BUG: Can't launch results that end in space

(1/4) > >>

justice:
I'm sure this came up before, but FARR is unable to launch Windows Live Messenger. It runs the shortcut in my start menu, but when I run it with farr (it does come up in the results), nothing happens. Whether I have "always launch shortcuts directly instead of resolving links" selected (current) or not does not have any effect. Ah I see by default WLM shortcut has a space as the last character: "Windows Live Messenger ". When I remove that, FARR launches it.

Find+Run Robot v2.00.145
latest windows live messenger (filehippo.com)

I'm sure it did come up, but it's not in the official bugslist, and windows live messenger is quite a popular program.

mouser:
why on god's earth is there a space at the end of that file name?

justice:
it's not at the end of the filename but the name of the shortcut, i'll include a screenshot:

Google doesn't enlighten me to why this is, but donationcoder seems to crop up for often on my search results :D

Armando:
Yep, I noticed that at some point. See : https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=10505.msg82218#msg82218 , and https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=10505.msg83655#msg83655 .

all because of a space?!?  ;D ;D ;D seriously, i've been tearing my hair out because Farr wouldn't open a AHK script. i've been poking file association settings in the registry. and by chance i found this thread, i'm totally relieved. thanks justice for discovering this anomaly.. :up:
