System files ignored when attempting to burn from folders on Network drive

[TWEIR]

When selecting a folder on a network drive which contains files to burn, ImgBurn will not attempt to burn all files in that folder (like .exe), regardless of any options.

 

Ex:

 

V:\test (folder on network)

contains:

readme.txt

file.exe

 

when starting a new burn, ImgBurn only sees the "readme.txt" (See screen shot)

 

However when attempting to burn the same folder from a local drive, ImgBurn will see both files. (See screen shot)

 

v2.5.5.0

Can you please show me the log from you doing that?

 

It tells you in there if files are being skipped for one reason or another.

 

Also, which 'Input' method are you using? Standard or Advanced?

When burning from Network folder, the log shows an entry of:

"W 07:37:18 Skipped Reparse Point File: V:\test\fciv.exe"

(This is just the MS file checksum integrity verifier executable)

 

When burning from local folder, the file is not skipped

BurnFromNetworkFolder.log

BurnFromLocalFolder.log

Using standard input method

Ok well this is no longer a 'bug'. The program is doing exactly what it should be doing - based on current settings.

 

The file in the network location has the 'FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT' attribute flag set and that's why it's being skipped.

 

As for *why* it has that flag set, I've no idea.
