I've tried all manner of command option permutations with 'chere' and can't get it to work -- as it has in the past.
Here's my latest attempt:
$ chere -i -a -n -e "Bitte Bash Bei" -t mintty -o \ "--icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 -" Shell defaulting to bash defined for lr
First, it doesn't work, so that when I right-click on a directory and select the 'chere' option, I get the following text box message:
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing thia action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.
Second, no matter what menu expression (argument to '-e'), I give it, it always ends up being:
"cygwin_bash"
Fortumately, 'chere -u' seems to work.
Notes:
1.
$ cygcheck -c chere Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status chere 1.1-1 OK
2. My Windows System PATH includes '/bin' in Windows format.
3. I always run the 'chere' command in an "as Administrator" window.
4. The above install command is only one of tens of option permutations I've tried, all chere-less-Lee.
Clearly, I have nothing to cheere about! ;-)
Clues?
I've always found 'chere -i' works for me. I'd also recommend getting rid of 'c:\_0\local\Scripts\test'.
Found: C:\_0\bin\test.exe Warning: C:\_0\local\Scripts\test hides C:\_0\bin\test.exe Found: C:\_0\bin\test.exe Warning: C:\_0\local\Scripts\test hides C:\_0\bin\test.exe Not Found: test
Someone is confused here. Based on cygcheck's and your conflicting statements, I can certainly say I am.
Larry, et al.,
As my initial message indicates 'chere -i', run as Administrator results in a non-working 'chere' install with the additional weird properties indicated.
Besides I want Mintty and Bash as the window, not the console.
I wasn't recommending 'chere -i' over your preferred configuration. I was just suggesting what I had success with in the past and that starting with the simple is usually a good way to troubleshoot problems.
Are you running Vista 64bit? If not, I suspect the registry keys set in Vista 64 are not correct as set by 'chere'.
