Dopus 10 crashes when trying to expand a drive in the folder tree with Junction folders in it.
This also happens with the latest version, 10.0.4.
I found no workarounds so far -- unfortunately.

Are you sure it is the junctions?
Lots of folders have junctions in them these days, since they are created in standard folders by the default Windows 7 install. If junctions caused the folder tree to crash, we'd know about it by now and have lots of complaints.
You're right -- it can't be the junctions per se. Although notice that windows does not put junctions in the root of a drive -- which is the situation I am talking about.
But it can also be a question of number: the crashes started after I created a few junctions in the root of one of my HD D:. There are 5 junctions in it now, that point to different folders on external hard drives.
Whenever I try to expand D:, either by clicking on the '+' in the tree, or double clicking in the lister to the right, dopus crashes.
This doesn't happen with the other HDs, for instance C: where I also created a junction -- but just one.
p.s. I use "Junction link magic" to create junctions -- it always worked perfectly for me.
What happens when you do the same thing in Explorer?
Explorer expands the tree without a problem...
This is the error message I get...
I'll now remove all the junctions and see if I get the error again. Will report back soon.
If you turn off the tree in Opus and then double-click on the folders in question, does it work?
Forget about it! I solved the problem!
There was a junction, created by me, mistakenly pointing to itself.
As soon as I removed the bad junction, Dopus started working normally.
So it wasn't dopus fault!
Although, maybe, I could suggest the developers to prevent this crash from happening and instead work around it.
Agreed, we'll put a check into the code for junctions that point to themselves.
