When i want to select a file from my computer, i used to be able to select any drive. Now, i can only select files from the standard directories. This is really annoying as I have my projects on multiple drives. I have to copy them to one of the standard directories in order to add them to my website. This has been happening for a few months, before that, i could always select from any directory on any drive.
Please fix this urgently. I am using Website X5 Pro 2024.1.8

I only have one drive, but when I insert a USB stick I can access it with the current version of WebSiteX5.
It is possible to use Windows Explorer instead of WebSiteX5 Explorer by clicking on the folder while holding down the left CTRL key.

Using Ctrl-Key works to open Windows Explorer. All the same, is there no solution for getting the internal explorer to show the list of drives at the bottom. I have several drives and none of them now appear. They did in the past.
As not everybody is experiencing this issue, what do i have to do to make it work on my system, again.
With the next update, Windows Explorer will be used again for files on the PC, so you can now also use Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcut.
Sorry, a mistake on my part.
The screenshot apparently already shows the update, see excerpt from the changelog below.
If no solution to the problem is found, then the key combination must be used to access all drives.

WebSite X5 - 2024.2
NEW Automatic and transparent file management
We thought we'd make things easier for you by having WebSite X5 take over complete management of the files used in your projects. This brings about some significant updates:
✔️ In all locations where you can import a file, you'll now find two commands: Local File, which allows you to access the Windows File Selection window and select a file available on your PC, and Online Library, to access the integrated online libraries of free and premium images.

Now I have downloaded, installed and tested the preview version 2024.2.1 to see the file selection for the drives.
My USB stick is also displayed in the Windows Explorer window that opens through WebSiteX5.

Hello Peter,
this Incomedia file exporer is a bullshit option and fully bugged!
One year ago at the beginning I had marked some issue to display network drives.
No solution had been found, and they said me that was not possible for the moment to fix it...
And never they do something !!!!
Wait the next version where this exporer will be removed ! Oufffff
One year of buggy option. what stupid energy !!!!

I have just updated to WebSite X5 Pro 2024.2.4 and can confirm that the Windows Explorer is now used by default again. That solves the problem and makes the software useable again.
I not solve the issue, because the issue is not solved by R&D because they have NO solution...sometimes it's works and sometimes no....
It's an Incomedia bugged option added into the software with no solution to fix it (alerted since more 1 yr.... ).... So they go to back whith the native and old solution
it's a workaround only !
