Hello folks I have a questions regarding file paths, shortcuts and VC capabilities.
So to start off my purpose for asking these questions.
I have worked very hard over the last year to collect and create a list of applications that all can be ran off a usb stick. I have replaced almost all applications that require that they be installed on the system in order to work. The purpose is to have the freedom of being able to just bring a usb stick to any windows computer and have my entire tool set there and to eliminate clutter in the reg/hardrive. There are way to many time saving benefits and so forth to this kind of environment. Time is money and life is short. So.....
My question is can you launch a shortcut by it's name with VC verses the path the shortcut is taking to the file? So if I have let's say I have Vox and Chrome for example on a Usb drive Z. I have chrome in a portable apps folder and I have a shortcut for Chrome in the Vox folder. It would far easier to make a shortcut and just drop it in the Vox directory rather then create a command for every new program I have acquired.
Using a command in Vox looking kinda like this
Launch| {Path.VC}{1}So I could say
Open(phrase) followed
(shortcut name/payload) and vox would only have to search it's own directory for the
(shortcut name/payload) letting the shortcut do the work of finding the program on the drive on drive Z. This would make it simpler to create a launch command for new programs installed on that drive. All that would have to be done is creating the shortcut for new programs and droping them into the Vox directory.
BTW I have tried this setup already on my own but I can't get it to work. I even tried the select file in the command wizard with launch and it gives me the path and not the shortcut name.
So is this possible with Vox or does anyone have a suggestion/alternative solution?
In the meantime I am creating program in AutoHotkey to create a stand alone exe fast that acts like a shortcut so I could use it with Vox. Just in case that it is not possible.
Anyways thanks for your time.
Cheers!
