Toolbar button for MTP device not showing device when plugged in

Hello friends, back for more.

This has been going on for a while now, and I just now have taken notice to the issue. I have all of my drives present on a toolbar using Go Drivebutton= fixed or whatever argument. All of them work, minus the MTP drive button that I have, which until about … last month or so (total guess) used to work flawlessly. My device hasn't changed. The way I connect to the device hasn't changed either. The device DOES show up within the Folder Tree, but when there is a "Select folder" window pop us that you can use to select a folder or drive for a shortcut or whatever, the MTP device doesn't show up in there either. I have a Galaxy s20. All drivers are installed and nothing new or different there. Also, now this is the weird part - on my context menu, I have a large menu that I use to send files/folders to various drives and folders - I created an option for my phone within that menu a while back and it works as expected as well. So I guess the issue is that the Toolbar button command/argument for MTP device isn't displaying the device for some reason, but the PC knows that it is there. Any help with this?

Oh and random side question but same topic - with the drivebuttton command there is a "ramdisk" option that I tried out just now and DOpus does not recognize my actual Ramdisk either. I don't really care all that much about this one, because I just made its own button and used the "fixed" command and forced it to display the A drive (my ramdisk..) How do you designate a drive a ramdisk for DOpus to recognize it as such? I tried to force it to recognize the A drive like I did above, and that didn't seem to work.

Thanks for any clarity!

Does it show up under This PC, or if you go to mtp:// in the location bar?

Yes to both!

All I can think is maybe your phone is in a different mode (i.e. not MTP but plain file transfer or photo transfer or something).

When you recommended that it may be the settings, I just went on the phone itself and was playing around with some settings within the phone. I turned off and then back on "ADB Debugging" that is necessary for most apps to be able to communicate with an android phone. I did that (which essentially reset's the connections saved in the phone) closed and then reopened Opus, and it was back showing up in the toolbar! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction :+1::+1::+1::+1::+1::+1:

What is odd is that Opus was still able to transfer things to my phone before resetting it, it just wasn't able to appear on the toolbar. Odd
