Run shortcut files created by Google Chrome failing. QM Bug?
Hi Gintaras
I've moved to a new PC and still have the problem that Quick Macros v2.4.12.2 does not launch Windows shortcut .LNK files created in Google Chrome.
In your test above did you create the shortcut in Chrome using: Chrome / Menu (three vertical dots at top right) / More tools / Create shortcut / tick "Open as Window" / Create ?
Note that the shortcuts created in Chrome also create a Windows App that appears in Windows / Settings / "Apps & features".
I can launch shortcuts created in Chrome using PowerShell "start" or cmd.exe /c.
When I try to launch them use QM "run" I get: Windows cannot find '<pathname>.lnk'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
I get this also if I use QM-run to run a batch file that starts the .LNK file
eg batch file contains: cmd.exe /c "J:\OneDrive\Desktop\Links\Messages for Web.lnk"
Thanks,
John
