[question] Default applet (ash) ?

[naksyl]

Why busybox does not have default applet? Am I missing something here?

Recently I download a few prerealese versions. It could be a handy feature to double click busybox*.exe from explorer or browser downloads and go straight to the shell

edit: oh busybox is default, run after exe name. Closing

If you copy (or link) the binary to sh.exe double clicking on that will start a shell.

However, since the shell gets no arguments it doesn't behave as a login shell. This means:

• it doesn't switch to the user's home directory
• it doesn't run any profile scripts

I've added lash as an alias for ash. If the binary is copied to lash.exe double clicking it will start a login shell. (Commit 2af141a2c069c56d56f110414f600f3a38ad8617)

This doesn't really help with your collection of prerelease binaries. busybox_version_string.exe will happily work as BusyBox but sh_version_string.exe won't do anything very interesting.
