Do you work in a windows dominant environment? Are your network drives packed with Windows Shortcuts that point to directories and documents? Are you tired of starting a windows machine just to change your windows domain password? Do you want to copy path names to an email? Here is the answer: WinShortcutter!
WinShortcutter is a collection of small and usefull utilities that are primarily focused at people working in a windows dominant office environment with a weak Mac support.
Release 2.2 adds new features that were most requested by our users.
Easy to Use
WinShortcutter comes with a proper installer and works right out of the box.
Features
- Enhanced Mapping feature with arbitrary paths (including local paths).
- Clicking on a windows style shortcut (.lnk File) will follow the link. If the shortcut points to a folder, a new finder window will be opened, if the shortcut points to a file, the file will be loaded with the default application for the file. If the shortcut points to a file on the network, the corresponding drive will automatically be mounted, if needed.
- WinShortcutter Service: You can open a textual link sent to you by a windows user by using the service menu. With this release you can also use local directory strings (generated by the Context Menu of WinShortcutter for example).
- Context menu in Finder: The finder context menu has a new menu item to copy filename paths into the clipboard. You can then paste the text into an email.
- Windows Domain Passwords can be changed using the WinShortcutter System Preferences.
- Path Copy now also produces Paths with backslashes (\) for windows! This behavior is configurable in the System Preferences
- Support for CIFS drives.
- NEW: Alias can be generated with Command double-click, without activating in the System Preferences
- Improved System Preferences with Detail window that can be hidden
What's New in Version 2.2?
- Reworked System Preferences Panel. You can now hide the mapping feature.
- Mapping feature has been enhanced and extended to support arbitrary names and local paths.
- Service menu can now also handle local paths, as generated by the context menu. As a trade in, the menu now needs a correct selection of the string. Strings starting with something different than / or // are no more accepted.
- Alias can be generated with Command double-click, without activating in the System Preferences
