Internationalization

Target language

• English

Reference page

• chrome.i18n - Google Chrome

Initial settings using the registry registration file cannot be performed (surrogate pair)

If the directory path where you place host-app contains surrogate pairs.

There is no problem if you set it manually from the registry editor.

For example

𠮷 becomesஷ

Cause code

chrome-extension_open-local-folder-by-explorer/main.js at v0.3.0 · tksugimoto/chrome-extension_open-local-folder-by-explorer

Can't open folder with "," in path. (","がpathに含まれるフォルダを開けない)

,を含むフォルダについては、通知では正しいパス名を表示しているが、実際に開かれるフォルダは「ドキュメント」フォルダになります。

ファイルパスによる動作の違い

• , なし: 開ける
  • aaa/
  • aaa/test.txt
  • bbb.txt
• , あり・ (スペース) あり: 開ける
  • a,a a/
  • a,a a/test.txt
  • b,b b.txt
• , あり・ (スペース) なし: 開けない
  • a,a/
  • a,a/test.txt
  • b,b.txt

参考

• Python 半角カンマを含むフォルダパスをエクスプローラで開きたい

  • パスをダブルクォーテーションで囲ってやる

  • Node.js なら exec(`explorer "${path}"`) とすればOKだが、サニタイズに注意
    • Child process | Node.js v18.9.1 Documentation

対策

• フォルダ時
  • exec(`explorer "${path}"`)
    • ⚠️ サニタイズに注意
• ファイル選択時
  • exec(`explorer /select,"${path}"`) とすればOK
    • ⚠️ サニタイズに注意
  • exec(`explorer "/select" "${path}"`) は上手く動かない
  • execFile('explorer', [`/select,"${path}"`] もNG

いずれにせよ、host app の更新が必要（なくても , 以外なら動く）
