0305061 - Source Validation

It may happen that the program fails to validate a source.

With v1.0.68.0 this should happen only when you share an empty volume in a network (for example: "\\myPC\CDWRITER").

The problem occurs because the program validate the source folder in 2 steps:

• validate by file system into cataloguing API ("FindFileFirst"...).  Unluckly these APIs do not work  fine with network shares.
• if the first test fails and the source folder is a network UNC folder, then the program tries to peek into it.  If it finds something (mainly '.' or '..' folders) then it is valid.

Well I think that there are at least 2 walkarounds.  The first is simply copy something into this disk (the 2nd test doesn't fail anymore), the second is mapping the network shares as a drive.

From v1.0.70.1 this problem should be fixed.
The taken approach is to peek into the source to get the first item.  In case of failure (source is empty) it looks for system error codes to see if there is no file or it's a bad path.
