thank you for testing the beta version.
The program does not handle ZIP archives in a special way. When you are going to create a link to a file, the program looks for all internal TC commands that are associatated with it, and offers them all in the combobox of the 3rd option of the create dialog, so that you can make your choice. If the program does not find any associated internal commands, then the 3rd option is completely disabled, because then this option actually does not exist for that particular target file. Since the program obviously can't find your internal associations for ZIP archives (and PDF files), it disables the 3rd option for these files.sgp wrote:
- I have internal associations for .zip archives. The niftylink create dialog disables field "with this command associated internally in TC" for .zip archives. Can you enable it?
According to what I found in the TC documentation, my program looks for RedirectSection= in "Wincmd.ini". If you actually use "redirection=" or "redirect=", it cannot work with NiftyLink.exe.sgp wrote:
- [...] So I'm inclined to think that NiftyLink gets confused with my setup, which uses redirection= (this has been discussed in this thread recently). In my setup, I keep sections [searches] and [associations] in a separate .ini file associations-searches.ini, and wincmd.ini redirects both sections with redirect=associations-searches.ini.
Yes, this has been discussed before, but the program, can read redirected INI sections, and also I had the impression that with version 1.04 everything works fine for you, doesn't it?. In version 1.10 beta 1, I did not change the part of the program that reads internal TC associations. So I don't know whats going on on your system. BTW: What TC version are you using (7.57a or 8.0)?
I just tested it here again with version 7.57a: moved the sections [Associations] and [Searches] from "Wincmdi.ini" to a separate file called "associations-searches.ini". And in my "Wincmd.ini", it reads now:
Code: Select all
[Associations]
RedirectSection=associations-searches.ini
[Searches]
RedirectSection=associations-searches.ini
I think it could help, if you show me your [Associations] section. It's probably best to send it to me by mail for the sake of privacy.
