• Folder error

  zvi_t > 2020-09-20 21:49

  I have an issue with one folder only (getcrayolex). Let me explain:
  
  There are two ways I open folders via QAP:
  
  

  1. middle-mouse-click INSIDE an open windows expolorer window and choosing my desired folder.
     
  2. middle-mouse-click OUTSIDE an open windows expolorer window and choosing my desired folder.
     

  The first will navigate the current explorer window to the new folder location.
  The later will open a new explorer window/tab with my selected folder.
  
  My issue is only with num 2, and only with one specific folder:
  
  
  
  Here are the folders on the computer and in QAP:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  As you can see in the error, it has a problem with "param WP"
  But I don't understand what's causing the error because there is another folder with the same WP in the folder name that does NOT have this issue (crayolex.co WP)
  Also, if there was a problem with the path, how is it working when I middle-mouse-click INSIDE a windows explorer?
  
  I have tried deleting and recreating the folder.
  I have tried to manually add the path.
  
  What can be causing this?
  
  Thanks.

  Hi,
  
  Maybe this is because the .COM makes QAP think it is an executable (because of the old extension .COM). But I could not reproduce this error by creating a similar folder ("J:\Temp\WEBSITE QAP.COM WP"). I'll need to check in the code. I'm in the middle of something else but I'll be back on this later, probably tomorrow. Just as a quick solution/test, if you could rename the folder to "WEBSITE GETCRAYOLEX.COM-WP" or "WEBSITE GETCRAYOLEX COM WP", would it work?

  Yes, removing the "." fixed it. It's now understandable that it thought .com was the end of the navigation string and "WP" was a filename parameter that it was trying to open.
  What I don't understand is why it worked when clicking INSIDE an explorer window.
  
  I wanted to look at the code myself (downloaded the source code from GitHub) but the code in the error message was not at line 17544.
  Even searching the entire file (and all other files) for the error string (Run,this.aaTemp.strFullLocation) did not find it. Just curious where that code is.

  QAP uses different techniques to change the folder inside an active Explorer windows vs to open a folder in new Explorer window. The issue you are facing is specific to the use of the "Run" command used to open a new Explorer window. Do you get an error if you enter this folder path in the Windows Run dialog box (Windows + R)?

  I reviewed the QAP code around this (see line 28165) and still cannot explain this error message that I do not get on my system even with a path identical to yours ("C:\MY OFFICE\CRAYOLEX\BRANDING\WEBSITE GETCRAYOLEX.COM WP"). Just to be sure, there is nothing in the favorite's "Advanced Settings" tab? Another test would be to launch this favorite just after restarting QAP to see if get the error?

  Put back the folder name to [.com WP] and did some tests; interesting results.
  
  1. I do not get an error when using the Windows Run dialog; the folder opens fine.
  2. Nothing is set in the favorite's "Advanced Settings" tab.
  3. I get the same error even after I launch this favorite just after restarting QAP.
  4. I created a simple ahk script and ran it:
  
  #s::
  Run, "H:\MY OFFICE\CRAYOLEX\BRANDING\WEBSITE GETCRAYOLEX.COM WP"
  return
  
  but do NOT get any errors when opening the path with the [WIN]s shortcut; window opens fine.
  
  Anyway, since removing the "." from the folder name solves the issue, I think I'll just leave it like that.
  
  I'd be happy to do some more testing for you if it would help you.
  
  Thank you.
