1) In the registry entry:
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn 'Lucida Console-11' -geometry 80x48 -sl 300 -cr '#8b4513' -bg '#fffff0' -e /usr/bin/bash -c "XXX=\"%1\" bash --login -i"
2) In my .bash_profile
if [[ "x$XXX" != "x" ]] then cd "$XXX" unset XXX fi
This is a moderately embarassing/messy hack -- can anyone do better?
I use a similar scheme since the good old b20 days.
Just not with the XXX name and not with a subshell.
(I put the $PWD arg into a temp file in the cygwin.bat starter, which I pickup at .profile)
And not for the Explorer (which I don't use), but for a TotalCmd button. To open some shell like bash, rxvt, ksh, 4nt in the current dir (optinally specified by some dir arg).
A keyboard shortcut is also useful.
And I also apply a lot of path unification then, to shorten the windows path (where I use subst) to the optimal cygwin path (where I have symlinks)
.profile:
case $PWD in
/cygdrive/r/PERL* )
cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/PERL!/usr/src/perl!'`
;;
/cygdrive/r/gnu/cygwin* )
