@yaira2 I'm looking at the contribution guidelines, but I can't find anything about branch naming and what branch the new branch should be based on
You need to fork Files first then you can name the branch whatever you want and base it on main.
Got it, thanks. This is the first open source project I'm working on, so I'm new to that kind of stuff :)
Does anyone have an idea about how I can fake a network drive that won't connect, or how I can force the connection to a drive to fail the connection?
You could try making a local drive share (Windows File Explorer > Drive properties > Share). Mapping the drive to Windows (Right click the network section > Map drive > Enter \\Computer name\share name) > un-share the drive so it doesn't exist anymore on the network.
A bit of a hassle, but it works! Thank you. One last question. Can you point me in the right direction in the code? What folder/project to look in at least? I have no familiarity in the folder and file structure
I don't know as I don't work with the codebase. @yaira2 or @0x5bfa might know.
To clarify @yaira2 or @0x5bfa, I'm wondering where the actual UI code is. Where can I find the initialization of another modal for example?
@mariusfranzen Modal is actually called ContentDialog. If you'd like to see an example of it you can see Files.App.Dialogs namespace, where there's a bunch of it. When you're gonna create a new one, you can create from the Visual Studio templates window.
@0x5bfa I don't know how much help you guys are actually willing to provide, but I can't for the life of me figure out where in the code I should check if there has been a problem accessing the network location. I have tried multiple solutions, but nothing works like it should
