I am trying to launch instances of Console 2.00b145 [1] from my Cygwin
bash shell. I am using Console's -d switch to specify the startup
directory. The following works:
$ "/cygdrive/d/Software/Console2/Console.exe" -d "C:/Program Files"
As does this:
$ "D:/Software/Console2/Console.exe" -d "C:/Program Files"
However, I need to run Console using the cygstart command. The following
works and a Console window opens at "C:\Users":
$ cygstart "D:/Software/Console2/Console.exe" -d "C:/Users"
The thing is, if there is a space in the path after the -d switch, the
argument doesn't work correctly:
$ cygstart "D:/Software/Console2/Console.exe" -d "C:/Program Files"
$ cygstart "/cygdrive/d/Software/Console2/Console.exe" -d "C:/Program Files"
Neither of those will yield a Console at the correct directory; instead,
Console defaults to its installed location.
Is this an issue with cygstart, or should I be looking at Console itself
as the culprit here?
Many thanks,
Charles
