For links with reftype=launch the parameters within the attribute data are not handled correctly, if parameters are enclosed in double quotes.

I include a testcase to demo the filename case. Note that the IBM viewer does handle double quotes correctly. See further explanation in the testcase panel itself.

The testcase is compiled with HyperText?/2, you may want to download htex107.zip from hobbes for evaluation.

I would greatly appreciate if you could pass me an email to cla@… when the error is about to be fixed. I could implement a workaround in HyperText?/2, but that would not help for lots of old INFs being already around (BTW, this is why I would consider this being important, so the major prio). And it would not solve the basic problem, also affecting filenames and such.

I finally chased this one down and figured out why it was coming and going.

Issue:

When ndctl.exe (the NetDrive daemon) is running and the following plugins are loaded:

ndpftp ndpsmb ndpntfs ndpdav ndpfat ndpiso

upon starting NewView, the following crash is reported and recorded:

App Version: V2.19.4
Components Version: v1.11.26
Library Version: V1.5.14

Running as process: C:\ECS\BIN\NEWVIEW.EXE

Further, when selecting No (do not exit the program) following the startup crash, and subsequently searching all help files, attempting to open the directory selection window fails (this is what put me onto NetDrive in the first place).

I suspect it is the Samba plugin, as that is the plugin currently seeing most development activity, and this issue did not occur until I was in the middle of testing new Samba builds. I will confirm by disabling Samba and rebooting.

It is possible to define links inside ipf based on the call of an external program. NewView has serveral problems with this.

1. the program is started with a new environment
2. the parameter handling has problems with quoting

and maybe there are more. Will check this in detail.
