reopen the SyncDir window again, everything is OK

[petermad]

Hmm, I don't have a NAS drive but when I try it with a UNC-path from my Microsoft Workgroup I have no such problems.

Have you tried it with a clean wincmd.ini file?

BTW - don't you click the "Compare" before you do step 2 described above? And is it after the "Compare" or after the "Synchronize" that you have the problem?

[mperny]

It's strange - I have tried to test many combinations (clear ini file, UNC to windows server and etc.) but behavior is still the same (When I run DirSync function immediately after both directories have been set by CTRL-D, the "show buttons" are unavailable.)

This is independent of whether compare has been started or not.

BTW: It is no a big problem and workaround exist ...

[petermad]

Hmm, I even tried with folder names the same as your example (except for the "nas" part). I tried with Windows 10 too and I also tried when using Ctrl+D to set both source and target path at the same time - but I still cannot reproduce it.

Is TC9rc2 the first version that you have experienced this in?

[mperny]

I wanted to answer you, that the problem has appeared with first 9 beta version, but I tested the TC8.52a x64 for sure now and I have the problem in this version as well. (Previously I have used only x86 version which is/was OK for me).

I think, that the problem can be joined with some OS settings, or with something else similar...

[mperny]

I found now, that the problem occurs only if "Directory hotlist" menu is opened by double click on "path" row.

When the menu is opened by "asterix" button, or by Ctrl-D, everything is OK.

[petermad]

I can now confirm this - what a weird bug!

I can add that it is only the last chosen dir that has to be opened that way - not both dirs. And it doesn't matter what kind of dir it is (not just UNC paths). And as you wrote earlier only in the 64bit version, and it also applies to TC8.52a

26.10.16 Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Click on buttons <- -> etc. not working after double clicking on path in main window to open directory hotlist (64)

I cannot confirm this - This bug still persists in TC9rc3 x64

[mperny]

Yes - the bug stil persist in TC9rc3 x64

Strange, it works here most of the time - it seems to depend on how fast you double click. I "fixed" the problem by opening the menu with a delay of 100ms after double clicking, but this doesn't seem to be enough in some cases - sometimes a "mouse up" message must be lost. I will try to call it from the "mouse up" event instead...

[petermad]

Confirmed fixed in TC9rc4 x64
