Description idkfa 2010-12-16 09:54:03 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 6.9.1 (Build 201011082200)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_21
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 17.0-b17

I have NTFS volume mounted at C:\Vol path, and python interpreter installed at C:\Vol\python27.
When I try to add this interpreter as new python platform, I have to manually specify full path to the python executable, because file browser dialog does not allow me to enter C:\Vol directory.

Unable to replicate anomaly, and file browser has probably been updated in the last four years. Marking as WORKSFORME, but feel free to reopen if error persists with a recent build.

To retest, make sure you are using a recent DEVELOPMENT version of NetBeans IDE from 
http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/
AND with Python plugin installed from "Latest Build" update center at 
http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nbms-and-javadoc/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

Correction: Use the DEVELOPMENT UC at http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz
