Metadata properties for linkfiles corrupted

[lxp]

Starting in Opus 13.22.1, metadata properties for linkfiles are corrupted.

For .url files, metadata.other.target_type returns an empty string.

For .lnk files, metadata.other is undefined or missing.

target_type will get corrected by turning on the column target, though not with 100% reliability. Fixing .lnk files takes a bit more fiddling.

To reproduce/demo, use this column:

function OnColumn(scriptColData) {
    var o = scriptColData.item.metadata.other;
    scriptColData.value = o ? o.target_type || '<none>' : '<no metadata>';
}

Set COLUMNSTOGGLE="scp:TargetType/TargetType(!,a,0)"

Thanks! That has been fixed for the next beta.

With Opus 13.22.9, the script column mentioned above now appears to work correctly most of the time. However, scripts that use target_type still fail quite frequently. I haven't found a reliable way to reproduce the issue, but here is a test script along with two examples:

var lst = DOpus.listers.lastactive;
var tab = lst.activetab;

for (var i = 0; i < tab.selected_files.count; i++) {
    var item = tab.selected_files(i);
    DOpus.Output('item:                            ' + item);
    DOpus.Output('item.metadata.other.target:      ' + item.metadata.other.target);
    DOpus.Output('item.metadata.other.target_type: ' + item.metadata.other.target_type);
    DOpus.Output('item.metadata.other.target_type: ' + (item.metadata.other.target_type == 'url'));
    DOpus.Output('');
}

Apologies! That should be fixed in the next beta.

Smooth sailing now with Opus 13.22.10
