30th August 2006, 09:16 AM
I was tired of making shortcuts by manual editing, so I made this editor.
The program requires .NET Compact Framework 1 and it was tested on a HTC Magician with WM 2003SE and HTC Polaris with WM6. It has been reported to work on HTC Wizard with WM 2005. Please, feel free to post your experience with different device and operative systems.

I tried it on my wizard - wm5 and the app would start but soon as i made any selection an error would come up. see jpg
Nice idea - would like to see working - i am fed up too of manual creation of shortcuts as i forget the syntax :wink:

Hi oruam57 for simple shortcuts program works fine.
More complex shortcuts e.g.
''\Program files\omapclock\omapclock.exe'' -clock 240 -launch ''\storage card\program files\TCPMP\player.exe'' -restore
your program when editing same lnk just shows ''\Program files\omapclock\omapclock.exe'' -clock 240 -launch in target path / parameters
the last section is missed out - i guess a bug?
even when i add last section manually it will not save it.
look forward to comments\update

Good. The parameters can be as long as you like (at least in theory), the problem you found was due to a parsing bug, not to a length limit.
Redowload the current version, the icon browser is there (not fast but working).

Thanks for the update - where is the bak file stored? I cant find it.
The backup is created only if you open an existing shortcut and it is saved in the same directory of the original with name <original name>.bak.lnk
Moreover, only the original is kept, that is if you open x.lnk, modify it and save, x.lnk contains the new shortcut and x.bak.lnk the original ones. From then on x.bak.lnk is not overwritten and when you are satisfied with x.lnk you should manually delete x.bak.lnk
Hope I was clear enough, English is not my mother tongue.

I'm on the minimalist side: no feature/code if not really required. I will put something in the readme of the install pack.
By the way, I made the editor because I, as an heavy shortcut user, really miss it and I expected that many people had the same problem. From the small number of download it seems not so.
Maybe MS was right (as usual) in not including one in Windows Mobile.

It works well!! :D
When I coded my one I seemed to run into trouble when using icons within dll's not under the root or windows directory but using your program there seems to be no problem. My syntax is the same so I will take another look at why that could happen.
I like your browser dialog, I timed it to open the windows directory and it comes to 7-8 seconds, the same with me. Are you using an ownerdrawn list or some other method to minimze that time. Resco and windows file explorer take 2-4 seconds and I was wondering if you had any insite as to other time saving methods for drawing big lists.
A progres bar would be a nice addon. The command line arguments work fine for me. One problem I think is in the finding of shortcut path/name. When browsing for an existing lnk file it would be good to have the option from the context menu to create a new file the name desired.
I use a lot of old devices and needing the compact framework stops it from being useful there but on my xdaIImini it goes no problems. Did you use c# to do the lists. If that is the case I would be wondering why microsoft can't achive a faster speed considering they claim the compact framework is as fast or faster for those kind of things.

Can't say much. For the file dialogs (open file and browser) I used some assemblies from Mikio Fukushima (see in the readme) that made an outstanding work. Unfortunately, its page (http://smart-pda.net/develop2+index.id+2.htm) is in Japanese, old and very terse.
A progres bar would be a nice addon.
Yup, but given that the Compact Framework 1 does not support API callbacks coding the icon browser quite exausted me. We'll see...
One problem I think is in the finding of shortcut path/name. When browsing for an existing lnk file it would be good to have the option from the context menu to create a new file the name desired..
Can't see the problem. If you use the browser from the "*" button you select the directory and then write the name of the new shortcut, if you use the file dialog you select an existing lnk and then change the name to the one of the new shortcut.
Did you use c# to do the lists.
Mikio Fukushima probably used C#, for my code I used Delphi for .NET
the compact framework is as fast or faster for those kind of things.
Compact Framework sits on top of a bunch of P/Invoke to the native APIs. I would not see how it can be faster than them.
OdeeanRDeathshead
2nd September 2006, 03:07 PM
I am not saying the CF is faster, I remember reading it several times on those MSblogs. I do not like it for ppc. Desktop has some large advantages, especially over the internet but cf is too much overhead for too little return.
The new option is not a neccesity. The user could live without it. I just expected to see it and when it was not there pressed cancel to go back and enter a name. A good friend of mine is always stopping me and giving me that kind of critism - give people what they expect and they will be more willing to use something. Having said that it is a very minor point and I think your app is great :D .
With the progres bar, it would be good to show some activity. Perhaps you could periodically update the title text to show the program is still alive like the old animation -/|\ to show working.

