Filepath display bug

This is really a minor issue but I guess you guys might want to fix that one too:

If a foldername contains a special character like '&' this is properly displayed in the bread crumb bar:


and in the edit mode of the bread crumb:


but not in the recent list of the bread crumb:


Do you mean this drop-down, or something else?


(Less cropping on the screenshots would be better.)

Exactly. Hmm, you're not seeing the issue I see?:slight_smile:

I see exactly what's in the screenshot (minus the stuff I blurred out).

That's odd. No idea why this happens on my machine but not on your computer. Maybe a language issue? (German version of windows)

Shouldn't be any differences there due to language.

Could we see a screenshot with more context? I am not sure we are definitely talking about the same control in the same mode.

There's really nothing special I did. When I create a 'Cat & Dog' folder, it's rendered as 'Cat && Dog' when I open the drop down list. (The recent list, that is visible in your screenshot)

It's rendered properly in the bread crumb bar and when I edit the string (left or right click in the bread crumb) it's also correct there. The '&&' is also rendered in the drop down menu. (recent list)

I can make a larger screen shot but it would be identical to your shot, except that 'Cat && Dog' will be rendered instead of 'Cat & Dog'.

Hope that helps.

Addition: Just tried the same thing on a different drive in a different folder and couldn't reproduce it.

But I still can reproduce it when I do this in the desktop tab. This is a locked tab (standard lock) that is loaded with Dopus on system start.

@Leo: Can you reproduce it on your desktop? If not, could you please try that with my setup I've uploaded?

The full screenshot could be useful and only takes a second. Please do that just in case it saves time.

My test was already done below the Desktop folder.

Please.


And the drop down recent list:


This only happens in the Desktop folder for whatever reason.

If you go into Customize mode and right-click the field, what is the Field Type set to?

And if you right-click and choose Edit, what is the Args field set to?

Examples of both shown below:


Hi Leo,

Attached you'll find the requested materials. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hope that helps.



Thanks. Looks like the defaults there.

If you go to Preferences / Favorites and Recent / Recent List, what settings do you have there?


And if you type /dopuslocaldata/State Data into the location field and look inside recent.osd, what do you see? Search for & to quickly find any relevant lines with a '&' in them:


If there is && inside the resent.osd then that would explain part of what's happening, and tells me where to look next.

This is my setup of the recent list:


Regarding the xml file, there is indeed an && in the path label!

The entire node looks like this:

	<path label="C:\Benutzer\Marcus\Desktop\Cat &amp;&amp; Dog">
		<dir>
			<pathstring>C:\Users\Marcus\Desktop\Cat &amp; Dog</pathstring>
			<tree>64</tree>
		</dir>
	</path>

Hope this helps.

Thank you! We've found the cause and should have a fix in the next beta.

Nice, thanks!

Short confirmation this works now in 12.06. Thanks again.
