Start in parameter
« on: January 22, 2010, 08:59 AM »
When I drag a shortcut into CD I lose the start in parameter from the shortcut. Any way to enter this into CD ?

Do you mean the "working directory", also known as "start-in folder"? If so, this is currently not stored or used by Circle Dock. When executing a program, it tells Windows to use the program's folder. Do you have a need to specify a folder other than that?

I really need that. I'm using a development environment were my executable is in a default directory but depending on the project I need to start in another project folder.

I'll try to see whether I can change my default directory after I started my application.

Ah okay. It'll be added for the next release.

Additional note here:
This may help to over come the installed on D:/ and not running application in G:/ (???)
This was a common problem going back  the original designer's build.

Although I promised to try and see what happens, and do a report...I have yet had the appropriate time.

I have a couple of projects to finish today and tomorrow, and I will do a few remote HDD installs and see what I get.....I hope
