[HELP] A separate description is required for CM_CREATESHORTCUT

[Fla$her]

TOTALCMD.CHM > Dialog box: Choose command

At the moment, CM_CREATESHORTCUT doesn't support most of the parameters available for CM_COPY, CM_RENMOV.
It's necessary to issue a separate description below so that users do not get confused.

Sorry, too busy. I will just add a note saying
"CM_CREATESHORTCUT doesn't support all the parameters (see changed dialog box).".

[Fla$her]

At the moment, only 4 options work: G, O, T and W.
I suggest just marking them with asterisks:

CM_COPY, CM_RENMOV, CM_CREATESHORTCUT *:
...
O0..9: Overwrite options, numbers as in the dialog box *
...
G: Go: Start copying immediately (not required when specifying T="path") *
T="path": Target path, MUST be put in double quotes, and end with a backslash if a directory *
W="wildcards": Copy only files of this type *

Thanks for checking, that saves me some time.

G: Go: Start copying immediately (not required when specifying T="path") *

What do you mean with that? G tells TC to start immediately (skipping the dialog) whether T is set or not. If T isn't set, the path from the other panel will be used as the target.

[Fla$her]

What do you mean with that?

This means that in the absence of G and the presence of T="path", the dialog will also not appear similarly with G without T="path".

I do not confirm (cm_CreateShortcut /T="C:\Test\*.lnk"). The window appears.

Check in the button.

In it I checked.

[Fla$her]

So. I found the cause. I didn't take into account that quotation marks are mandatory for T.
And if the letter g is located in the path without encasing it in quotation marks, then TC will search for the letter, ignoring non-letter characters like ":\".
So a shortcut will appear in another panel:
cm_CreateShortcut /T=C:\g
cm_CreateShortcut /T=C:\blagbla

I will show an error when the user doesn't use a "=" followed by double quotes.

[Fla$her]

You probably wanted to say that it does not use double quotes after "="?
And why is the presence of quotation marks so important? Why can't support be done without them?

[ghisler(Author)]

Because otherwise people will easily forget them when they are actually needed, e.g. when the path contains a comma.

[Fla$her]

From the "Wrong parameters specified!" message, the user will not understand that the problem is precisely in the absence of quotation marks.

CM_CREATESHORTCUT CM_CREATESHORTCUT supports the following parameters from CM_COPY and CM_RENMOV:
O, G, T and W.

Better like this:

CM_CREATESHORTCUT Supports the following parameters from CM_COPY and CM_RENMOV: O, G, T and W.

[ghisler(Author)]

I added the Enter to keep the 4 together, they were broken to 2 lines. But I can leave out the second CM_CREATESHORTCUT.

[Fla$her]

OK.
