"Failed to open .lnk" when opening a shortcut through Mala

[markronz]

I am trying to add Angry Birds to Mala.   I added it to my Mala menu, using just a shortcut.    I have done this in the past, for Grid Wars, and simply added it to mala with a shortcut in this fashion, and it works fine.  For some reason, the shortcut to Angry Birds does not work.  Instead I just get a "Failed to open .lnk" error, and that's all.   When I click on the shortcut (lnk) when not inside of Mala, it works just fine.

Any idea why this would not work?   

Attached is a screenshot of the error, a zipped up copy of the angry birds shortcut, and the log file for Mala (in debug mode).

Let me know if you need any more information!

Firstly, may I say what a excellent support request.

Simple, straight to the point and relevant attachments.  

Anyway...

Do you just have %rom% on the executable tab? I am guessing not?

See attached screen shot. Try that.

Figured it out!  Yeah, I had my Command line set to %rom%.%ext%  once I updated it to just %rom% like you suggested, it worked fine.

Interesting that my other two shortcuts worked, but this one wouldn't.  Strange.  But whatever, its all working now.  Thanks for the help!

I added a bit more logging for the next version so in debug mode it shows you the command line before and after conversion to make it easier to work out what command is being sent and what the error actually means.
