View Shortcut Target Folder on Custom Column

Hi again.
Enabling custom column I can select special property shortcut target.
· How could I see only the containing folder the .lnk points to, instead of the whole path?
· …or the parent’s parent folder either? Like “grand\parent” of a file?
· Is there a way to toggle left-right align?
TIA.

Use a custom column with a script...
Code: Select all
$linkTarget = property("#LinkTarget", "<cc_item>");
if ($linkTarget) {
$pathOnly = getpathcomponent($linkTarget, "path");
$parent = getpathcomponent($pathOnly, "component", -1);
$grand = getpathcomponent($pathOnly, "component", -2);
return "$grand\$parent";
}

My brother helped me to get it into a column, thanks much!
He also pointed me the way to left/right align the displayed info.

Is this report broken?
text report("{name}: {custom 16}<crlf>");
I get the names correctly but my custom column doesnt show. Replaced 16 by 1-20 just to ensure I'm not doing it wrong.

{custom <x>} doesn't work for me too...
You should post a bug report.

Yes, it may be broken. See this reported bug here (from just a couple of days ago)...
