Windows Explorer (Shell) integration - great feature!

But it seems not to work with paths including spaces...

This doesn't seem to a problem in our testing or for other users. What OS are you using?

I have analysed a a bit more - it's not the problem with spaces in the path, but with root paths.

I'm trying to compare L:\ with S:\Bau financials\..., and get the error message

file or directory L:" S:\Bau does not exist

I don't know whether this is " or '', though...

W2KSP4, btw.

P.S.: L: is a substed drive, S: ia a network mapped drive, if that matters.

This works fine here. At some point there was a fix in the Shell extension to make it work for root folders. Perhaps you downloaded EDPro before the fix. You may want to try the latest release on the web site. If you still have problems, I'll need additional information. BTW, does it work for your local roots (I assume L:\ is a mapping of a network drive)?

I have just downloaded and installed, the about dialog tells version 3.2c build 09.06.04 03:28:45.

L: is a local SUBST. It does not work with local root folders as well. I right clicked C:\ in the tree pane of the explorer and chose 'Select First Item to Compare'. Then I right clicked on D:\ in the tree pane and chose 'Compare to "C:\"'.

Exam Diff opens with the compare dialog set to 'Files' and the first file name reads 'C:" D:"', the second one is the last one used as second, I suppose.

OK, the good news is that we were able to reproduce the problem on Win2000 (XP works fine). The bad news is that it'll take some to time to fix the problem. Once it's fixed, an update will appear on the web site.

This is now fixed in the latest update of 3.2c (July 24, 2004).
