Hi,

In a nut shell, yes, yes and yes. :-)

Haven't used Dokan yet, but looks very interesting & powerful so far.

Question: can I create a virtual drive with Dokan? I mean can I create
a new drive letter, and implement whatever I want to happen when other
apps open files & folders on it? (including windows explorer itself)

That is, can I implement CreateFile, FindFirstFile / FindNextFile,
CreateDirectory, DeleteFile, etc specifically for this virtual drive?

Cool, thanks! Where would I start best: Dokan library (source),
library (installer), or SSHFS?
I am an experienced developer but the difference beween these packages
is not entirely clear to me...?

I tried to download the library (source) as that seemed the most
logical starting point for my situation, but there is a SVN repository
browser instead of just a single zip file or something (I'm a little
familiar with svn but don't use it myself). Can I simply just download
the library/SDK somewhere and get going?

As for my purpose of a virtual drive, I assume I'd have to inherit
come classes and override the appropriate functions?

Thanks again!

Good starting point would be to run the installer, then compile the Mirror example that comes with the installer for yourself in your own environment, and start playing around with that.

The mirror example is basically implementing a filesystem on top of the regular filesystem again.

Hi,

SSHFS is a system done with Dokan.
Unless you are interested in sshfs, then you just want Dokan. It has a mirror example that results in a subst like drive. It should be enough to get you started.

You can build from source if you really want to, but you will the need DDK. I think it's safe to say most of us just use the downloaded libs, only maybe building if we are debugging something we think might be Dokan itself.

If you are doing a C or C++ Dokan filesystem, you fill in a structure (DOKAN_OPERATIONS) of callbacks with your own callbacks. You pass that structure, and a options structure (DOKAN_OPTIONS, defining drive letter, etc) to DokanMain. I have never looked at the C# binding, but I'm guessing it's a class you inherit from and override and then pass in to DokanMain. Like the C version, I'm sure there is also an options structure/class too.

Hope this is enough to get you started. :-)

Hi Richard,

I saw a Richard in the Dokan Support Forum saying he had a Swedish translation of Dokan. Is it you?

Please contact me in case you are willing to share your translation files with me!

Best regards,

Mattias Rask

Just two quick things:

1. You are replying to a message that seems to be more than four years old. ;-)

2. What translations? Besides developer documentation, and some
console messages or errors, I can't think what translations you are
interested in.

Regards.
