Under Windows 10/11 (and maybe before, I don't remember) there is a
feature which lets you create a virtual hard drive (a large file on
disk), and then mount it as a disk volume in a subdirectory (folder).
(see below for more detailed description)
Is it correct the GnuCash (5.14) does not recognize folders which are
actually mounted VHDs? Every time I open a file dialog in GnuCash, the
folder I'm looking for simply isn't shown.
For comparison, I use dozens of other desktop programs, and all of them
have never had a problem finding these folders. Only one, a version of
the old school File Manager program from Windows XP or thereabouts, had
this same problem, but now the latest version of even that program works
with them correctly too.
In case anyone wonders why this is important to me, I encrypt certain of
my VHDs with BitLocker, so when I unmount one of them, it immediately
becomes unreadable to anyone without the password (without disrupting
the rest of my system in any way). This is one of the key ways I protect
confidential info, both my own and that of others I interact with.
VHD description: "/Virtual hard disks (VHD and VHDX) are file-based disk
images that behave like real disks to Windows: you can format them,
assign drive letters, install software to them, and _mount or detach
them on demand._ /" (copied from windowsforum.com, they said it better
than I could).
