Create a shortcut on excel file on the desktop from Projectwise Explorer

Offline Ludovick over 6 years ago

Hello,

For most of my excel / Word file, i simply drag & drop the PJW file entry to my desktop and all works fine.

But on some documents,

when i drag it, i have no 'shortcut icon' and i cannot then drop it on desktop

Same kind of XLSX file, same length of name and fullpath ...

any idea ?

best regards

Ludovick

Hello Ludovick
I can not reproduce the problem. I tried setting permissions and using a file that was locked to me, all worked. I know you said that the file type was the same and path length,... but try to copy the link to a different location like to c:\Temp
Try right click and then drag to the desktop, it will give you option to create short cut

Hello Dana,

Thank you for considering my issue.

I think there is no ACL issue because i tried with an account that bypass ACL -> same issue

Tried to copy to c:\Temp Same issue

In fact, as soon i click and begin to drag the file (even inside PJW) i have a specific icon with a strikethrough round

instead of the classical arrow icon

Left click or right click do the same

any idea ?
