Hello,
On my Cygwin system (XP) i have (probably like most of you) the following
commands: 1) readshortcut.exe, from the package cygutils-1.4.2 2) SHORTCUT.EXE, from %windir%/system32 (or equivalent) They are both consistent: in case of a `Target' that contains an environment variable, the variable is resolved, for example: % readshortcut -tfw X-Cygwin.bat.lnk Target: C:\Users\me\me\cygwin2010b\Cygwin.bat % /cygdrive/c/winnt/system32/SHORTCUT.EXE -u t X-Cygwin.bat.lnk Target: C:\Users\me\me\cygwin2010b\Cygwin.bat However, in the `Properties' of the Shortcut, i can read in the Target cell: `%myhome%\cygwin2010b\Cygwin.bat' I would have preferred readshortcut.exe to show this raw path, with the environment variable %myhome% still unresolved. So i went into cygutils-1.4.2/src/readshortcut/readshortcut.c and discovered that, if the last argument of GetPath() is set to `SLGP_RAWPATH' (this is ok), the value of SLGP_RAWPATH is obtained from `#include <shlobj.h>' (this is still ok), but it is redefined later with `#define SLGP_RAWPATH 0' (this is *not* ok, it should be 4). It seems that the intentions of the original writer were to print the raw path, but someone later changed that to be consistent with SHORTCUT.EXE (or due to some other reason). Please modify readshortcut.exe in order to be able to really print the raw path (e.g. with an extra option). Thanks in advance. Regards.
