Win7 x64: unable to show all files in folders

Post by abeneventi »

Hello, I use Salamander 2.52 on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise. I've installed TortoiseSVN (latest version).

Now I have this problem: if I go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers using Salamander I see only four folders (and no etc folder). If I use Windows Explorer I see a long list of folders with etc subfolders. I've posted an attachment to show the problem.

Moreover, I cannot see icon overlays from tortoisesvn inside Salamander.

I'm running Salamander as an Administrator.

Can anyone help me?

Best regards

Alessandro

Altap Salamander is 32-bit application (you can vote for x64 version) so you need to install 32-bit version of Tortoise SVN on your computer. It works well: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#nomenus

We will look at (quick hack) solution for accessing C:\Windows\System32 directory using C:\Windows\Sysnative alias. We hope it will help before native x64 version of Salamander will be released.

Some x64 directories are already accessible from 32-bit applications:
%windir%\system32\catroot
%windir%\system32\catroot2
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc
%windir%\system32\logfiles
%windir%\system32\spool

For browsing these directories with 32-bit Altap Salamander you need to ensure that same directories names exist in %windir%\SysWOW64\ directory.
