On Windows (XP) I added an "External Tool" to the IDE with these settings:
Title: Open &Terminal
Program filename: cmd
Parameters:
/k
cd "$ProjPath()"
When it didn't work I tried changing "Program filename" to
* cmd.exe
* c:\windows|\system32\cmd.exe
It kept not working, so I changed "Parameters" to a single line:
/k cd "$ProjPath()",
tested with all three of the previous "Program filename" and still doesn't work. All it does (in any incarnation) is take the focus away of Lazarus.
Thinking it was something about cmd, I tried next adding "Open project folder" which calls
explorer.exe "$ProjPath()"
but it didn't work either.
Please, kind folks: what am I doing wrong?
BTW, environment is Lazarus 2.0.2 under Windows XP-SP3.