It seems something related to string resource loading. Was the file FileDialog.resources.dll correctely installed toghether with the other files (ShortcutCreator.exe, GetFileInfo.dll and FileDialog.dll)? What language is your device using? English or something else?

4th September 2006, 12:06 AM
Regarding the language, "english or something else?" its german
We have a real problem here. The free components I used for the dialogs provide resources for English and Japanese only. Under the .NET Desktop Framework it is possible to set the culture of a running program but to my knowledge this is not an option for Compact Framework. Here we are stuck with the culture inherited from the OS ('de' in you case).
I use WWE in English
This is stranger, maybe even if you use WWE, somewhat the culture was set to something other.
I will do some more research but I am not very optimistic, if someone knows better please give me advice.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have an experimental resource file that might appear to be in German (even if it is not) and satisfy the culture loading rules. To use it do this
1 - Install Shortcut Creator as in readme
2 - In the directory where ShortcutCreator.exe and the other files are
create a subdirectory named de
3 - Extract the FileDialog.resources.dll from the attachment to this message and copy it under the de subdirectory

Congratulations :D now it works fine !!
There is still a minor one :
opening a DLL in "portrait"-mode the prog shows only a limited number of icons and no way scrolling through it (no scrollbars at all).
Changing to "landscape"-mode everything works fine.

This shortcut editor works very well on my WM2003 device. I like the file/folder browsers and also the icon browser. They are very nicely done, although a bit slow but it does not bother me.
I have a few suggestions:
1) Include a 16x16 icon. Currently, the small icon is cropped off and looks weird, especially if placed on today screen.
2) How about allowing to create new shortcut rather than just edit?

That's strange, on my device (see attachments) they do not look bad, both at 16x16 and 32x32.
How about allowing to create new shortcut rather than just edit?
You can already create new shortcuts in two ways.
1) Using the "*" button select the directory where to put the new shortcut, then write down the name of it, fill the other fields (the target at least) and save it.
2) Using the "..." open an existing shortcut, then change the directory (by writing it down or by using the "*" button) or the name (by writing it down) and save it.

Weird. I tried the EXE file in the ZIP and also the CAB. I used an Icon browser on the desktop and the EXE file only contains one 32x32 icon. On my Pocket PC, the small icon also appears cropped, which is expected since the 16x16 icon is not available.
OdeeanRDeathshead
6th September 2006, 04:39 PM
It comes down to how the icons are drawn. If it was with DrawIconEx the outcome seems to vary if you do not specify the size. Newer os draw the 32x32 smaller to fit into the 16x16 but older os just crop it. If the code that draws it specifies 16x16 but the icon is 32x32 it fails, but if the dimensions are not specified it draws it bigger. My 2003 devices don't crop but squash it all in so what are you using to display those icons?

I'm talking about ShortcutCreator.exe rather than shortcuts. The icon is cropped no matter where I see it, be it the native file explorer, Resco Explorer or Spb Pocket Plus. I used IconCool on the desktop and this software displays all the available icons in the available sizes. IconCool only shows one icon in ShortcutCreator.exe. This is probably because the developer only included a 32x32 icon in the project.

Here's a screenshot of how the program icon looks like in WM2003.
As my display is different (see below) it seems you use an older version OS that does not scale down the 32x32 icon. In a future release I will insert the 16x16 icon too. For the time beeing you can use Shortcut Creator to create a shortcut that points to ShortcutCreator.exe but uses an icon that suit you (see the sample below)

Well, the startup time is longer (due to cached info loading) and without a splash screen the startup display would have not been good.
could cpl (control panel applet) be added to exe, dll as an extension for browsing for icon source?
You can already browse cpl or whatever kind of file, simply select All files (*.*) as type filter in the file dialog.
Unfortunately, most of the cpl, as some system dll, do contains icon resources but in a format that I was not able to load using compact framework with consistent results (sometimes I could load something that if put in the shortcut would have not been shown, sometimes I found shortcut referring to something I could not load at all).
Therefore, I decided to show only what can be loaded with the LoadIcon API. If someone knows better...

oruam57,
Thanx for this great prog. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I'm using it primarily to change icons. For example:
1) I made a shortcut to launch my camera via omapclock set at 264, but the icon would be the omapclock.
2) I used VJVolubilis to create a shortcut to toggle my bluetooth and used it at traylaunch. The icon would be the VJVolubilis icon
With your program, I can change my shortcuts to show the relevant icons.
Thanx!

