I would like to use Fixity to monitor files on a Synology NAS that is connected to my personal LAN. I'm using Windows 10 64-bit to run Fixity but when I try and add directory to a project the drives that I have mapped to my NAS are not listed and if I click on Network to manually navigate to my NAS in the "Open" dialog the network listing is completely blank (Network discovery if ON).

Does Fixity not support network and/or mapped drives?

Ah - figured out a workaround. To add a network path I can't use the "Open" dialog box to navigate to find the foler, I have to do that in Windows Explorer, copy the path there and then paste the path into Fixity's "Open" dialog's "Folder name".

Rather inelegant.

Hello, and thanks for your note and the update. Fixity should work with any drive that is mounted on your system. Just to confirm, have you used the "Map Network Drive" feature in Windows to mount the NAS on your system so that it appears as a local/removable drive would with an assigned drive letter? If you have done that then Fixity should be able to access that mapped drive just like any other drive.
