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.

Re: SendTo Implementation
Hacky ways are not likely be accepted. We try to be Windows compatible and this would be the wrong way.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

Didn't realize there was a web client, thanks! Seems to not be working for me on macOS Chrome though...oldman wrote:You have posted here, so you can use IRC here https://www.reactos.org/irc.

Understood, thank you. I suppose (for now) I can just implement the CSendTo class but leave out the .desklink and .mapimail file associations so the feature is at least available for whenever an app/lib registers itself.EmuandCo wrote:Hacky ways are not likely be accepted.
