Create Shortcut + G modifier fail

[Sombra]

The following happens to me when I try to create a shortcut with parameters. The command fails when I use it together with the "G" modifier and in wincmd.ini is set the option alwayscopyinbackground=2
For example, maybe you can test it using the button below with and without the "G".

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_CreateShortcut
/GO5T="%|$DESKTOP|*.*.lnk"
wcmicons.dll,65
Create a desktop shortcut


-1

Tested on TC64 v11.0, Windows 10 22H2.

I just tried your button together with alwayscopyinbackground=2 with TC 11.00 x64 under Windows 10 and 7 - and it works fine.

What kind of files and in which location are you trying to make links to?

Confirmed. TC11.00 x32. The bug is somehow connected (similar) to this.

Confirmed. Please change the parameters to:
/GB0O5T="%|$DESKTOP|*.*.lnk"
This tells TC to create the shortcut in the foreground. B1 although works.

How come that /GO5T="%|$DESKTOP|*.*.lnk" works for me then?

I have tested in both 32bit and 64bit TC with both with AlwaysCopyInBackground=2 and AlwaysCopyInBackground=1

I also tested wit clean .ini with only AlwaysCopyInBackground=2 added.

Also /GB2O5T="%|$DESKTOP|*.*.lnk" works fine for me.

In my case, the file itself is copied, while .lnk is added to its name.

I see that now - I never thought of checking whether the created file was a real .lnk file. I can confirm the problem too now.

/GB0O5T="%|$DESKTOP|*.*.lnk"

Ok, that does the job. Thanks.

As sa16 wrote for files, also for directory shortcuts (where it's a bit tedious when the directory contains several Gb)
Thanks for testing.

Fixed here in TC 11.01 RC1, thanks.
