GitPad doesn't work from an elevated command prompt #23

Closed BrainSlugs83 closed 9 years ago

BrainSlugs83 commented 9 years ago

When attempting to perform a "git commit" operation, it fails with the following message:

---------------------------
App is Elevated
---------------------------
Run this application as a normal user (not as Elevated Administrator)
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

I didn't launch the command session as an administrator (and it doesn't say "- Administrator" in the title), but it still says this, so that's got to be a bug. Not sure what else to try here.

Additionally: why should it matter? (normally, I would like to run my command sessions as an administrator.) -- I guess this is more of a feature request: please remove this requirement. (I'm pretty sure in the past I've used GitPad from an administrative command prompt.)

I usually make the following two settings changes on a new machine -- I had not yet made them on this machine -- once I made the following two setup changes the issue goes away. But still very odd.

  1. Win+R always run as administrator
  2. Link Administrator Profile with Regular Profile

Running windows 8.1.
