I am using one method to execute some apps. But because they are too deep into the directory app name is too long. Is there a way to execute the app but on the visible part to be only the APP name, not the full path? Thanks

10 sec video, explained what i am trying to do

To improve visibility, add a description prefix to multiple selections. In this case only description will appear on a popup window. The default description separator is "::" which can be changed in Preferences > Text Expander.

Example (Type: Run):

Code: Select all

Firefox:: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe
/MyFolder:: D:\MyFolder
/FastKeys webpage:: http://www.fastkeysautomation.com/
https://fastkeysautomation.com/documentation5/Run.html

Yes, Name is displayed but the application won't run! What i am doing wrong?
This is how code looks like
Dirsync:: D:\Sherif\Software\SyMenu\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite\Mine\DirSyncPro-1.53-Windows\DirSyncPro.exe
/Clipdiary:: D:\Sherif\Software\SyMenu\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite\Mine\clipdiary_portable\clipdiary-portable.exe

Check if the Type is set to "Run" and paths are correct.
Right click and enable Insert mode. Then use "Open" icon to select files.

Yes, it is set to RUN and the path is correct because it will run if i remove "Firefox::" in front of the software path.
Idea was to show only the name, not the full path.

It should work. Which FastKeys version are you using? Could you try one of the standard windows files? Use Open icon to open the path. If this doesn’t work please contact our support.
