Type "dir" on a dstore-windows command shell, or "ls" on a dstore-linux command shell. Output is parsed to show what lines are directories. From a former RSE presentation, I think that double clicking on a shell ouptut that has been parsed as directory should perform a "cd" operation on the same command shell. This does not work.
Thinking again, I believe that the items parsed as directory in the command output should have exactly the same properties as directories in the RSE tree: * context menu should have rename, copy, move, show in table, etc. properties In other words, items that have been properly parsed as file or directory should allow the same actions as the corresponding elements in the RSE tree.
Bug 153272 was already fixed to support a "cd" action for dbl clicking on a directory. This enhancement request is for giving full support for all RSE actions on file or directory objects that have been parsed out of shell output.
Dave, I think you took out the Properties action from the right click menu in the shell, and we've agreed that since they're not IRemoteFile objects we don't want to make the actions the same as for IRemoteFile (i.e. in tree view, table view, etc.).
Yes, I believe that we need to treat the output of a shell differently from IRemoteFiles. Full integration is nice but it leads to complications and performance issues. I think we should keep the integration here at a minimum. Martin, are you still wanting this?
I like the idea of being able to do everything with the IRemoteOutput if it refers to a file, but I'm OK with treating this as an enhancement request for the Future for now.
