IDEA: Create shortcuts from a list

<< < (4/7) > >>

skrommel:
:) Here's a Gui version called Text2Shortcut.

It shows a little always on top window where you can drag and drop a text file containing lines of filenames. The shortcuts are placed on your desktop in the folder of the text file.

Save to Text2Shortcut.ahk, download and install AutoHotkey from www.autohotkey.com, run.

Here's one I've had in my toolkit forever called SLink.  I've attached it to this post.

skrommel, good script but as stated earlier.. i'd like to set the output (shortcuts) to be created in the current folder, i.e. the folder that the text file resides or at least, be able to configure the output folder.

skrommel:
 :tellme: Of course! Try the script now, lanux128!

cool script, skrommel but as usual, more suggestions.. ;)
• i want to be able to specify shortcuts names, like the script by thesteve.
• in case of no shortcut names, remove the '.exe' from created shortcuts. (see item.1)
• more customizeable drop-box. i.e. remembers location & size. (item.2)
• right-click on drop-box to choose new output path or at least show a input-box for copy/paste the output path.
