Shortcut filename.ext.lnk request

Help & Support
1

Requesting the option for the original file extension to be included in the shortcut name when created. An argument for the Clipboard PASTELINK command to make it possible or maybe the shortcut template drop down menu.

With the above addition and the following options enabled...

Preferences / File Display Columns / Filenames
Hide the .lnk extension for shortcuts
Preferences / File Display Columns / Icons
Show shortcut arrows and other icon overlays

You'd end up with shortcuts that appear like so.

shortcut_file_ext

This is already possible with the other types of links. I do backups to a linux based NAS that is not NTFS which is required for the other link types.

Preferences / File Operations / Options / Use template when creating shortcuts.

Set the template to:

=if (count==0) return name+ext; return name+ext+" ("+count+")";

Perfect, thanks! I had no idea the evaluator could be used as a template.
