New Tab Startup Directory Option Doesn't Work

[Nick-t-go]

There is an option when creating a new tab that says:

"Startup Directory For New Process"

It allows you to pick any directory you want but it still just opens with my root as the base directory in the command line.

Come up with the same issue. I guess that happens because of %USERPROFILE% in your startup task. Managed to fix by following this comment: #91 (comment)

@romansp that doesn't really fix the problem, even if I set that to C:\ it will still ignore the directory I specify when opening a new tab. Very disconcerting that such a basic feature is essentially broke and no feedback from this project on multiple issues people have submitted over the last couple months.

Here's a work-around: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31933766/start-up-cmder-conemu-console-in-a-specific-folder/43836978#43836978

Basically, create a shortcut for ConEmu and change the "Start in:" attribute in the shortcut's properties.

This is not fixed !
-new_console:d:"C:\"

Still ignoring any of the path given to it.

@AntseN what exactly is not fixed?

If cmder.exe is in my path I can type cmder.exe from any directory and it will open in that directory. I can even type cmder.exe in the Windows Explorer path bar and it opens in the current directory displayed in Explorer

I can launch cmder c:\ and it will open in c:\

I can click the green + in conemu and specify a startup dir for a new tab there and it also works.

I think the problem is with your cmder tasks config the we provide defaults so for on a new install but never touch again because it becomes yours to managed.

Old versions of cmder had -new_console:d:"%userprofile%" in every task. You need to remove this setting from the tasks in conemu that you use to launch sessions.

Also make sure you are using the latest builds of cmder available here
