Apparent bugs - newbie

<< < (2/2)

mouser:
yep, its just the fact that there are urls that is confusing its display of multiple group alias contents.
will be fixed in next version, due out monday i expect.

jdmarch:
Another bug: F&R does not respect the "Start In" directory in shortcut files. In some cases, this can mean that the program simply won't run.

I might have seen some discussion about allowing F&R to configure whether a window should be maximized when started? Since that's already part of the shortcut file, why re-invent the wheel?

And a small suggestion: Direct links in Help menu to the website and especially to this forum (rather than through the About submenu.)

Thanks!

mouser:
the start in directory SHOULD be respected - there are a bunch of tricky little issues with this but it seems it needs another pass of tweaking, i will have it fixed in this weeks release.  can you make a note of the short cut that does this so you can retest it with the new release?

yes i will add links on all the help pages good idea.

mouser:
i found the problem relating to start in dir, a fix will be up later today.

for anyone wondering why this bug would still be in the code after many version, read through some of the other threads in the section about the oddities of launching certain files like ms excel files.

there are some very odd cases that F&R tries to handle smartly; this means that sometimes F&R launches a shortcut directly, somtimes it reads the target of a shortcut and launches the app directly, and sometimes it hands off the job of launching the shortcut target to a tiny little helper utility whose only job is to launch an app without slowing down the main program :)

anyway, fix will be up later tonight, just going to try to fix the other bugs in this thread first..
