I frequently ping-pong back and forth between working in the Windows and Cygwin environments, needing to keep both Explorer windows and Cygwin PWD focused on the same folder/directory. (I use mintty in Cygwin.)
To open an Explorer window to my Cygwin PWD, I can simply type "cygstart .". The reverse is a clumsy bit of typing and mousing: From Cygwin/bash, enter "cd " (but not Return), go to my Explorer window and drag the folder icon from the address bar into the mintty window and press return. I'm looking for a simpler method. My ideal scenario is to right-click in the Explorer window, select the new Cygwin option that I'd like to appear, and this would open a mintty/bash window with PWD set to that Windows folder. Long shot, I know, but if anyone has done this and is willing to share I'd love to hear about it. BTW, I'm using Windows 7 and am current on Cygwin 64-bit. --Ken Nellis -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
