A while ago I started a discussion about getting the TCMD "File Explorer" to recognize directory aliases. That doesn't work, because the explorer is really the Windows explorer. It was pointed out, however, that the TCMD View menu "Folder:" does accept directory aliases. This seemed to work for some people but not for me.
I have now figured out what the problem is. If a directory alias points directly to a full path, then it works. However, the example I showed where I entered
When I enter SME: instead, the File Explorer does change. That alias resolves in one step.
Rex, could the code for the View menu be augmented to use the full @TRUENAME-like behavior and fully resolve directory aliases?

DROPBOX: doesn't work because that alias is defined in terms of another alias:
Code:
>which dropbox:

1> "dropbox:" is a directory alias: UserJay:dropbox\
2> "UserJay:" is a directory alias: c:\users\jay\When I enter SME: instead, the File Explorer does change. That alias resolves in one step.
