Version 0.29.12 Initial remote directory locking as home directory

[j33716]

Description of the Issue

The new version now locks the "Initial remote directory" to act as a home directory.
Whatever the Initial remote directory is set to is the base folder. You cannot go below that directory

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Set Initial remote directory to /var/www/html
2. Open the connection
3. Try to go to /var/spool (or any other folder below the initial)

Expected Behavior

This was not the case in previous versions. As a developer we work in specific folders 90% of the time but still need access
to the other folders occasionally. The only way to do this now is to set the initial remote directory to /
This means to get to the 90% we have to click through folders every time.

The Initial remote directory is now the Home directory

Debug Information

NppFTP v 0.29.12 Unicode

@j33716 Which version was still functional ? 0.29.11? What are you using SFTP, FTPS, FTPES or plain FTP?
As with 0.29.12 just zlib was updated it is unlikely that this changed the behaviour with the initial remote directory.

We only use SFTP We were using 0.29.8 with zlib .11 One system still has this on it

@j33716
A see a changed behaviour which was introduced with 0.29.9. It also happens for plain FTP connections. Before it was possible to trigger a refresh of the directory via double click on the dir entry. Now it is necessary to use either the refresh entry from context menu or the refresh button.
Is this the problem you are facing?

I tested with test.rebex.net and /pub/example as initial dir.

Duplicates #349 , please add further comments there.

No. When I set the Initial Remote Directory to something like /var/www/html, then connect to the server, I cannot access files in /var or my home directory I have to set the initial remote directory to / and then click through /var/www/html/directories every time. If I leave the initial remote directory blank, it locks me to my home directory
