CMD doesn't offer a way to distinguish between file and directory, but we have test. @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL SET CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning "%~dp0\test.exe" -f "%~f1" ENDLOCAL IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ( SET DEST=%~f1 ) ELSE ( SET DEST=%~dp1 ) START "" /D "%DEST%" "%~dp0\mintty.exe" > Second, my version runs a login shell which sets up the environment > correctly, e.g., puts /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin: at the head of PATH. I already have environment correctly set at login. It's not like i'm logging into random directories across my filesystem over and over again. I just start a shell where I need it. > Just telling mintty to run a login shell isn't sufficient, however, > because that also sets the current directory to your home directory, > so you then need to cd to the target directory with the target path > translated to Unix form. That's why I don't start another login shell. It's inefficient.
