\\Desktop

[DarkRuleR]

I have found a missing feature/bug.

The problem:
Left panel I open the "Desktop" (Commands -> Open Desktop Folder).
Right panel I open a ftp connection.

Then I want to copy a file from "Desktop" to ftp server.
And then I get this error:

Code: Select all

Error: Cannot read \\Desktop\<filename>

A filecopy from ftp server to "Desktop" results in this error:

Code: Select all

The given target path
\\Desktop
is invalid!

When one of the panel's is a local drive there is no problem.

Greetz...

Hi!
"Desktop" is a virtual folder! Hence, you can't make these operations, it's specified in the Help and Tutorial.
EDIT:
This under Win 9x! I didn't tested under XP yet...
Kind regards,

Hence, you can do your work by using e.g. c:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\ if you are using a post Win9x/ME operating system.

Using variables is more comfortable.

Instead command cm_OpenDesktop use cd %userprofile%\desktop

P.S.: What has this to do with plugins?

use cd %userprofile%\desktop

This will work only if the desktop folder name is "Desktop".
Fortunately there will be %Desktop% and %Common Desktop% in a future version of TC -> http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=2875

That's pretty obvious because when you rename desktop to something else you have no icons on your desktop anymore... :/

In case you have manually moved the desktop to some other folder I am sure you will know how to fix cd %userprofile%\desktop to fit the other location, not that complicated...

Your idea in the mentioned thread is nice, anyway.

Read the thread linked above! Of course you cannot just rename or move the desktop folder. You also have to adapt the path in the registry (can be done via TweakUI etc. too).

You answer too fast...

just sounds somewhat strange for anyone knowing where to change paths in registry.

use Tweak UI - this is the way to do it without changing the registry entries directly.

We are talking at cross purposes... Let's just stop here.

Could someone move this thread to English forum? I think that more ppl might be interested in that topic than plugin developers only. Thx.

I rather use the internal feature for opening the desktop
but this works great for now!

Thanx!!!

And yes I posted this question by mistake in Plugin dev. so if it can be moved to the right groep? plz...
