PW can't restore explorer windows
sovalyeler opened this issue · comments
Steps to repo:
- Open up an explorer window(Win+E), go to any directory.
- Capture windows to disk.
- Close the window.
- Restore windows from disk.
However, PW only opens "This PC" explorer window.
(Win10 22H2 19045.3803)
(-fix_zorder=1 -delay_auto_restore 2.5 -foreground_background_dual_position=0 -invoke_multi_window_process_only_once=0)
This is expected, PW does not know what directory the explorer window was at.
Then I think I remember incorrectly that PW used to be able restore directory windows. So would you consider adding this as a feature?
PW does not remember directory information within explorer window. The capability to pin to specific directory in restored explorer window must be a feature of Windows OS. It seems the feature is deprecated.
Can something like this be integrated into PW? How to restart explorer without losing open windows?
Will try
Wow. Thanks a lot. This new recover folder location feature is gonna be really useful. Especially when explorer is crashed.
Also hide a window to notification area is really nice bonus feature that I actually wanted to have bu couldn't fide a decent software for it.
Just updated 5.50 binary with a new fix to recover special folder name such as "3D Objects"

I just realized that PW also can't restore folders that have "&" in their names.

Also, it seems the names that have "ı" ( https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+0131 ) in it.
Update: Same case with "ğ" ( https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+011F ).
Maybe it needs Turkish character support? ( https://bidb.marmara.edu.tr/en/use-of-turkish-and-special-characters )
