Can't open to current directory in Cmder single instance mode #168

Closed mjbain10 closed 7 years ago

mjbain10 commented 7 years ago

I am currently using the parameters for Cmder for Windows specified in the readme.

"parameters": ["/START", "%CWD%"]

When I try to open Cmder from Sublime it works fine if I have no other Cmder window open. It opens to the CWD as expected. But when I try to open Cmder again (with another Cmder window already open) it does not open a new tab in Cmder. It only brings focus to the previously open Cmder window and does not change the directory.

As far as Cmder settings, I have reset them to default, and just turned on single instance mode. If I turn off single instance mode, and let Cmder open a new window each time, everything works as expected. But I would like this to work with multiple tabs in Cmder if possible.

Also, when using the right click > Open Cmder Here function in explorer, I don't have this same problem, and new tabs open to the correct directory.

I've reinstalled Cmder a dozen times and played around with settings and parameters with no luck. I also don't get any errors in the Sublime console so no idea where to go from here. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I believe we resolved the new tab functionality in #167. Can you try out these settings?

"parameters": ["/START", "%CWD%", "-new_console:a"]

Doesn't seem to work for me. I made sure I am running Sublime as administrator.

I actually did some experimenting with parameters such as -new_console, -Exit, -min, and no parameters are having any effect when launched from Sublime it seems.

What happens when you try to run Cmder.exe from a command prompt (i.e. environment similar to Sublime and not Cmder.exe itself)?

Cmder.exe /START some-directory

So I have the same issue when running Cmder.exe from cmd.

When I try to add any command line options like /START directly in cmd, I get an "unrecognized parameters" error. The only way I could get Cmder to open in a certain directory is by changing it in the Cmder settings menu, where you can set default commands. And even then I still have the problem where it isn't opening new tabs when i launch via cmd. I can only get the tabs to work via the right click in explorer option.

Looking like this is a cmder issue and not an issue with sublime terminal?

Yea, I think it looks like a Cmder issue as well. My suggestion for next steps is find out what command the explorer context menu is running and try to get that working in a command prompt

I'm going to pre-emptively close this issue as invalid

Any update from Cmder about fixing this?
