[SOLVED] Create_shortcut() function with a URL

[t.heroult]

Good morning
I'm trying to create shortcuts to web addresses using the create_shortcut() function, but it returns an error. Does the function only work with local targets?

Here is the message:

Code: Select all

How can I generate a shortcut to a web address?

Hello Thomas,

Code: Select all

create_shortcut('mon_lien.url','https://wapt.tranquil.it')

Make sure to include a .url at the end of the link name

Sincerely,

Denis
