RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Tackett, Galen]

I must be missing something.

I added the registry entries plus the profile entries, both for
/etc/.profile and ~/.profile.

Now, the right-button menu command "Open with command prompt" works just
wonderfully (if the resulting cmd.exe window can actually be described with
that word), but "Open with Cygwin shell (rxvt)" just gets me an error window
showing (in the title bar) the path of the folder I tried to use, and the
error message "This file does not have a program associated with it for
performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control
panel."

(By the way, when John's message says .profile I assume he means
.bash_profile since the registry mods invoke bash?  Out of sheer ignorance
(I'm not a unix or shell weenie at all) I just added the .profile stuff to
both files.)

Galen,

It should be /etc/profile (note the absense of ".") and ~/.bash_profile.
I think ~/.profile is used by ksh...

For login shells, bash will fall back to ~/.profile if ~/.bash_profile and
~/.bash_login aren't present; they shouldn't have to be specifically
mentioned.

I gleaned what I think are the best command lines from the extensive
discussion on this list about 6 months ago.  I have posted the .reg file I
use to install them at http://home.ix.netcom.com/~mchase/zip/ .  They
execute ~/.bashrc twice, but /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile only once. 
No modification is required to any profile or rc script.

Wow!  There's a bounty of scripts to be had there.  Perhaps you
should include the url in your sig as well.  Thanks for compiling
that collection!

Cheers,

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

Actually this was what I started with, but I had some trouble with the installation.
Later on I found the idea to use an environment varable instead of writing to a temp-file.

Is there any way that we can STOP discussing this now?  Surely this
subject has been beaten into the ground so far by now that it must be
nearly molten.

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Gunnar Boström]

I don't think that cygwin kicks in at all.
I added that line in both .profile and .bashrc but there was no output in the log.
It still works if I choose a folder, byt not a drive!

Wow, what a thread... I missed it.
I have a package online to deal with this (drives & folders, including a
little setup script), this version is for 'bash only', but can be
customized: http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/CygwinPromptHere/

I gives an entry in the context-sensitive Explorer right click menu and
a batch file in the Cygwin root directory, modify the batch file to start
your favorite terminal (e.g. rxvt) in your favorite colors.

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Gunnar Boström]

Thanks Igor, it works with the cygpath that you sent me.

I have still one little problem. 
I can't get it to work when I select a drive. 
I get a DOS window where some text flies by, I think it's the output from env, 
and then the window disappears.
 
It works fine when I select a directory
I have the following command in the registry (windows XP pro) for both Directory and Drive.

env.exe  CYGWINSTARTHERE="%1" bash --login

Suggestions?

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

Gunnar,

I suggest putting an 'echo "$CYGWINSTARTHERE" >> /var/log/bashhere.log' in
your .bashrc before the 'cd' line.  Then, when you know exactly which
value $CYGWINSTARTHERE gets, try running your command with that value from
the cmd.exe window, and see what it says...
Once you've debugged this, don't forget to remove the 'echo' :-)

Gunnar,
This is exactly what the `cygpath -w -l` is supposed to do.  The problem
is that I forgot that the currently compiled cygpath is buggy (not sure
why, recompiling it from 1.3.12-4 sources works).  Either recompile
cygpath, or use the attached binary (compiled on Win2k, don't know if it
matters).

Oops, just re-read this...  Brrrr, should drink more coffee before
replying to mails...  Here's another try:

Gunnar,
Converting short paths to long is exactly the intent of the `cygpath -w
-l` line.  However, the cygpath executable in the current distribution of
cygwin doesn't work.  You can simply recompile cygpath from the sources,
or use the executable in the previous message (I've posted it once before,
too, so you can search the archives).  The latter does involve some degree
of trust... :-D
Hope this is more readable.

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Gunnar Boström]

I only have ntsec in $CYGWIN.
I tried your advise below but "cygpath -w -l" returns garbage!
The very first problem is that env CFH="%1" in the register inserts the short windows form.
Is it possible to force windows to insert the long form?
:-)

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Gunnar Boström]

This works fine except that I get the windows short form of the 
directories in the CFH variable.
I've tried filtering through cygpath but no luck.
Any suggestion?

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Igor Pechtchanski]

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]

Gunnar,
I assume your $CYGWIN contains "check_case:strict", since that is the
setting in which the short paths won't work.  They will work if $CYGWIN
contains "check_case:adjust".  So, you can use the following sequence in
your .bashrc to get the correct form of the windows path:

if [ -n "$CFH" ] ; then
   CFH="$(export CYGWIN="$CYGWIN check_case:adjust";cygpath -w -l "$CFH")"
   cd "$CFH"
   unset CFH
fi

Hope this helps,
	Igor

Sorry Frantisek et al,

Mea culpa. You are correct.  I was not using a .profile at all, thanks for 
pointing out the problem.  I have rearranged things and retested with a 
.profile.  I placed

alias profilels1='ls -s'
export PROFILE2=ProfileVariable2
export PATH=/cygdrive/c/Temp:$PATH

in my .profile in my home directory.  My OpenWith.reg file now contains:

