There is an error in the paths of nested aliases. Please see attachment for details.

Create aliases:

1. home=%user%\home -good
2. dir=<get alias home>\somedir -good
3. sub=<get alias dir>\subdir -bug

or

1. dir=<xypath>\.. -good
2. sub=<get alias dir>\subdir -good
but in file-associations:
3. ext><get alias sub>\someprogram.exe -bug

Nested aliases, I see. Should be fixed in next beta.

Aliases: The nesting of aliases using <get ...> was limited. It's not
anymore. Now you can do this

Thanks a lot for a quick fix.

But some aliases (with relative paths) still do not work in the file-association dialog (and file-icons):

parent=<xypath>\..
ext><get alias parent>\someprogram\program.exe -dont work

or

dir=%user%\dir
ext><get alias dir>\someprogram\program.exe -dont work
