SUMMARY When trying to open the folder containing an image in an album, it just opens Windows Explorer. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right-click on a thumbnail in digikams Album View 2. Select "Open in File Manager" OBSERVED RESULT Windows Explorer opens, but just in the "normal/base" view in "This PC". EXPECTED RESULT It should open the folder containing the image, not just Windows Explorer ADDITIONAL INFORMATION How can I find out where the problem lies - on digikams side or in Windows? Tested on digikam 8.2.0 and on 8.3.0 System: Windows 10 Pro 22H2, build 19045.4474
It's reproducible with 8.4.0 pre-release ? https://files.kde.org/digikam/
I can't reproduce the problem here. Explorer opens in the directory where the image is located and selects it. We use the following command, you can test it in the CMD: explorer /select file\path\to\the\image Maik

Hi again, thanks for the fast replies. I haven’t tested it with digikam 8.4.0; but I have tested the command Maik provided in his reply. I noticed that there is a missing “,” after the select option and without that it was not working for me. Adding this, the command works for me (at least on another pc I just used to test it). As far as I understand the commit linked below, it also contains changes regarding the explorer command. Is it still necessary that I test this behaviour in digikam 8.4.0?
Yes, I forgot to write the comma. Please test the digiKam-8.4.0 from today (06/03/2024) again. It works here without any problems, even with file paths that contain spaces. Maik

I tested the command in the command-line and it works without problems there. But I have an idea where the issue comes from or when it first occured because this feature worked for me in the past. My images are saved on a network drive in my home network. I have mounted this drive under letter B: on my computer. I recently changed the category of my image folder in the settings from a local collection to a collection on a network share because from what I understood that would be of advantage at least in some cases. Before changing, my images collection also was listed under "Local Collections", now it is shown under "Collections on Network Shares", see attached picture. I still have another collection in digikam for Thumbnail/category icons ("Thumbs") which is located on my computers hard drive. When I try to open an image from this collection, it also works without a problem. I tried cleaning the database with the Maintenance tool, but that did not help. What can I do to investigate further? Regards
Yes, with such a virtual drive letter I can reproduce it. Maik

Unfortunately, the behavior has not changed. Normal drives work, including network drives that are accessed via UNC path (\\SERVERNAME\SHARE\). But a network path via assigned drive letter does not work. I have no idea at the moment. Maik
We probably have to resolve the real path using the Windows API and the GetFullPathName function. We will first try using the corresponding QFileInfo functions. Maik

New Windows build under progress...
The last change works. The reason is that we have one slash too many in an album root of B:/. The FileInfo function clears this up, so it works now. We have to look at which point in the CollectionManager we suppress this slash so that nothing breaks. I think it is best to remove this slash when creating the collection. Maik

I just wanted to report that with digiKam-8.4.0-20240609T183305-Qt6-Win64 "Open in File Manager" works for me - as expected from your comments. But since you reverted your last commit, I guess there are issues or at least things which need to be clarified. Please let me know if I can help here or test something more.
