goto shorthand

Post by xy-man »

I just wonder if the documentation for the "Goto-Shorthand" in script files is correct:
If I understand it correctly the doc says that
"C:\WINDOWS\SoundMan.exe|*" goto "C:\WINDOWS\SoundMan.exe";
is equivalent to
C:\WINDOWS\SoundMan.exe

But it seems to me that specifying a file path (in contrast to a directory)
actually "starts" the file whereas goto always locates/focuses its first argument.

You can control the Address Bar behavior here:
Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous | Open files from Address Bar
Note that a small overlay no the icon in the Address Bar tells you that the file will be opened (started).

The scripting command goto is not affected by this setting.
