Issue resolved in built 1385. Works like a charm again. Nice!

@Ludec: Thank you very much, you are my hero. ;)
I almost gave up hope, someone would find the reason for this issue and fix it. I would never have expected the reason would be the "My Music" path.

The further testing shown that it fails whenever the 'My music' folder isn't child of 'My documents' folder

Finally I was able to reproduce, the steps are:

1. The track needs to be from 'My Music' folder ('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\My Music')
2. 'My Documents' folder ('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal') needs to be on the same drive as 'My Music'

It must be somehow related to the fact that you have non-default value of My Music folder: E:\Musik
Run regedit and go to 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\My Music'

I changed the value to be the same as you have, but I still haven't been able to reproduce.

The issue still exists for me.
Solving it by a fresh windows installation is no option for me! Btw. I don't think it would help me.

Could you please create more detailed log entries within one of the next builts to make it possible to find out, which navigation step fails, with the help of debugview?

Till now it only says the following, which is not very helpful.

Code: Select all

[3076]  NodePath: E:\Musik\06. CD Fertig\Rock\CD_003 - (Die Ärzte)\Ab 18\05 - Die ärzte - Claudia 2.mp3
[3076]  MyMusicPath: E:\Musik\

The problem was solved with a fresh System install for me. Finding all folders now, yeah!

Hmm, that's strange. Is anyone else having that Problem? Still the same on 1355. I usually use that function quite alot and couldn't find out why it doesn't work. Thought it could have to do with permissions, but I set them all the same on the different drives.

Here it works on finding the track on a different partition on the main drive.

I got EXACTLY the same problem. All "find more from" options except "Folder (library)" work fine for me. It does work on external HDD and System Partition, but not on my Data Partition "D:\" (which is on the same physical driva as System "C:\") It's a fresh 1351 install. Same problem with new MM4 database and my old converted MM3. The only action happening is that MM would expand the Media tree to the Location Node with my Data drive D:\ and UPnP Servers listed. Track list is not changing. Same behaviour in Entire Library as in Music Node. All tracks can be listened to, be found by search etc. but just not to be found that way.

The issue still exists in build #1350. I even checked the serial number of the partition. It is identical to the one in MediaMonkey's library. I can't find the reason for the malfunction.

Could you therefore log some more debug information of the navitation process itself, so I can trace it more detailed. Maybe we can find out then, why it does not work for me.

The only technical difference between the not working partition e: and the other ones is, the drive (e:) has a sector size of 1024 bytes instead of 512, but I don't think this can cause the issue.

Thanks.

I have no account in this forum, therefore I paste the debug log in here.

But in fact, I can't find anything helpful within it.

System:
CPU: Intel Q9440
OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
HDDs: see my previous post

What I did:
1. browse to "Entire Database\Artist & Album Artist\1-800-Def
2. select the song in the list
3. right click to open context menu
4. select "find more from same\folder (library)"

This is what dbgview.exe tells about it:

Maybe a debug log can show why this happens as it's obviously something very particular causing this: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... ?f=6&t=341

Strange.

No matter what I try, it does not work at least for my drive E: where all my music is located. I even installed clean MM4 - no scripts, no skins, nothing. "Find more from same folder (library)" does not work.

I copied some files over to my system partition and added them to the library. "Find more from same folder (library)" works fine. Trying the same with an external drive - works fine, too.

All drives are encrypted by TrueCrypt:
System partition / drive C: 64GB SSD - works
Data drive E: 2TB Western Digital EARS - does not work
External drive V: 300GB - works

As far as I found out, the drive is not identified by its mount point / drive letter, but by its serial number by MM? May simply my drive I not been identified correctly and therefore navigating aborts?
