[9.50b4] Quick view for LNK shows error messages

[MVV]

This may happen if LNK points to a special location like network connection. I can reproduce the problem with following LNK:

Code: Select all

MIME-Version: 1.0 
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="LocalAreaConnection.lnk" 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="LocalAreaConnection.lnk"

When I try to open this LNK, I get "object not found" message, and I get the same message from quick view for this LNK. I think that quick view should resolve LNK target silently w/o any error messages.

Quick view cannot show data from such a destination. What should it show instead?

[MVV]

Well, I think that for LNK (that matches QuickViewFollowLinks option) you should:
1. Show target file/folder if available,
2. Show LNK file using a plugin like LinkInfo (if one exists that accepts LNK files).
3. Show error text just in quick view window (but if user tries to switch view mode, perhaps show LNK file contents).

Works fine in 9.50b5, thanks!
