Problem with running shortcuts
Problem with running shortcuts
Latest version of XY (.0122) has problems with running shortcuts to programs. They just do not run.
Re: Problem with running shortcuts
My 0122 runs programs from their shortcuts just fine so maybe you should be a bit more specific?

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
Yes. I have in mind shortcuts to programs with their customized file associations in Menu Tools. Few days ago it worked OK, now it doesn't.

Then post such definitions that don't work? oO

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
bms><xydrive>\Z\Programs\Backup Magic\BMagic.exe
This is my line from Custom Files Associations Editor. It should run any and all shortcuts with extension .bms. Until recently, this worked without a flaw for years. Now they suddenly do not run. Nothing happens, just XY button on the taskbar flashes once...

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
Now I realized that it doesn't work even when I disable this customized association. But when running a .bms file directly, then it works OK. Just when running a shortcut to it is when it fails. I guess the problem is not with XY. But where is it then? I'm on Win11 Ent x64 22H2. Any idea anybody?
Re: Problem with running shortcuts
So it probably is connected with XY. When I run these shortcuts in Explorer, they work OK...
Adding later: restarting PC didn't help.

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
Let me guess, the shortcut points to some path in
Change it to
%ProgramFiles%
?Change it to
%ProgramW6432%

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
No, it points to C:\Z\Programs\Backup Magic
This has worked for years, I did not change anything recently.
It all worked perfectly some 2-3 days ago...

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
Then downgrade to the older versions from the last few dates and find the last working one: viewtopic.php?t=4&start=6105

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
I guess I'll use my Macrium Reflect system drive backups to create virtual C drives of a few days back. But I'm travelling now, so I'll come back to this later.
Re: Problem with running shortcuts
OK, I managed to determine which version started to cause problems:
v .0110 still worked OK
starting with v .0111 the problem started. Something must have been done in v .0111 that causes problem with running some file shortcuts from XY.
I hope this helps to determine the problem.

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
This is not a shortcut. I'm confused. What do you mean when you say shortcut?selukwe wrote: ↑13 Sep 2023 13:07 bms><xydrive>\Z\Programs\Backup Magic\BMagic.exe

Probably a shortcut to a .bms file...

Re: Problem with running shortcuts
So the same shortcuts work in v24.90.0110 - 2023-09-06 19:15 but now no longer? With the same configuration? I checked the code and cannot see any changes related to this during the last week. I've been working on the glider 100%.
