Re: x-start-menu-icons doesn't install on a W2K german OS


I think I have half of a fix for this (will need it to be tested, the sooner the better). The script was using 'cygpath -A -P' to save the path to the icon folder in a shell variable. I figured it might be better to instead pass '-A -P' to mkshortcut directly, since it can handle those paths; this may avoid the problem entirely, but I won't know until someone tests it.

There will still be a remaining problem though: icon removal will still fail. See, mkshortcut doesn't remove shortcuts, and I don't think there is a utility in cygutils that does. So, those that are interested in this would either have to add a parameter to mkshortcut to have it remove a shortcut, or they would have to create a new utility based on mkshortcut (e.g. 'rmshortcut') that would facilitate removal of icons in non-US locales.

I'll be released X-start-menu-icons-1.1.0-1 shortly. Please test it and report as soon as possible.
