Context menu of two selected files passes wrong parameters

Post by tobias »

If two files of the same file name but different paths are selected and "Send To" is called in the context menu the same full file name (file name including path) is passed as first and second parameter. Actually, they should be different.

E.g. create a batch file with the following content and register it for "Send To"

@echo off
rem start
echo %1
echo %2
pause
rem end

The same full file name will be output for %1 and %2. Actually, they should be different.

I noticed the problem when using the "Diff" context menu of TortoiseSVN which can be used to compare two arbitrary files (independent if they are under version control or not).

Currently using 1.2.375 on Windows XP, SP 3

I'd like to see this fixed. If more information is needed to reproduce this, I'll try to help.

I am aware of the issue with the context menu and items in different paths.

Fixing this is on my "Things to do" list.