Hi,
first of all congratulations for this great app. Just one downside on my device (iPAQ hx2490 WM5.0 german) the icons are looking strange in normal file dialog and after browsing the files. It seems that they appear with inverted colors (negativ-black is white, green is pink ...)
Any idea? Thanks
Carsten.

My Activesync over bluetooth is working like a charm through the shortcut in the Bluetooth Manager (BT Manager).
Does anyone know if there's a way i can use this program to create a shortcut to the BT Manager Shortcuts ... specifically the Activiesync shortcut?
I'm currently using Ilauncher and once I've created a shortcut lnk, I can place that BT shortcut on my Today screen.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey,
first of all let me say that this seems to be a great application. Creating shortcuts in my opinion is one of the things that is really missing in WM6.
I downloaded the application, but when i started using it alle the text kinda went away, which made it impssoble to porceed.
I already learned in this topic that it has to do with the language, as i saw with the german language.
Is it possible to create another resource file for Dutch? I have a HTC Tytn II with Windows Mobile 6 NL.
I would be really pleased to get this working.

I have the same problem! This is the case when your device language is not English. In the readme you can find instructions how to fix this. Copy the reources file for your language to the install directory and it should work.
However, there's no file for Dutch
Anyone can help me with that?

I was having the problem on WM6 as well. What I just did was to create a "en" folder and dumped "FileDialog.resources.dll" there. Surprisingly, it works!
Same here on HTC TC. Followed quoted instructions and it works. Thanks!

Now that I have a WM6 device I updated the CAB file to solve the installation problems on WM5 and WM6 (the missing "en" directory).
About the icon color "inversion" problem on WM5 and WM6 I do not really known where the problem is. If someone can help...

i've reinstalled from new cab but still no success. I have ok first screen, but only squares on others dialogs (even in menus there).
I suspect sth. with regional settings is wrong. My regional settings are set to PL (Poland). I use WM6.1.

Unfortunately, the dialog assemblies that I used (and that I can not modify) only have resources for English, Italian, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese language. Maybe you can try to create a PL directory and copy there the English or German FileDialog.resources.dll but I am not very confident about the result.

I use shortcut creator in WM6 with Chinese Language. Shortcut Creator shows English and Japanese in different menu. That is not a major problem as most of the cases it show english.
The major problem is that it can't read or save target program directory in Chinese characters correctly. (Currently, I need to create an directory in english and copy target programs to that directory in order to by pass the problem). Hope this can be fixed in the next version.

slick.
thanks.
only glitch I could see was in browsing for files, that it seemed to think my window should be wider than it is, and I had to keep using a scroll bar on the screen itself...
Ever thought about making it into a windows app, that you could edit the shortcuts from windows, via the sync?

hi:
there are things i want shortcuts for. i cant find any "exe" for them.
for example, i want a softset shortcut.
where do i find the path or whatever--how do i make a shortcut for that?
i ran a search thru the "find" option on the "Tilt" (WM6.1.. L26 V 9) ; came up -0-.. that tool is weak.
thanx

How to create shortcut to "remove programs"

This is an awesome program! I have a direct link to gmail in esmertec java and I don't like the icon of "e" at all. This tool allowed me to use a real mail icon for that and it's perfect on wm6.1.
Thanks!

I've been using that file explorer application to create shortcuts. You just right click on the file, click create shortcut in programs and poof...done.

Thanks for this useful software.
(I find it easier than SKShortcut Manager.)
Can someone list down most of the dlls or hidden places where the icons are stored please? I'm using WM6.1 and I'd like to point to some of the icons that are listed when using some SPB products like the 2 different places that Pocket Plus and Mobile Shell point to as icon changing options.
Corpsegrinder: Does that program allow you to change the actual icons for any other ones? Creating icons is easy - for me changing it to another picture (icon) is not so, without software like this and knowing where the icon source originates.
