Strange signs / characters in FreeCommander.fav.ini?

#1 Post by Dirk » 20.07.2015, 13:15

When I tried to open a program clicking its favorite icon a message was shown, program cannot be found. In front of the program name a square (http://i.imgur.com/mnMaS03.png) was shown.

In FreeCommander.fav.ini I found this strange signs a few times in front of cSrcDrive%\: ⃄‹ (http://i.imgur.com/ffcVVWT.png and http://i.imgur.com/OBfiDQe.png)

Par=
DosFormat=0
IconNr=0
IconFile=⃄‹cSrcDrive%\

I assume these signs will effect FC negatively. How did that signs get into FreeCommander.fav.ini? And how could I avoid that?

May be you made copy/paste operations and some program (like Punto Switcher or some other similar) changed %FcSrcDrive% to ⃄‹cSrcDrive% (%F was changed to ⃄). Of course FC XE could not recognize it.

Thank you, Timon,

A good thought. What I could find about Punto Switcher sounds very Russian, but of what I could understand, it is a program to somehow control the keyboard layout, I do not use such a program or a similar one.

But may be some other program changed these signs without that I noticed it when pasting. So I guess, one will never find it out.

Many thanks again.
