hello !
I'm not sure what the new features are ...
"Now you can drag-drop items onto shortcuts in List and Catalog."
or
"Targets of shortcuts are shown in File Info Tips on mouse hover."
or
"Now you can one-click jump to the target of a shortcut."
Can you give more informations please ?
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand new features in 6.80...
Re: I don't understand new features in 6.80...
Hey,
So if you've renamed the shortcut or forgot where it points to, you can always easily find out
Hope that helps a bit.
Means you can drop items on a shortcurt (*.lnk file). For example, if you have a shortcut to a folder on List or on your Catalog, dropping files on that shortcut will allow you to move/copy files into the destination folder.chrisge wrote:"Now you can drag-drop items onto shortcuts in List and Catalog."
If enabled (check Configuration|File Info Tips), on your file info tips you'll have, for shortcuts (*.lnk), their destination target shown along with all the other info (name, dates, attributes, etc)chrisge wrote:"Targets of shortcuts are shown in File Info Tips on mouse hover."
So if you've renamed the shortcut or forgot where it points to, you can always easily find out
Means that if you right-click on a shortcut, you'll find a "Go to Shortcut Target" command on the context menu that will allow you to jump to its target. For example, if you have a shortcut to some application (*.exe file) you'll be able to quickly go to the actual file easily using the context menu, or through the Misc command on CKSchrisge wrote:"Now you can one-click jump to the target of a shortcut."

Suggestion: In many cases, when a new feature is added, there is a thread somewhere that relates to it, and I believe that was true here, so you might want to check these forums to see, as by reading those threads, one can better see how the feature came about and what it does.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Re shortcuts lnk
I was wondering why a shortcut doesn't open up the file/application as a matter of course in the way explorer does? It's what I expected so was suprised that it doesn't work in that way.

Shortcuts not working
Hi.
It's very odd. I have created two shortcuts on my desktop. Both point to Excel files on my network. Within XY clicking one opens the application but clicking the other only opens the folder where the target file is. They both work fine from the desktop. I have checked some other situations and some lnk's work and some just go to the folder. Weird.....

Shortcuts (lnk) not navigating to the document
Thanks for the suggestion. v6.80 fixed the issue, thanks. Was this just a lucky guess or did you know it had already been fixed or did you put the fix in after my posting? I'm just curious how things get done at your end....
Many thanks for the prompt responses anyway. Impressive!
