[SOLVED] Cannot open a folder shortcut with "tab" command

[Leito]

I'd like to open a new tab from a shortcut (lnk) path.

Code: Select all

tab("new", "C:\Shortcuts\ProgramData.lnk");
tab("new", "C:\Shortcuts\ProgramData");

Both return "Location currently not available."

Is it actually supported? If not, could it be?

That's a wish.

Are you inclined to add this?

My use case is this: I use several folders paths in User-Defined Commands and scripts. For the sake of keeping those UDC / scripts portable, and to easily synchronize them between my different machines, I want to :

• Create shortcuts for those folders (that could point to a different path on each machine).
• Modify my UDC / scripts to call the shortcuts, and not the folders directly.

That way, when I want to synchronize my UDC / scripts on a machine, I only have to make sure the shortcuts are here, and I don't have to update my UDC / script anymore in case one folder path is different from the other machine.

(Can you move this to the Wishes section please?)

Okay.

    + SC tab: Now you can pass LNK files as new location (when the target is a 
      folder). The new tab will be opened at the LNK target. Example:
        tab("new", "C:\Shortcuts\ProgramData.lnk");

Thanks a lot!
