windows 8 [Defect] Library Content and Symbolic Links are Displayed Differently by Modern and Desktop Applicat

[News Bot]

Hello,

I've noticed that Desktop and Modern apps differently handle contents of Libraries.

Symptoms

When you add a folder to a Windows library this added folder is displayed differently in Desktop and Modern apps. If you expand or open the library in a Desktop application such as Windows Explorer, you will see added folder and all the subfolders within

that added subfolder. When opening the same library from a Modern app, such as Mail, you will see only the subfolders but not the added

 

Library: Pictures

Folder you add to the library: X:|

                                              |-Pictures-|

                                                           

 |-Pictures-|                                                             

                                                                            |-Mine

                                                                            |-Special

 

Folder structure as seen from a Desktop app: X:|

                                                                        |-Pictures-|

                                                                    

                  |-Pictures-|

                                                                  

                                   |-Mine

                                                                                                      |-Special

 

 

Folder structure as seen from a Modern app: X:|

                                                                   

|-Pictures-|

                                                                                   |-Mine

                                                                                       |-Special

View in Windows Explorer:

View in Mail app:

[url=' alt='> [url='>

NOTE: The Pictures folder in this figure of Mail app is the Windows library and not the Pictures folder added to the Pictures library.

Where is the folder I added to the library? How do I save files to that folder from the Mail app?

 

Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...
