[BUG: minor] renaming shortcuts & auto-select before fil

Post by billou31 »

I just noticed this cool feature: when renaming files, xplorer^2 selects the part of the filenaming coming before the extension. However, even with "show file extensions for known file types" turn on for Windows Explorer, .lnk files do not show extensions.  If you try to rename a shortcut with xplorer^2 it preselects the filename up until the last "." for you, but with shorcuts that is not the real extension, so the proper behavior would be to check for shortcuts and pre-select the entire filename.

Thanks for this great product!

edit: I'm using 1.4.0.1 LITE

this is sort of by design
you may use the "Real name" column if you want to see everything about shortcuts
