Letters of empty drive units

Post by JuanRa »

Hello I would like to know if you can make in future releases to not appear the letters of units that are empty that come from units of card readers (ssd, sdhc ...).
In Windows Explorer you can make to appear or not appear these letters of the units.
Thanks and congratulations for your great software.

There is an option 'Select drives that should be visible' there - in 'Options' - 'Configuration' - 'Change Drive Menu...'

It would hide selected drives permanently. What is JuanRa asking is better handling of empty card readers drives.

Oh, then there are such programs as USB drive letter manager, or (the one I use) USB safely remove - they work much better than Windows Explorer.
