  Dear Jean,
  
  Already in v9 I found this issue, but I didn't took the time to register it before...
  
  If you select a favorite folder in QAP from the desktop, while Dopus is not open (but started with Windows) the folder is copied to the address bar in Dopus, but it will be overwritten by Dopus (I suppose)..
  
  Check out my gif to see how this goes. (I just find out that the max is 500kB, I will send the gif by mail...)
  
  I have it on Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 10 Home & Windows 10 Pro

  Hi Ric,
  
  I tried to reproduce this but was unable. Is is doing it with any favorite folder (regular folder and special folder like Download)? If you create on your desktop a file shortcut for a folder or a special folder, do you see the same behavior in DOpus?
  
  I raised the size limit for GIFs to 2 MBs.

  Dear Jean,
  
  I have tried it, but I'll have it with all folders, special or regular, no difference..
  On multiple computers, all running DOPUS 12.17 x64 Build 7198.
  
  The configuration are the same, except little differences on favorites and account folder names
  
  Did you see the gif?

  Yes, I've seen your GIF. When you say "I have tried it", do you talk about this "create on your desktop a Windows file shortcut for a folder or a special folder" and launch the shortcut from your desktop.
  
  I ask this because in your GIF, we see that QAP is opening the requested folder. Then, as far as I can see, DOpus (not QAP) is changing to a new folder. I check in the code and QAP does nothing after changing the to the requested folder. I'm trying to see if this behaviour could occur without involving QAP.

  Hi Jean,
  
  Yes, I tried both suggestions but both are having the same result... I'll see the location in the address bar and after that it goes back to the original folder by opening..
  
  Which version are you running form Dopus? It is possible that Dopus changed something what QAP uses?
  The Dopus guys are normally not that willing to look into such things, I have read many of those cases back in the days where Dopus just told people to ask Folder Popup...
  
  Just ask myself if I can do something in the config or if a old version works well...
  You say that you can't reproduce, which Dopus are you having and I suppose you use the latest QAP?

  Hi Ric,
  
  I'm also using DOpus v12.17 x64. And QAP v10.1.
  
  If you say that you've tried the file shortcut suggestions with the same result, it means to me that QAP is not involved in this issue, not that I want to discharge myself but just that we have to search the correct cause. If this is the case, you could describe this scenario on DOpus forum without mentioning QAP. In the past, DOpus developer have been very helpful. They can certainly help you better than me. But send me the link to your post if you do it. I'll follow it.

  Hi Jean,
  
  Thank you, I will elevate the issue to DOPUS, only difficulty is that I'm not aware how I can rease up the issue without mentioning QAP, because I open DOPUS with QAP on a specific folder..
  Any idea how I can test the issue without using QAP?
  
  Thanks!

  I think you misunderstood my suggestion earlier.
  
  

  Quote: If you create on your desktop a file shortcut for a folder or a special folder, do you see the same behavior in DOpus?

  
  I meant create a "Windows File Shortcut". Please do this (all the following without using QAP):
  
  - on your Desktop, right-click and select "New", "Shortcut".
  - Location: C:\ (or any other folder)
  - give a name to your shortcut
  - double-click on this shortcut on your Desktop.
  
  Is DOpus doing the undesired redirection as when you open a folder with QAP?  If it opens the folder normally, this would confirm that there is an issue with QAP<->DOpus. If not, there is another issue to look for, not involving QAP.

  Hi Jean,
  
  On my new machine the issue cannot be reproduced, so we can close this case..
  
  Thank you for all assistance in this matter,
