Aliases in POM do not work

[bdeshi]

• Suppose I have an alias

Code: Select all

@xyparent=<xypath>\..

And a portable OpenWith Menu entry

Code: Select all

*.txt ><@xyparent>\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe

This shows an error:

Code: Select all

Could not find: 
C:\Tools\XYplorer\Notepad2\notepad2.exe

• Suppose I have an alias

Code: Select all

@xydata_alias=<xydata>

And a portable OpenWith Menu entry

Code: Select all

*.txt ><@xydata_alias>\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe

This shows an error:

Code: Select all

Could not find: 
C:\Tools\XYplorer\C:\Tools\XYplorer\XYData\Notepad2\notepad2.exe

Note the path in the error.
[ed. fails on ::fresh too]

Posted in bug reports because I seem to remember aliases did used to work here.

It's weird but I cannot make this fail. It works perfectly here in POM as well as in CFI.

PS: Also tested with fresh instance.

I just found a cosmetic bug where the icon was not shown in the POM List Management. But the functionality is there.

Nope. I get no activity at all, let alone any icon. Needs more Sherlocking.
