Do you work in a windows dominant environment? Are your network drives packed with Windows Shortcuts that point to directories and documents? Are you tired of starting a windows machine just to change your windows domain password? Do you want to copy path names to an email? Here is the answer: WinShortcutter!
WinShortcutter is a collection of small and useful utilities that are primarily focused at people working in a windows dominant office environment with a weak Mac support.
Features
New Quicklook feature: Quicklook will show, where the Shortcut points to!
Enhanced Mapping feature with arbitrary path. See Description below for a detailed explanation
Clicking on a windows style shortcut (.lnk File) will follow the link. If the shortcut points to a folder, a new finder window will be opened, if the shortcut points to a file, the file will be loaded with the default application for the file. If the shortcut points to a file on the network, the corresponding drive will automatically be mounted, if needed.
WinShortcutter Services and context menus (compatible with Snow Leopard):
You can open a textual link sent to you by a windows user by using the service or context menu.
The finder context menu has a menu item to copy filename paths into the clipboard. You can then
paste the text into an email. If the mapping paths is enabled, WinShortcutter will now also do a reverse mapping.
Note that you will have to enable the Service in the preferences.
Windows Domain Passwords can be changed using the WinShortcutter System Preferences.
Path Copy can also produce Paths with backslashes (/) for windows! This behavior is configurable in the System Preferences
Support for CIFS drives.
Alias can be generated with Command double-click, without activating in the System Preferences
