bug? LBC fails to set starting directory
« on: July 16, 2012, 05:53 PM »
A shortcut placed on a LBC dock behaves differently from the same shortcut placed on my desktop.
The key is that LBC is not setting the "Starts in" properly, as coded in the link. In each case below the Starts in is coded: %USERPROFILE%\publishing\RW (as shown in the Properties of the lnk file). The shortcut invokes a Rexx script that executes the DIR command to show the starting directory.

Running the DIR command from outside LBC shows that the starting directory is properly set. Running from a LBC dock, the starting directory is set to C:\Program Files (x86)\LaunchBarCommander. This causes my application to fail.

Yes, I could change the script to set the directory, but I have hundreds of these, and I think LBC should do its job properly.

Using LBC 1.132.01
Windows 7, 64-bit

I'll check and fix; I want to release an LBC update this week so this is just one more thing to fix for it.  :up:
