Am I correct in thinking that what you actually want is for MC to not show the data if the drive is not available?
YESSSS !
If that is what you want, it's not possible
Its a pity !
My English school days are very far away, but I believe it was possible, when reading what you wrote before :
Check under "Options > Tree and view > Advanced > Display missing file image in lists (slow on network drives)"
Remove the checkmark beside it to remove the warning As I understood , the sentence "Unchecking [display missing file]" was, for me, the same as "Not show the file if it's missing (= not on line)"
Now, I don't understand what is the exact use of "check/uncheck [display missing file]"
What you would need to do is create a view scheme that excludes files whose filenames start with \\WHS and use that when you know that \\WHS is unavailable.
Yes , but why making this, when it would be so easy, for J River boys, to introduce the following constant filter in MC13 and Jukebox, for all the datas Videos, Photos, Music etc :
-> We don't show on screen a file when it's missing, in any mode (listing, icon etc)
Logical, isn't it ?
Is-it only my French Frog's logic ?
Thanks for all and all the best for 2009 !
