"Open Containing Folder" no longer working

For some reason "Open Containing Folder" no longer works, whether I select it from the right click menu or hit O. It started before I updated to 0.71 (in fact that is why I updated). I think I had 0.68 before that. I'm running calibre on Vista Home Premium 64 bit. My calibre library is on a networked drive. If I select "Show Book Details" and then click on the link to the folder it opens it fine. Any ideas?

The path to my library is C:\My Dropbox\CalibreLibrary and open containing folder has stopped working on my Windows XP sp3 machine running Calibre 0.7.2.

I'm unsure if this worked on 0.7.1 because I was waiting a few days for 0.7.2 before getting more active on the new version.

Thanks for the work around.

Update: I use this feature all of the time it definitely worked on 0.6.55

It works with a normal drive (internal). I have been using that and "Open with...Sigil" to fine tune the appearance.

It doesn't work for me either. I have my Calibre library on internal drive "f:\ebooks\Calibre Library". Clicking "Show book details" works for me also.

Yes my network drive is mapped. Everything was exactly the same as it is now when it worked before.

Also I just discovered that the "test" of the regex for adding books isn't working either. Even if I put in a file name that is definitely importing metadata correctly, when I click the Test button, nothing shows up in the different fields.

On a Windows machine it doesn't get more normal then the C:\ drive.

I have been using it as well but it currently doesn't work.

Never mind, the talk of network drives through me off. Problem found and fixed, will be in 0.7.3.

I have never used this but I recall a conversation where they said for the test to work you have to have the book extension (.epub or .txt etc...) in the test window.

That may be what I was doing wrong, I don't remember if I added the extension or not. I'm currently on a different computer with an older version of calibre so I can't check, but I'll try it as soon as I get a chance. Thanks!!

I never downloaded 0.7.3, didn't get around to it, but I just installed 0.7.4 and the "open containing folder" still isn't working for me. Did the fix work for anyone else?

Like a champ (XP pro SP3) There is also a link now in the "comments" pane if visible.

The fix works great (Windows XP sp3). Both the right click and the shortcut work fine for me. With the addition of the link in the book details area I find myself using this link more then the shortcut or right clicking to open the folder.

Do you see the Click to Open link in the book details window?

Yeah I see the link and I tried it too, it doesn't work either. And the work around I was using (click the link in "show book details window) isn't working either. I had trouble installing 0.7.4 (the first time through the installation failed and I had to run it again), so I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling. I would like to know if the fix worked for anyone using Vista 64bit. Thanks for your responses!

Okay after doing a lot of uninstalling and reinstalling it still isn't working. I did a little test and changed the location of my calibre library to a location on the c: drive (with just a few test files). Everything works perfectly that way. Unfortunately I can't actually move my calibre library to that location. So now my issue is definitely the fact that my calibre library is on a networked drive. Anybody got any ideas?
