AppendLnk=0 does nothing…

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

AppendLnk=0 does nothing…

Post by *Clo »

:) Hello !

TC 7.0 Help wrote :
AppendLnk=0 Link files (*.lnk) will be created as follows:

0: file.ext -> file.lnk
1: file.ext -> file.ext.lnk
• I've added that entry with the flag "0", but I get still the nasty style file.ext.lnk I don't want for…

Not confirmed, XP SP2.

AppendLnk=0 or missing setting creates file.lnk.
AppendLnk=1 creates file.ext.lnk.

I've added that entry with the flag "0"
This is the default. To see the extension, add the flag "1"!

The opposite

:) Good evening,

• I guess you misunderstood, this is clearly explained in the start message :
- Missing or "0", I DO NOT get the simple *.LNK extension, but always the double one I DO NOT want for !
In my INI :
…AlwaysToRoot=0
AppendLnk=0
AutoComplete=0
AutoInstallPlugins=0
- I run Win XP-Pro SP1 (French¦English) and use the local menu entry to make a LNK short cut.

Strange, I cannot confirm that. How did you try to create the link(s)? With Ctrl+Shift+F5?

:) Like I say above, via the entry of the local menu, I can't work with keys a lot…

Ah, I see - in this case, it's the Explorer which creates the links, and I have no influence on the naming. :(

Yep ! To note…

:) Thanks, useful to hear ! That works with the internal command.

- I'll add a note in the Tutorial about this - we are just making an urgent update for the French speaking users-.

- So, we would recommend to set a button for the command cm_CreateShortcut (1004) in such a case.
- However, there is a snag : from that command, the short cut is always created in the opposite panel -that is often unwanted and annoying- while the Explorer (from the menu) makes it in the current active folder…
- I don't see any similar command in the INC able to create the short cut in the same panel I'm working in. :?:
