[Gnuplot-info] gnuhere.inf

[Tigran <ti...@us...>]

I have a gnuhere.inf file that will place a gnuplot prompt here menue when 
I right click on a directory. The menue item opens gnuplot and when I click 
on open it automatically opens in that directory where I right clicked.

This used to work with an old version of gnuplot (not sure which version) 
it doesn't work with latest version of gnuplot.

anybody know how to fix it?

At least tell use which version that "latest" one is --- CVS (of which 
day?), or release 4.0?

I don't think so.  I don't know where you got this, nor do I understand 
what it does, but this part:

> HKCR,Directory\Shell\GnuHere\command,,,"%10%\command.com /k cd ""%1"""
> HKCR,Directory\Shell\GnuHere\command,,,"%10%\wgnuplot.exe

looks quite suspicious.  It seems to suggest that command.com and 
wgnuplot.exe are expected to be in the same directory.  That's quite 
certainly the wrong plan, even on Win9x.

That's right that part is messed up. I modified the registry manually to 
point to the correct path for wgnuplot.exe. It works to a point. When I 
right click on a directory and select Gnuplot here gnuplot opens. the pwd 
command shows the directory I right clicked in but clicking on Open button 
doesn't open in the directory I right clicked in. It opens in the last 
directory I saved something in.

I'm not sure there's anything to be done about that.  That's default
Windows behaviour, decided not by us, but by Microsoft.

I see,  thanks for looking into it.
