Windows shorcut on folder not recognized in Open file dialog

[SebG]

Hello,

Issue with PL/SQL developer 13 (version 13.0.0.1883).

Our developer have Windows shortcuts (.lnk) to quickly access some folders.

With pl/sql developer 12 it was working well, when double click on it in dialog box, target folder was opened (shortcut was displayed as a folder in file list).

Now with version 13, shortcut are not displayed as "folder" in dialog box anymore but like a file and when select it, PL/SQL Developer try to open it like a file.

Please can you check ?
Thank you

SebG.

This has been fixed for the upcoming 13.0.1 patch release.

Ok thank you.

Workaround is (as you suggested in my other post) to tick the "Use standard Windows file dialog" option in Preferences > User Interface / Options.
