I have gone into Preferences and linked network drive with aliases.
When I open the Folder Tree, the network drive is shown with the pathname. Is there a way to only show the Alias for the Folder Tree instead of the entire pathname? eg. //networkdrive/Storage is what is shown but would like to just show Storage or F: Storage.
I'm sorry but I clearly didn't provide enough details and so I wasn't very clear. In my left Folder Tree Pane, I have set my Folder Tree so it starts with Drives (rather than Desktop, This PC, and Current Drive). . So, it looks like this:
It's almost perfect except for one annoying detail. I know this sounds really anal but I want to get rid of the ugly pathnames for the network drives. Is there a way to change the pathnames after the network drive letters? For example, can I change E: (\\NetworkDrive\Our Movie Collection) to just E: (Our Movie Collection)?
In an attempt to do this, I created an alias for the network drive folder, E: (\\NetworkDrive\Our Movie Collection). The alias is Our Movie Collection. I did this for all the other network drives. However, the folder tree didn't change at all after I created the aliases. Nothing happened.
What did change is when I go into Menu Settings => Preferences => Folder Tree => Contents, there is a list of folders that I can make appear in the Folder Tree Pane. If I checkmark Folder Aliases, it will display this folder in this fashion:
This is not exactly what I'm looking for. Look below for the entire resulting mess. The first is the Aliases Folder that doesn't have the C: and D: drives and doesn't expand. And, I also have a Folder Tree that has drives that do expand but most of them have these ugly long pathnames.
