After copying a file to Clipboard it's possible to paste a Shortcut to this file by using the context menu-entry "Paste Shortcut".
The code of this entry is "Clipboard PASTESHORTCUT". This always adds the annoying addendum " - Shortcut" to the name.
I couldn't find a way to get rid of this addendum. I tried "Clipboard PASTESHORTCUT AS "{file|noext}.lnk" HERE" but it doesn't work although it's working when using "Clipboard copy MAKESHORTCUT AS "{file|noext}.lnk" HERE".
I really thought the PASTESHORTCUT (or PASTELINK which seems to be the same) Argument should work with the same Options as MAKESHORTCUT. Is there an easy way to get rid of the addendum?
I'm now using a dirty Workaround which renames the Shortcut after it's created. But this isn't always working because there is a timing problem although I'm using dopusrt.exe for this:
I've sent a Feature Request to GPSoftware to add a simple Option "Create Shortcuts without Addendum" to Preferences.
At the moment it's a pain to change this behaviour for all Buttons and contextmenu-actions in DOpus.
I can't believe many people could find this addendum useful. It's allways been one of the first easy tweaks I used after installing Windows for me. It should be easy to choose how I want to have it in DOpus too.
I've also sent a Feature Request to add a Modifier that tells Opus to wait until the first line is executed before doing the second line and to add a command like "Wait=100" to define a delay time before the next line is executed to the Button Editor to get around the timing problem I mentioned.
I saw this problem several times when creating Buttons and the use of dopusrt.exe is only working by chance. Most times some commandline-code or VB-Script is needed to get around this.
I really hoped Version 10 would offer such an option but couldn't find it.
You don't need to use dopusrt.exe at all, at least if you don't mind the button removing the unwanted addendum from other shortcuts in the same folder:
Thanks leo,
It's working better this way.
Nevertheless it would be much better to have an option like "Clipboard PASTELINK=noext,noaddendum" or make it just working with "...AS "{file|noext}.lnk" like it does with "Copy MAKESHORTCUT".
This would really make sense because I could also add a "dlgstring" with this if I want to give the Shortcut a completely different name (e.g. Shortcut to dopus.exe=>Directory Opus).
