Hi,
In Quick Access in Windows Explorer I have a link to a folder on my Android smartphone. When I click on this link I go directly to that folder. I tried to achieve the same in Directory Hotlist in Total Commander with cd "This PC\JHO_GalS8\Card\Android\data\net.osmand.plus\files\tracks", however, this does not work. How can I make a direct link to a folder on my smartphone?
Kind regards,
Jan Hoogendoorn.

When in the folder on your phone in Total Commander (the Windows version) press Ctrl+D and choose "Add current dir"
The command will look something like this:
cd ::{20D04FE0-3BEA-1069-A2D8-08002B31309D}\\\?\usb#vid_04e8&pid_6861#rfcna042kje#{6ac27778-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f490d4f33}\SID-{10001,,116251506336}\{E6556943-FFFF-FFFF-0000-000000000000}
IIRC the folder address is dynamically allocated - so it might change over time and has to be renewed once in a while.

I don't hink he found the folder in Total Commander. I think that is the problem. He should look in the Network folder in Total Commander?

I assumed HoogendoornJH accessed his phone via TC's drive combobox or drive button.white wrote: 2022-10-30, 17:46 UTC I don't hink he found the folder in Total Commander. I think that is the problem. He should look in the Network folder in Total Commander?
BTW - i tried the same when accesseing the phone via the Media Audio 2 plugin, it works until I disconnect the phone. When I reconnect again it no longer works.
EDIT It seems to also do work with Media Audio 2 but it is crucial that the path ends with a \ (which TC does not set by itself when using Ctrl+D -> "Add current dir")
EDIT 2: with Media Audio 2 it works fine with dirs like DCIM, Music and Documents, but NOT with the Android folder!
When accessing the phone via the drive combobox/drive button, I can store directories in the Android folder though.
