Well, you may have noticed that my registry entries look remarkably like what chere produces. I used "chere -i -p -c -t minty" to find my working solution (with the hoops). I built my "BASH shell here" context menu before "chere" existed. I based it on the "cmd shell here" powertoy. It started out being rxvt, but I converted it to minty when I learned of it.
My original version @="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\mintty.exe -" used to work, but now I have to use the "chere" version @="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe \"%L\"" The new version seems very long winded. I'm just trying to understand why the simple version no longer works. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > Behalf Of Matt Seitz (matseitz) > Sent: Monday, November 29, 2010 3:47 PM > Subject: Re: 1.7.7: Open BASH Shell Here goes to wrong location > > "Roe, Kevin L." wrote: > >I know Windows explorer is supposed to pass the location to minty, so > why do I need to jump through these hoops? > > I'm curious.
