I want to make a Windows shortcut for my LÖVE project

Post by vernon »

I work on a love project, and i want to make a shortcut for love.exe in the project's folder with the folder's path as parameter.
That should open my project nicely.
I find both the dragging method and opening from the cmd.exe method clunky, and I use total commander anyways which doesnt let the drag method work.

But for some reason, the shortcut parameter doesn't work. When I try other parameters, like --console, those work. But the folder path doesn't.
This is the target for my shortcut:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LOVE\love.exe" c:\Users\Imi\PROGRAMMING\LOVE stuff\phys_draw\

Try using quotation marks for the parameter too:
"PathOfLove" "c:\Users\Imi\PROGRAMMING\LOVE stuff\phys_draw\"
lf = love.filesystem
ls = love.sound
la = love.audio
lp = love.physics
lt = love.thread
li = love.image
lg = love.graphics

That didn't work before.
Ok now it works.
I needed the quotes around the project's path, and delete the last slash at the end of the project path.
Thanks good sir!