I make the first invocation of bash avoid executing any scripts, then make 
the second exec invocation run the scripts instead.  I  don't get any 
double execution, the PATH variable doesn't get /cygdrive/c/Temp added to 
it twice, and I get the variables and aliases from both .profile and 
.bashrc.  Notice the new EXPLORERDIR variable. The many quotes are needed 
for directory names with spaces! I had to add these lines at the very 
bottom of the global /etc/profile file to get it to change to the directory 
desired though:

if [ "$EXPLORERDIR" ]; then
   cd "$EXPLORERDIR"
fi

Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[John Daniel Doucette]

Igor,

With all the great info on the mailing list and some research on my own, 
this is the registry file I came up with to open a cygwin rxvt shell at the 
current explorer directory/drive.  It also includes the option to open a 
Command prompt at the explorer directory/drive (Horrors!).  It works under 
Win2000 SP3.  For XP, just replace the WINNT path segments (2!) with 
WINDOWS.  The first invocation of bash loads all the profile information 
but is not interactive so that it can CD to the right directory, then exec 
replaces the current shell without reading any profile information.  I 
diff'ed a PRINTENV output before and after the exec command and they proved 
to be the same.  My bashrc only gets executed once in this case. Hope this 
provides more info. I am still trying to figure out how to get those cute 
little icons in the context menu though!  All the keys have "Custom_" in 
their names to make them easy to find and remove if you don't like their 
function.

Hi,

Here is an alternative that has also been posted before, that also
works when it's a disk drive rather than a directory. Does
this work any better for you? (Both work fine for me on W2K SP3)

Re: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Frantisek Dufka]

Umm they both work, sort of. As I said before, the user profile gets
executed twice. If you run some executable from the user profile which
should run only once, it's a problem.

First invocation is from the '-e /usr/bin/bash --login' part, the second is
from the 'exec bash --rcfile ~/.profile' (or 'exec -l bash')

My solution runs bash only once and I have no problems with it so far. I
just wanted to share. I hope it's clear now :)

Re: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Igor Pechtchanski]

As I posted earlier, you can avoid calling both ~/.bashrc and /etc/profile
by running bash with a "-i" option (
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg00680.html ).

So invoke the first bash as '-e bash --login -i', and the second as 'exec
bash --rcfile ~/.profile'.  You may get ~/.bashrc executed on the second
invocation.  You will lose the system-wide settings that are set in
/etc/profile, though.

Re: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Frantisek Dufka]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1172 bytes --]

I don't know how to do it without using .bashrc, but this works for me 
(current cygwin, NT 4.0)

Registry key contains:

D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sb -sr -sl 16384 -fn fixedsys -fg gray -bg black 
-e /bin/env CFH="%1" /bin/bash --login

.bashrc contains

if [ "$CFH" != "" ] ; then
     cd "$CFH"
     unset CFH
fi

No temporary files, bash.exe or .bash_profile is not executed twice. 
Also looks like cygpath -u is not needed, DOS paths seem to work in cd 
command.

Not long ago someone posted a registry key to do this with right-click
button option. It works quite well and you can modify the key to your own
preferences (background colour, font colour, etc.). Someone posted a way
to opne a explorer from current bash PWD.

Re: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Frantisek Dufka]

Sure. We are both talking about following key, right?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\0cmd-rxvt]
@="Open rxvt Window Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\0cmd-rxvt\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\rxvt.exe -bg black -fg white -sr -sl 1000 -fn
\"Fixedsys\" -ls -e /usr/bin/bash --login -c \"cd \\\"`cygpath -u '%1'`\\\";
exec bash\""

It didn't work for me. My settings in .bash_profile were not executed in the
final 'exec bash' but in the -e /usr/bin/bash, which is wrong, because it
gets forgotten by the exec'ed shell. If you add -l (exec -l bash) it is
executed twice. In my case it tells me two fortune cookies instead of one.
That's nice, but they may run out quickly :)

Hello,

I am using Win2000 Pro, SP3.   Is there a way to invoke an interactive bash 
shell at a particular directory, without using a .bashrc or similar file? 
I.e. on the command lie alone?  The --login and -c options appear to be

with explorer, option/right click on the directory, then select a custom 
"open with cygwin" option, and have the bash shell open at that 
directory.  Has anyone tried this?

shell at a particular directory, without using a .bashrc or similar file? 
I.e. on the command lie alone?  The --login and -c options appear to be 
mutually exclusive.  I would like to be able browse quickly to a directory 
with explorer, option/right click on the directory, then select a custom 
"open with cygwin" option, and have the bash shell open at that 
directory.  Has anyone tried this?

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Tim Beuman]

In Explorer:

Tools->Folder Options
select tab: "File Types"
select Extensions: "N/A, File Folder" (use "N/A, Drive for setting the same
action at drive level)
click Advanced
click New
enter "Cygwin shell" or whatever you want to name it in the Action field
enter "C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat" or something like this in the "Application used
to perform action" field
click OK several times till you are back in the Explorer
done!

Tim

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Igor Pechtchanski]

A small note: c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat runs "bash --login -i", which reads
/etc/profile.  The default /etc/profile contains a "cd $HOME" command.

If you really want bash to open in the current directory, use "bash
--login --noprofile -i" or just "bash -i".  Both of these come with
caveats, though: the former may not set up the right environment
(including the prompt), and the latter will not log you in (I'm not sure
exactly what the caveat here is -- maybe some shares will not be
accessible or something).
