Creating "u-r-l" shortcut bug since beta3

Post by *zoooom »

I noticed a strange bug coming since beta3 and still in the program (beta4) and it worked fine with beta2. Best is I describe what I do and you should be able to reproduce the problem yourself. But it doesnt happen every time, just once all 20-30 tries.

Open firefox browser (I'm using version 2.0.0.2) and open any website you want. Now drag the icon from the "u-r-l"-window into an opened total commander window. Once every 10-20 times you do that total commander doesnt create a "u-r-l" shortcut. Totalcommander creates a strange cryptic named file something like "r" or "%" or "t" etc. Also often total commander creates the "u-r-l" file and another file just named "r", "t", .... The thing is that I often create bookmarks by just creating an "u-r-l" shortcut in a folder on my harddrive instead of using the bookmarks option in firefox or favorites function in ie, cause then I would have something like 1000+ bookmarks already.

I'm using Windows Vista 64bit version and as I said with beta2 everything worked fine. I hope you can reproduce that strange bug.

Btw. I had to use "u-r-l" instead of ... cause when sending the message I get that spam-error message and I'm not allowed to post "urrlllsss" - so dont blame me, blame that guy who wrote that php script ;)

Yes, it's the same problem. TC tries to copy one more file than the program reports. It will be fixed in beta 5.

This should be fixed in RC1. Please test!

As that bug is confirmed as fixed, this one should also be considered as fixed. At least, I could catch something very similar in TC7pb4 (TC tried to create an additional file with strange one-non-printable-character name), and in TC7rc4 this is no more reproducable.
