Latest Version and problems with Shortcuts

$
0

The latest Thinapp version seems to have problems with the shortcut= option.

 

All my applications are build like this:

(Sorry, but the editor changed all the application definitions to httplinks)

 

app.exe   

 

  • system \ appname \ sandbox \ (sandboxfiles)

  • system \ appname \ main\ datacontainer.dat

  • system \ appname \ tools \ tool.exe

 

And a typical package.ini would look like this:

 

http://appname.dat

ReadOnlyData=bin\Package.ro.tvr

Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\AppDir\somestub.dll            

 

http://appnameMain.exe

Shortcut=system\appname\main\datacontainer.dat

Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\AppDir\application.exe

 

http://tool.exe

Shortcut=..\main\datacontainer.dat

Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\AppDir\smalltool.exe

 

This worked smoothly with 4.0.0.200, but does not seem to work with the latest version anymore: Right now I got this message:

 

"Target http://MailShot.exe has 'Shortcut=system\mailshot\mailshot.dat' entry, however Target system\mailshot\mailshot.dat does not exist or is not data container because it does not have a ReadOnlyData= setting

 

My ReadOnlyData= setting is like always. So how can I solve that problem?

 

Pugins which were linked like this ;OptionalAppLinks=..\system.plugins\*.exe are now crashing the app.

 

I always used the shortcuts to seperate the main executables from tools and other stuff. These are always somewhere in the subdirectories.

 

Also I used a small stub.dll as a source to my maincontainer which also provokes an error now.

Well of course replacing my stub.dll with a stub.exe does the trick, but why the change?

 

Not being able to use relative back paths anymore when applinking or defining a shortcut

would be a real pain and a timetravel back to the cluttered all on one directory times.

Alan
