Players and Cameras in Disk Panel.

Post by *TemaZosin »

Hello.
I think you should update Disk panel for new life updates. As you know many players like sony, apple, etc now uses MTP protocol and shows in "computer" like "other device". Shows like player, photo or videocamera. After last updates of android my cellphone also shows like media device.

screen is.gd/5iEGjj


People who use explorer in windows doesn't get any problems, coz they can see their device and knows where ipod, where camera and where mobile phone. It's very simple shows in "computer" folder.

But TC doesn't shows these devices in Disk panel. Yes, i know, it's Disk panel (n.b. icon of network is there! is.gd/6XzyJn ), but these devices is flashdrives too, but in new representation - without letters!
Disk panel has many free spaces and i think it's very good idea to add media devices there!
before it were flash-drives, tomorrow it will media-devices.

Unfortunately theese 'devices' are virtual, not physical, so it is impossible to use full TC features in such folders.

And, many people have many drives so there are no free space in drive bar at all. :)

1. But TC has space for NETWORK.
2. These devices = drives. It's stupid remove their from panel. How to open their?
3. People who don't have space coz have many drive - don't have space for flashdrives letter too - simple logic.

Stop trying to avoid something new, just make it. This a very useful option.

Stop trying to find excuses, just make good option!

MVV is right: Those drives are virtual and are seen by windows explorer only (blame drive manufacturer, not TC for that).
The only way to access them via TC is to "look through explorer eyes":
- Just use command "cm_OpenDrives"
- TC will do the same if you look under the top-level breadcrumb arrowhead, to the left of the drive letter, and under Computer.

Thanks Wiz....
This was just what I was looking for...cm_OpenDrives

What was lost is now found.

I can now 'transfer' copy/move files from my Samsung phone
to hard drives/thumb drives...et al within Total Commander

Thanks for the tip :)
