I have an situation in an app where the user can drop a file on a target (canvas or listbox) and I need to be able to determine the actual path. This works fine for actual entities but not if the user drops an alias (shortcut). Is there a way to resolve the path to the object of the shortcut?
Huh? I’m not sure what you are saying. What prefix? NativePath is the full path to the file/folder/alias(shortcut). It includes the drive designation and all of the intermediate locations. (A file on a network server may register differently but as I need to keep on the local machine, network drives are not an issue.)
The docs state that for Linux and Windows, FolderItem.TrueItem is the same as FolderItem.Item, which does not resolve shortcuts on Windows. Hence my problem…
