[TC11.00] The cm_CreateShortcut command creates a shortcut with the original file type

[sa16]

The cm_CreateShortcut command, when specifying a path, creates a shortcut with the original file type (not LNK). Example:

Code: Select all

cm_CreateShortcut /T="c:\test\"

TC 11.00 beta 3, 32 & 64bit:
NOT confirmed.

[Fla$her]

Confirm. At the same time, there is no such problem with WM_CopyData.

[Horst.Epp]

Not confirmed here.
Test case
cm_CreateShortcut /T="d:\test\"
for file t1.txt
creates d:\test\t1.txt.lnk

[sa16]

There is a dependence on the method of calling the command: it works correctly from the command line; from the button, start menu - not.

it works correctly from the command line; from the button, start menu - not.

Confirmed.

Add the Directory Hotlist to that list where the link is created with the wrong extension.

If I make a Keyboard remapping it works correctly with cm_CreateShortcut as the Command and /T="d:\test\" in the Parameter field.

If I put cm_CreateShortcut /T="d:\test\" into en em_command (em_MyCreateShortcut), then that em_command does not work correctly no matter where it is used


EDIT:

An em_command like this does not work correctly:

Code: Select all

[em_CreateShortcut1]
cmd=cm_CreateShortcut /T="c:\test2\yy\"

Whereas this does:

Code: Select all

[em_CreateShortcut2]
cmd=cm_CreateShortcut
param=/T="c:\test2\yy\"

[ghisler(Author)]

cm_CreateShortcut /T="c:\test\"

This just puts c:\test\ in the name field. When you use cm_CreateShortcut without parameters, you get
c:\test\*.*.lnk instead. So when you use

cm_CreateShortcut /T="c:\test\*.*.lnk"

instead, it will work fine.

I will detect when there is no .lnk and append it myself.

Whereas this does:

No it doesn't, the param field is ignored.

No it doesn't, the param field is ignored.

Yes, of course, I just´thappened to have c:\test2\yy\ opened in the other panel when I tested, that's why it seemed to work.

I did as follows: cm_CreateShortcut /T="c:\test\*.lnk"

T="path": Target path, MUST be put in double quotes, and end with a backslash if a directory

Maybe more understandable, Target path and/or file mask?

[ghisler(Author)]

Maybe like this?
Target path, MUST be put in double quotes, and end with a backslash if a directory, or with a file mask with wildcards to rename files

[sa16]

Yes, of course - the main thing is that the file mask is mentioned.
So everything will be clear.

I will detect when there is no .lnk and append it myself.

Perhaps this should be done only in the case when the mask is not indicated at all.
And add taking into account AppendLnk.

[sa16]

Maybe you should add another parameter for CM_COPY, CM_RENMOV?
R: Keep relative paths (relative to current directory)

Edit:
When copying files from branch view (Ctrl+B).

[ghisler(Author)]

Perhaps this should be done only in the case when the mask is not indicated at all.

How? Is there any use case where a link should have a different extension than .lnk?

And add taking into account AppendLnk.

It will take it into account.

[sa16]

Is there any use case where a link should have a different extension than .lnk?

I don't know. But this option (to change the extension) is available in the command without parameters (Ctrl + Shift + F5). In my opinion, you should not lose this opportunity in a command with parameters.

I will detect when there is no .lnk and append it myself.

Fixed in 11b4.
