I'm fairly new to this list, so hopefully I'm not asking a stoopid
questiont that's been asked and answered recently...
Opening a shell is nice, now how about drag-and-drop paths? Is there a
semi-convenient way to drag a file out of Explorer and drop it into a
bash window? The default behavior is to have paths like "D:\temp\file.txt"
which bash (of course) interprets as "D:tempfile.txt" or worse since the
backslashes are not seen as directory separators. It should be seen as
"//d/temp/file.txt", right?
This same thing is a problem when trying to use utilities like diff from a
(NT) command shell, or double-clicking on an icon that's supposed to start
a script, or dragging a file onto an icon. Anything with file names as arguments.
