Sorry, I can't reproduce it. Did you mean the dialog in the screenshot you linked to? If so, did you download the plugin archive with a browser and extract it with TC 10? Then you should check the properties of NTLinksMaker.exe (or NTLinksMaker64.exe) and click on Allow (button or checkbox, depending on Windows version). BTW, this dialog has nothing to do with digital signatures. It just means that the file was downloaded from an potentially unsafe source, i.e. the internet.

Unsafe files downloaded from Internet have nothing to do with digital signatures.Fla$her wrote: ↑2021-06-12, 07:37 UTCAlthough this is not required, just run the application by Enter.
Why do you write "previous"? There is no signature in the last one either. What plugin?
1. rundll32.exe inetcpl.cpl, LaunchSecurityDialogEx
2. Local Intranet zone > [Custom level...] button
3. Launching applications and unsafe files: Prompt (system-recommended option)

Downloaded files can be unblocked and thats all.
The system will not complain when the downloaded files have digital signatures.

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
2Fla$her: You are right: With TC 10 the behaviour has been changed.
In previous versions TC just ignored to set the "Zone.Identifier" data stream for downloaded file like Internet Explorer and other programs already did.
Starting with TC 10 this has been changed.
This has not been changed since years and is valid for all kind of downloaded files.
To enable the start of those file, you have to trust them individually.
Just show the properties of this file and allow the access by fill the security checkbox at the bottom of the first page.

The behaviour is the same, If you have downloaded the file with your web browser.history.txt wrote: Added: When downloading files via FTP from anonymous FTP server, add a "Zone.Identifier" data stream (32/64)
Added: When downloading files via HTTP and the remote IP address isn't an intranet address, add a "Zone.Identifier" data stream like a web browser (32/64)
Added: wincmd.ini [Configuration] WantZoneData=7 configure zone identifier data creation. Sum of: 1=enabled, 2=remote http, 4=anonymous ftp, 8=ftp with login, 16=local http (32/64)
When unpacking files internally or via plugins, copy "Zone Transfer" data stream from archive to unpacked files, just like the Explorer
New zone transfer option can be disabled via WantZoneData=0

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
Yes.
I performed the unlock on the [Unlock] button. Thanks.
I understand. But I wrote about what is indicated in the dialog itself (below), and not about my guesses.
Good. So I did. Thanks for the details.
Accompodiable question: why doesn't this dialog appear when specifying * at the beginning of the Command field?

Sometimes we want to make the file_softlink to several folders and vp at the same time ,
I know the F5(copy) can copy selected file(s) like that as the imge in advanced options with marked option selection.
and we all want to know if the NTLinksMaker plugin can do it like that ?
Best regards

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
To my knowledge, NTLinksMaker can make multiple links from a list to a single folder.
What you could do is to run multiple time the tool for each selected folders in target panel using a script that keep First parameter for source and all the following to re-run the tool using %R.

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
This is the first of two bug reports regarding version 1.4.2.436.
Steps to reproduce:
Regards
Dalai
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a directory of your choice, e.g. C:\a
- Copy some file into this directory (or create one in TC via Shift+F4).
- This step is important! Rename the file to "foobar" or similar. The relevant part is that the file name must not have an extension!
- Launch NTLinks Maker with the usual parameters, e.g.
Code: Select all
/q- /b /r="%P" "@%WL" "%T"
- Type a new name with an extension, e.g. "Readme.txt" and hit OK
- The hard link is created but without any extension!
- Repeat step 5, but this time type "foobar.txt", and hit OK. The relevant part in this step is that the file must have the same base name as the existing file, but includes an extension.
- NTLinks Maker will show an error saying "Error creating link" because the file already exists. Sure, the file without the extension exists, but not the one without the extension that it's supposed to create.

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
This is the second bug report regarding version 1.4.2.436.
Prerequisites: You need to have some other disk volume available apart from the usual drive C:, e.g. drive D: or E: or whatever drive letter.
Steps to reproduce:

Dalai
Prerequisites: You need to have some other disk volume available apart from the usual drive C:, e.g. drive D: or E: or whatever drive letter.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a file with the following contents(or whatever other drive letter you have available) and save this file with UTF-16 encoding to a location of your choice.
Code: Select all
D:\
- Launch NTLinks Maker with the following parameters (can be done outside of TC):Change the name/path C:\list.txt according to the file created in step 1
Code: Select all
/n "@C:\list.txt" "C:\zOtherVolume"
- Confirm the prefilled link name (which will be the one from the previous step) by hitting OK.
- NTLinks Maker does nothing, no junction is created (as it's supposed to do), and no error message either.

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
Thank you for reports, I can reproduce both, I'll try to find some time to fix them.

I also found this internal dialog: https://ibb.co/LN92K9K
Yes - this is the correct window, indeed the target folder had restrictions (I could only read the contents),
but why does it look so awful?
P.S. Though about the correctness of its appearance is also a question. I did the hard link first.
And that's where this window popped up. And then I decided to try to create a symbolic link - and ...
here it was created without question! And why such different behavior for a folder that actually had restrictions?
Any news about it?I can reproduce both, I'll try to find some time to fix them.

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
Sorry, no news yet.
What exactly looks awful? It is a standard Windows message dialog, I don't control its style. The only thing I do is enlarge it to add the bottom button, so white strip appears.

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
More-or-less standard dlg IMHO will look like this:

http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/JavaImages/MessageBoxWorkingIconAbortRetryIgnoreButton.PNG
https://www.flixo.com/manual/flixo8/en/dialog_matimport_name.gif
And of course this "second line"d button - is terrible. Only in 1 line buttons look more-or-less suitable in this dlg.
Plus that's really strange that we have "standard?" color striping. White-gray-white. Ok, 2nd gray - is the result
of button's adding. But why there is the first white strip? Standard windows dialogs always have single color tone
of their background.

Re: NTLinks + NTLinksMaker: NTFS links creation and information
Nope. Windows Vista introduced new dialogs (called Task Dialogs), and it also revamped the standard MessageBox dialogs. You can see the latter in TC when it's running on Vista or later. Press Shift+Del on some file/directory or open Help > About TC, and see for yourself.

Win10 and Win11 - is it enough for this?
And I did not see such "interlaced" dialogs/message box nowhere
