CMDER_START should always be set to USERPROFILE unless explicitly set through /START parameter

[MartiUK]

• CmderLauncher.cpp: set CMDER_START to USERPROFILE unless set through /START param.
• Conemu.xml: Always use CMDER_START for new tasks.

cmder is also registered as "C:\Users\jschulz\Dropbox\Programme\cmder\Cmder.exe" "%V" but the startup requires /START https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/blob/development/launcher/src/CmderLauncher.cpp#L290

Whatever, adding it also didn't make cmder start up in the directory I rightclicked.

I haven't made these changes yet, but it should fix most issues regarding /START.

[jankatins]

Ok, I think it's ok not to have /START in the context menu integration, but I think that the path argument is ignored in https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/blob/development/launcher/src/CmderLauncher.cpp#L155 So in the moment it looks like the right click integration is broken? At least it doesn't work on my computer :-(

The problem with cmder_here stems from the fact that the tasks do not use CMDER_START as an initial directory to work with. Which is part of this issue.

[jankatins]

What should the outcome be here?

• cmder /START <dir> (right click "cmder here") -> should overwrite all settings?
• the tasks can specify it's own startup path
• if a user sets CMDER_START -> not sure what priority that should have?

It seems for PS, the path gets applied to a registry key which is then used to set the CWD. For cmd, this registry key is ignored and CMDER_START env variable is used (which is not set by cmder.exe). shell doesn't seem to change anything...

Unfortunately, the init.bat file always overwrites the current dir with the "%HOME%" if CMDER_START is not set.

IMO:

• if a path is set in cmder /START <path>, this path should overwrite everything
• if a user specifies a CMDER_START environment variable, it should be applied
• as a last measure, the set working dir (by the task) should be taken last.
• all tasks should set a working directory (which they do? -new_console:d:%USERPROFILE%)

IMO this could be done by letting cmder.exe setting/overwriting CMDER_START if path is set. And get that implemented in all startup scripts.
