Creating Shortcut w/ IS

Post by bob_the_builder » Sat Oct 08, 2005 8:36 am

Does this still work:
- Added Uplink command "MakeShortcut", used to make a desktop shortcut to a given profile. Syntax is as follows:
MakeShortcut <profile>
Example:
MakeShortcut "World of Warcraft Default Profile"
This can be done a little easier from within a session. Open a session using the profile you want to make a
shortcut for, then open the session console and type:
Uplink MakeShortcut "${Profile}"
If I type

Code: Select all

MakeShortcut "World of Warcraft Default Profile"
In the game it says "Unkown Command 'MakeShortcut'"

If I type

Code: Select all

Uplink MakeShortcut "$&#123;Profile&#125;"
In game it just does nothing...

If I type

Code: Select all

MakeShortcut "World of Warcraft Default Profile"
In the Console outside of game / just in IS... it says "Game 'World of Warcraft Default Profile' not found"

If I type

Code: Select all

MakeShortcut "World of Warcraft"
In the Console outside of game / just in IS... then IS crashes

My Profile name is >> World of Warcraft Default Profile

The syntax described is out of date. MakeShortcut has been changed:
- The uplink's Open and MakeShortcut commands are now updated, and require both a game name
AND profile name.
Typing only the name of the command will show the syntax in the console:
MakeShortcut

Code: Select all

Syntax&#58; MakeShortcut <game> <profile>
It is indeed an uplink command, and will not help to execute it from a session console without using Uplink :)

Thanks for reporting the crash with supplying too few parameters to the command, it is now fixed for whenever I post a new build today.
