Bug when launching from command line

[sinilill]

I'm launching XYplorer via command line with a file path and get different result when XY is running and when not. It is only happening with locations like Desktop and Userprofile.

When XY is running and I try to launch myfile.txt which is on my desktop, then XY tries to go to XYinstallDIR\Desktopmyfile.txt\
When XY is not running and I launch the same command, then XY is starting, opens a new tab and selects the myfile.txt file

Same happens with the Userprofile folder, XY want's to go to XYinstallDIR\USERmyfile.txt\
When not running XY opens the USER folder and selects myfile.txt

And you don't want to show us the exact command, that you're executing?

[sinilill]

I'm launching it from AkelPad's toolbar: XYplorer.exe %f, %f is the filepath.

[highend]

Works fine for me when I execute XY from it with a file on my desktop.

You did surround the %f param with double quotes in AkelPads general tab setting?

[sinilill]

Yeah, I have %f quoted.

Now I downloaded a fresh copy of XY and tried it with a file path just from the cmd prompt. It WORKED, XY was running and I could enter as many file paths as I wanted and it would go to the location and select the file. But after a XY restart it DID NOT WORK anymore. I can still start XY with a file path and it works, but when XY is already running it isn't working anymore! I tried it with 3 fresh copies of XY and everytime had the same behaviour! Folder paths are always working!

Looks like the last backslash from the file path is moved to the very end, so it looks like a folder path.
Both instances of XY are 15.40.0106

Configuration > Startup & Exit > Allow multiple instances

Disable that. Try again.

[sinilill]

Thanks, that solved the problem!

[highend]

Yeah, but it's still a bug

[admin]

Yes, but not XY's bug.

[highend]

Which bug is it then?

A command prompt:

echo "%temp%\1.txt"
"C:\Users\Highend\AppData\Local\Temp\1.txt"

"D:\Users\Highend\Tools\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" "%temp%\1.txt"

The running XY instance should now open that path inside a tab and select the file but with
[x] Allow multiple instances
you only get:

Location currently not available.
Highend\AppData\Local\Temp1.txt

C:\Users\
is missing
and the backslash after Temp.

If [ ] Allow multiple instances is off, the same procedure leads to a correct result.

Can't see a bug invoked through the command prompt?

[admin]

Oh, now I see it too! Yes, it IS a bug. Fixing...

[admin]

Fixed. It was even a double bug.

- %temp% not parsed
- slash missing

Thanks!

[highend]

For other environment variables the missing slash was fixed as well?

E.g.: %userprofile% is resolved correctly but the missing backslash after the folder messes the thing up.

[admin]

Yes, all should be fixed next ver.
