SendTo Implementation
Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2018 2:56 am
Sorry, don't have access to IRC at the moment so I figured I'd post here.
I'm implementing the "Send To" context menu (ref: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-12562). The first thing I want is the "Desktop (create shortcut)" on the desktop since I think it's a pretty basic capability, with "Compressed Folder" being a close second.
In Windows, the shortcut is done based on the .desklink file in %USERPROFILE%\SendTo, whose extension refers to sendmail.dll as a drop handler. ROS does not currently have sendmail.dll. Can I just implement this as a bit of a hack directly in shell32.dll or would a PR like that be rejected? Having sendmail.dll would be nice but I just started with ROS so I'm not up for creating a new system DLL just yet.
