when I type a name of command in the bar (file name and path that I set in variables file) and I press the enter, it doesn't work.. Its working only when I click on selected "link" (e.g. explorer) to that app
yea, it works when I click on link, but it doesn't when I typed a name and pressed enter. Examples: App1Name=Explorer App1Path=::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} -doesnt work App8Name=test App8Path:\Dokumenty\Media\BESTplayer.exe -my edition doesn't work, too.
App doesn't see the Variables file. If I delete "Variables", I still can type "firefox" or "chrome" in the box and the app still can open them.
The ABP skin [link] has the same kind of run box in the Search skin. So if it works there let me know, if it doesn't work there then the problem is somewhere else and not with my skin.
I'm sorry I'm having a really hard time understanding what you mean exactly.
What do you mean "App doesn't see Variables file"? and "Delete "Variables""? The skin should be seeing the variables file if you have any links there that work. Where and what are you deleting variables, in the skin ini, or in the variables.inc file? Are you blanking them empty or totally removing them?
You could change the Explorer's path to just "explorer" or "C:\Windows\explorer.exe" without the quotes.
Currently the input box will only run things that can be run with the windows run box (Win+R) so if it works there it should work in the skin.
I can't seem to reproduce the error, you should be able to type in any path (eg. C:\) and have the folder open, or any app path (eg. C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe)
I don't know if you are adding quotes "" or not but it won't work if you do, quotes are added around whatever is typed in the box or whatever path is entered in the variables.inc file.
forget about explorer, my fault, it works I have tried to completely remove the variables file to try open anything without that file. but forget about that, that was only a try. But look at my videos: [link] [link]
As You can see, I can't open my specified apps or folders. It's opening only regular apps that I can open in menu start, wrighting their name
Ohhh I think I see now. That is normal. The app "Name" you are setting is just for the text on the link, it does not make it a shell command. They dont run in the Win+R Run Box either i'm guessing. To do that I add the shell commands to windows.
As an example you make a batch file called AIMP3.bat with this in it:
@echo off start "C:\Program Files (x86)\AIMP3\AIMP3.exe" %1
Then you just copy that file to your C:\Windows\System32 directory and the filename (AIMP3) is now a shell command in windows that would work in the Run Box as well.
Its working but I had problem with cmd.exe window. It wasn't closing. I was searching and searching trying to fix that and I have found! The " is in wrong place. Batch file have to include: start C:\"Program Files (x86)\AIMP3\AIMP3.exe"
Examples:
App1Name=Explorer
App1Path=::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
-doesnt work
App8Name=test
App8Path
-my edition doesn't work, too.

You could make shortcuts to the folders, then link to the shortcuts in the skin.
(eg. D:\Documents\Shortcut.lnk)
Or you could even use the batch file again and put something like
@echo off
start "explorer" "D:\Documents"
