Not sure if this is a bug (or a deliberate change) - but anyway it is a change in behaviour that has caused my scripts to fail.
The change is somewhere between 18.7 and 19.5 (I did a large step update)
In the older versions these two simple script lines (I have them on a button) would achieve the same thing, i.e. run the program referred to
<xypath>\..\Portsuite\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\Notepad++Portable.exe
<xydrive>\Dropbox\ThePort\Portsuite\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\Notepad++Portable.exe
in 19.5 they suddenly behave differently
The relative path version (version 1) just changes the active pane to the folder containing the executable
The second version (absolute path) just changes the active pane to the path of the file referred to
The difference in behaviour is new and is not due to spaces in the path. Both scripts "find" the executable in that they show up the correct icon.
Change in script action depending on absolute/relative path

Re: Change in script action depending on absolute/relative path
Could you show the full button definition, please?
