Dosen't support virtual disk drive

[daryl]

Hi

  I've just given tag2find a try and it's pretty a amazing product!
  One problem faced:
      I mapped a folder as a virtual disk drive by windows command "subst": subst K: d:\kbase.
      This cmd maps d:\kbase to disk drive K:.
      But I cannot tag the files from K:\, what I got is "The following item is not supported for tagging and has been ignored".

      It can be tagged from d:\kbase...

Hi,

thanks for your feedback. We are aware of the situation. The problem here is a technical limitation. The "virtual disk" created by subst is not accessible by any other user, which also includes the tag2find service. It is local to you. The problem is, that the service only "sees" the real path, not the virtual one. We will work on it, though.

Thank's again for your feedback!

Best regards,
Martin

I think my feedback is similar or identical -

It doesn't support removable volumes!

I was so happy to find and test this product - I even wrote a review of it:

I hope this problem can be solved!

I keep all my files on an encrypted, virtual volume (using TrueCrypt).  If this can be made to work with TrueCrypt, we've got a winner.  As it is, we have a winner - I'm probably an unusual user.  But it is a royal bummer I thought I could use this with my file systems setup, and apparently I can't.
