A series of VLC Players (including 1.1.4) have this error...

Postby FlexibleDream » 27 Aug 2010 15:36

I am not sure if it is my computer itself or VLC Player but since I used VLC 1.1.0, it can not "Show containing folder" in "Media Play List".

What exactly happening here is: when you "Ctrl + L" to open play list then you right click on a media file and click on "Show containing folder...", there is NOT THING happens.

Is it supposed to open the folder containing the media file I clicked on ? Just like in Windows Media Player, it would show and highlight the media file you click on !?

Can any body please help me on this ? How to fix it, is it because of my computer or VLC Player itself ? My PC is as follow:

Genuine Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit (Core 2 Duo laptop)
Onboard video card
Windows Media Player 12 is disabled
VLC 1.1.4 and is the only media player on my PC

Go here (http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/) and download 1.0.5. It works like gangbusters. Gangbusters, I tells ya!

Is that a version of VLC 1.0.5

However, I want to use the latest version as it is most stable. Will there be a fix for it or I have to do it manually instead of waiting for the next release ?

Thank you all. :)

VLC 1.1.4 won't fix the Show containing folder issue.
