Directory tree in Windows 7

[TGB72]

Just installed 1by1 in Seven and get some strange white icons in the folder tree that never had seen before while I was using it under XP, what exactly are? are making reference to some directories or devices? if not, can I remove them?



Thanks in advance for any help.

They are making references to folders like My Documents.
Yes, it's a flaw. Maybe it's possible to title or remove them in the tree-view.

Thanks for reply gaga, I couldn't find how to rename or remove them, there is no such option in the context menu and no reference to these folders in 1by1.ini.
I hope that can be fixed in near future, it's not a big issue but a little annoying and anti-aesthetic to the sight.

Yes, that's really ugly. How is that possible? I can't imagine that MS removed the virtual folders My documents, My audios and Favorites.

Does that happen on every Seven?

In the next version I can add checkboxes for hiding these Items. But this wouldn't be the real solution of the problem.

I am pretty sure that this is not an issue caused by 1by1 but by Windows 7 and the way it treats folders, the translation of folders' names to other languages and so called "junctions". There are "real folders" and virtual folders in Windows 7.

I read about this in the German computer magazine "COM!" 9/2010.

I am sorry I cannot explain the complete background in English.

But maybe I gave you enough hints to get deeper into that problem.

Confirmend for Win7 HP 64 bit and Win 7 Pro 32 bit, german.
I guess it's something with the "junctions", too.

I always thought it was my multicard-reader, so I didn't pay attention to this until now.

I have the same issue in Win 7 x64 english and x32 german.

System folders can be switched off now:

Now looks better





Thanks Martin!

Just to let you know: I had this problem in Win 7/64 as well. However, after a bit of random adding folders to favourites and setting 1by1 to start in base folder, then restarting, the folder icons now all look pretty again.

I can't tell you which of those two things did the trick, or even whether they were actually involved in solving it, but thought you might like to know. I no longer start in base folder, but the icons have stayed looking nice.

Well, I've set 1by1 1.70 to start in base folder and also add 4 folders to favorites and I still get those awful icons I'll return to 1.71 alpha, the options to hide those icons seems to be the only solution for the moment.
