Sorry. This just came to my attention. Had two users just yesterday complaining about this. Will be fixed in a future release, but here's a temporary work-around: https://pwstorageazure.blob.core.windows.net/public/copylinkstoclipboardsetup20180919.zip
The issue is that PW URN document links now need to include a trailing forward slash. I ran into this last week when adding the cmdlet Add-PWPDFLink to PowerShell.
This installer adds a Copy Document Links to Clipboard and a Copy Document Links to Clipboard (Bare) command to the Document menu in ProjectWise Explorer as well as a Copy Folder Link and Copy Folder Link (Bare) command to the Folder menu. These commands return properly formatted PW URN links with my http launcher address (http://pwazurecloudservice.cloudapp.net/Web/PWURLLauncher.html?) prepended to it. The advantage of this approach is that Outlook and Gmail don't bark at you when you try to follow the link because they appear to be regular web links. Nonetheless, you also end up with a PW Document URN with a trailing slash. I'm not sure how this will be fixed in upcoming releases, so this may stop working when PW Explorer is updated.
Hi all, I've also logged a ticket and that has led me here. Apologies if this is already known. I found that document URNs aren't working in MS Outlook, Word, ExcelThey are working if you create a desktop shortcut or if you paste the URN directly into windows explorer. Does this indicate an issue with Office and the way it's handling the document URNs? or is windows explorer adding a "/" Folder URNs and both document and folder URLs seem to work fine.
I can see your comment about the trailing forward slash, although when I create the URN as a desktop shortcut it doesn't seem to need this? (adding it does still work though)
Also taking an old URN link in an email, copying, adding the / seems to resolve.
Eager to hear the solution for old links as mentioned by Amber.
See if this helps: https://pwstorageazure.blob.core.windows.net/public/pwlinkprocessorforupdate3setup20181001.zip
The good thing about this approach is that the Update 4 installer (or whatever they end up calling it) should naturally overwrite it.
If you are going to post new links could you delete or disable the old ones.
Hi Dave - there is a similar link issue here that does not seem to be fixed by the update 3.167. Office changes the brackets {} to %codes, and PW Explorer cannot handle them. Could your pwlinkprocessor be modified to handle this case as well ?
