Rename folder full of shortcuts
Hello,
I have a folder full of shortcuts which I would like to rename, but when I try to add them, AR opens where the shortcut leads to instead.
Is there a way to do what I want?
thnx.

Hello,
This appears to be a bug in version 4.21.
I *suspect* it might apply to all version 4s so far but I haven't downloaded those to check.
Link/shortcut renaming works for me with version 3.95 (portable). Download that to rename your shortcuts for now.

Hi Kath, Randy,
It's not a bug... Kim has made it clear that v 4.x no longer works on shortcuts/links, because somehow they could be problematic. I'm not sure how, as I used it in version 3.95, and still use that version when I want to work on links. I have 3.95 and 4.21 both installed on my system; it works great for me.
Best,
DF
