peke 2013-01-12 02:24 developer ~0034397	I do not see it as bug, due the fact that MS changed way on how reports folder structure and thus this behavior.

user_chrisjj 2013-01-12 02:45 updater ~0034399	I think the Devs should accept that before they ship MM for a new version of Windows, they should make the changes required by that new version of Windows.

rusty 2013-01-12 23:23 administrator ~0034400	I think that the current behaviour is actually desireable in most circumstances as it conforms to the manner in which Windows displays the same information. i.e. in Windows Explorer, paths are shown for both /desktop/<homedir> and /desktop/my computer/c/... Both contain redundant information, but are nonetheless displayed because most users won't have a clue re. how to navigate from the My Computer node to their home directory. MediaMonkey does the same thing--it shows 2 different views onto the same data, and I'm fairly certain that eliminating either of those views would only trigger confusion.

user_chrisjj 2013-01-17 13:33 updater ~0034506	I don't see this done by any other Windows program, including music programs such as JR Media Centre. And I don't see this done by MediaMonkey on other files with multiple paths e.g. on network drives, SUBST drives.
