Mapped drive shows up as disconnected (red cross)

[flipper999]

Hi,

I had to reinstall my PC. I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

The mapped network drives are showing up as disconnected in TC.
And when I open explorer, I don't see the them as disconnected.
Also when I open a mapped drive in TC, the red cross goes away,
but opening the mapped drive in explorer does not fix this, it will stil show
up as disconnected in TC.

When I reboot, everything shows up as disconnected again in TC.

I have a Synology NAS to which I have mapped network drives.
On my previous install I did not have this problem.
I started noticing this problem, because locked tab's of a mapped drive
kept reverting to C drive after reboot.

I'm using TC 7.57a.

The same thing happens to me on TC 7.57 under Windows 7 Ultimate x64, remote mapped drives are on a Windows XP based machine.

Maybe TC would feature a way to refresh the status of mapped drives (obviously in background and not showing any error or message) just updating the status of drives frequently

Maybe you run TC elevated? I see such problem on virtual machines with mapped host shared folder when I start TC elevated. Also, until I enter drive in elevated TC, I can't access it via TCMADMIN in non-elevated one.

Drives appearing with a red "x" are configured with "delayed reconnect". TC has to call a Windows function to be able to access these drives. TC doesn't check that connection status when it is changed outside of the program.
