2009-03-22 Thread Lee D.Rothstein
I figured out a solution, but it still has limitations. The solution: It just requires doing a cd into the path (complete directory path) of the argument, and cd'ing into that path. If the command operates on a directory as Explorer does, then you submit '.' as the argument. If the command requi

This is in all probability, not a bug. I suspect it falls into CGF's category of "works but isn't (wasn't) guaranteed." All of my scripts (developed under Cygwin 1.5 or earlier) that involve a Windows native app use: winapp "$(cygpath -w $something)" have stopped working "properly" since I ins
