I took a look at the source code, and it seems obvious why this is
happening. This is from function win32_gtk_add_drives_to_dir_list() in
gtkfilesel.c:
/* Get the drives string */
GetLogicalDriveStrings (sizeof (buffer), buffer);
/* Add the drives as necessary */
textPtr = buffer;
while (*textPtr != '\0')
{
/* Ignore floppies (?) */
if (GetDriveType (textPtr) != DRIVE_REMOVABLE)
{
So it is deliberately ignoring floppies and other removable media. Anyone
know why that is?
