FileSelectFile & Shortcuts & Windows 10
Posted: 03 Mar 2019, 07:32
[Moderator's note: Topic moved from Bug Reports.]
Hi there,
Not a bug report, but more of an observation on the way the Shell handles the file dialogs in the latest editions of Windows:
Create a shortcut to Notepad: as per attached:
Open the dialog and select the lnk file, and there is no more navigation into the folder via the folder shortcut.
Worth noting, that in removing *.lnk from the filter, the link still shows in the dialog for :
... regardless of what is in nOptions or whether the *.exe filter is present or not.
It used to work, but unable to recollect from what epoch.
No big deal, as what V2 is offering will be an improvement.
Thanks for reading!
Edit: The CLSIDS (e.g. Start Menu Folder, My Computer) don't seem to work either in FileSelectFile as they do in the Run command.
Built-ins like A_StartMenu and A_ProgramsCommon still work with FileSelectFile.
The online documentation is marking a change in parameters for the next release:
