Editor2 bug when saving, ver.2.6.0.7 Unicode

Editor2 bug when saving. ver.2.6.0.7 Unicode

Editor2 is a great program - it handles larger files and faster than notepad. However, there is one annoying bug. When you try to save a file, and try to open a shortcut to a directory to save it, it asks to replace the directory foldername.ink. and you can not navigate to that folder from the shortcut. Unfortunately, this makes it kind of useless.

This does not occur with notepad or UltraEdit-32, http://www.ultraedit.com

I got the same response as gruch_s when I tried it.  
I just never noticed it before because I have always navigated to the destinatation folder vs. trying a shortcut/link route.

Clarification

Post by gruch_s »

Let me clarify further.

When doing a "save as" in Editor2, I can drill through folders in the dialog box, however, I cannot drill through shortcuts to folders. If I click on a shortcut to a folder, it asks me if I want to replace it and I am stuck and cannot get to the desired save location. This does not happen in the "My Network Places" folder - I can drill through shortcuts in this folder. It happens in the "My Documents" folder. With Editor2, I can open the defaullt folders like "My Pictures" and "My eBooks," but cannot open any shortcuts to folders that I have added. I can however open these shortcuts with all my other apps like MS Office, Notepad, Adobe, Macromedia, etc. It is just Editor2 that has this issue. I tried creating fresh shortcuts - no change, Editor2 gives the same message.

I do not see any way to add attachments to this forum, so I will paste some of the log files from Sysinternals regmon and filemon, starting at the point where I click on the shortcut to a folder on the local drive called "tempi." Perhaps these can help find out what is happening.

ok i see where the problem lies
ed2 uses an "all files" filter which technically could mean overwriting an existing shortcut .lnk "file"

if you add a filter like *.txt, then all works nicely

Reply about xplorer2 scrap file save.

At your suggestion, I tried this, and it navigates the shortcuts in "My Documents" fine with no problems.

Filter?

<<if you add a filter like *.txt, then all works nicely>>

I am not sure what you mean by this. I see no filter options in the menus. If I try saving "my.txt" selecting each of the file type options, it still asks me if I want to overwrite the shortcut for all of them.

Yes, I previously tried that without success.
