This was working fine for me in mapped folders.
Now in version 12.0.259 seems to have disappeared  :'(

still works fine for me.
Are you sure another application has not nabbed the "CTRL+SHIFT+T" combo prior to MC starting?

I have a textsnap app here that was using that combo to initiate text captures, so I changed it and now the two live happily together on my PC.

It is gone with the latest build.  It was an experiment.  It mostly worked.

We're trying to figure out how to make it a permanent feature.

It's tricky because it seems like something Windows should be doing automatically and we don't want to introduce something that could cause performance issues.

I noticed that it's gone too... Can we have it back "temporarily"? It was really helpful for me.

It's a rather annoying Windows feature..

Would an advanced option "Connect to mapped network drives on startup" work?

It would then connect on startup.  If you needed to reconnect, you'd restart the application.

Thanks.

Sure those things will work.

- close/restart MC or
- go to windows explorer and browse to the server network share
- or both

(if I wake up the server before trying to play a title then usually everything works OK).

Not a big deal but (Ctrl+Shift+T) just made my life a bit easier


P.S. I solved this problem on my HTPC which is also normally asleep when not in use, in this way -
I use a script which runs when HTPC goes out of standby:
-- close MC12
-- wake up the server
-- copy the latest library from the server to HTPC
-- open MC12
This ensures that my HTPC library is always in sync and that the server is awake.
