ShellBoost

Mirror sample

Source repository: https://github.com/aelyo-softworks/ShellBoost-Samples

A .NET Core console application that demonstrates a namespace application mirroring a physical folder present on the disk. Requires ShellBoost 1.6.0.3 or higher. It’s implemented in only a few lines of code.

It supports the Windows Explorer “Hidden Items” command.

It does not support all classical folder features (delete, copy, auto update when the disk changes, etc.), but these can be added if needed.

Note this sample uses the same native proxies as the Overview and CoreOverview samples, so it will be visible under the “ShellBoost.Overview” virtual folder under the “My PC” item in the Shell namespace.

In the screenshot below, the namespace extension displays the content of the C:\ folder. The « Hidden items » command in Explorer Command bar can be clicked to show hidden items:
