Location is not available, The directory name is invalid.


unpack (below) *.7z into a directory named, c:/out/youkidme/
copy Everything.exe into c:/out/youkidme/
copy 2 video files into c:/out/youkidme/

name the 2 video files; file1.mpg & file2.mpg
(doesn't matter what they are or even if they are mpg's)


run go-KIDDING.BAT


{skip
History | Restore Previous Session
theoretically the last window to open will contain some files/dirs
including; file1.mpg file2.mpg
theoretically if you TAB, those two files should then be highlighted
skip}


hit <TAB> & (arrow key down &) highlight file1.mpg & file2.mpg
hit <CR> on those two highlighted files


result (if all goes well): Location is not available


dismiss the error dialogs


highlight file1.mpg & hit <CR>
result: it plays

highlight file2.mpg & hit <CR>
result: it plays


---


i highlight 2 files (.mp4)
hit return to open them
& instead of them opening...
i get an opaque, empty Window Explorer dialog
& 2 error messages:

Location is not available
V:\EEE\file 1.mp4 is not accessible.
The directory name is invalid.

Location is not available
V:\EEE\file 2.mp4 is not accessible.
The directory name is invalid.

after i OK those to message dialogs,
the Windows Explorer window automatically goes away

{skip
tis the 2nd time this has happened...
1st was the other day...
oh, power had gone out, computer was asleep,
but was not able to restore its' session
(where usually it loads from disk, as the [ordinarily] RAM restore got zap'd)
ran CHKDSK at the time, & all OK, SMART is OK, ran CHKDSK again, still OK - Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.
skip}

i can open said files, individually,
but highlight the 2 & hit return, & BAM

(search is, V:\EEEE, nothing special with file names, SFN, nothing special with that directory,
i use it all the time, copy in, copy out, open files..., i can do other operations on the pair;
mediainfo (mi_compare), hex'em (hxd), hash'em (chk), (queue) & play them in mpv.net [single instance])

but hit CR on the pair & BAM ?

sort: name, filter: everything - error
sort: path - error
sort: size - works ???
sort: ext - error
sort: dm, len, dc - all works ???
sort: name, filter: everything - error

sort: name, filter: video - works ???
sort: path, size, ext, dm, len, dc - all works (with filter: video) ???

(above sort: & filter: are not givens, depending on ?, things may or may not work)

yougottabekiddingme

2 files, same path, same extension
sort: name, filter: everything - error
- change extension of 1 of the files - OK
- change filter: video - OK

so... WHAT DO I HAVE SET that is causing this ???

Thank you for the issue report and test files therube,

There is a bug with Everything using the wrong PIDL information when enabling context_menu_simple_pidl.
(The incorrect result index is used for some PIDL information, in this case, Everything is incorrectly flagging the mpg files as folders)
I will have this fixed in the next alpha update.

For now, please disable context_menu_simple_pidl:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    simple
  • Select: context_menu_simple_pidl
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.
