OS: Linux Mint 20.2 (latest)
Problem: Right-clicking a folder on a networked drive -does- bring up the context menu selection for 'select left folder for compare' but it does not seem to actually register to BC4. Usually the next R-click should include a 'Compare to' selection which would compare to the previously selected folder. That selection does not appear.
I am usually trying to access a Windows system from a Linux system, so maybe that is relevant. The windows folders are accessed via Samba, so they'd require an SMB prefix, such as smb://MachineName/DriveName/FolderName. If I enter this by hand, BC4 is able to do the comparison, as expected.
Additional: If the two folders (again, usually Linux and WIndows) are already open in BC, then right-clicking a folder on the Windows side, does bring up a selection for 'open with native application'. Clicking that does spawn a folder with the correct 'smb:' notation in the heading. So BC is able to deal with Samba format after the initial comparison windows are opened.
Given that, wouldn't this likely be a problem in BC's original "R-Click: Select left" simply not capturing the Windows folder designation?
