I'm using the beta right now, but I think this applies to v25 as well.
In past versions of slick, I've always set my aliases via command line. I'd like to continue to do so, without the prompt for an alias file and the subsequent dialog. Which.. by the way, ignores my full alias command, specifying alias and value. Very annoying.
So the doc (I'm looking at the beta now) shows a default file I don't have. Maybe as an upgrade, it's still using alias.slk instead of the stated alias.als.xml? It says alias files will be searched in the order of those listed in VSLICKALIAS. So in hopes this would avoid the dialog, I set it to:
VSLICKALIAS=C:\Users\PaulBrightly\Documents\My SlickEdit Config\\alias.slk
If I execute the command:
alias optvault c:\sandbox\gensec\operatorvault\
, it asks for an alias file, I pick global, it throws me into the dialog and discards my alias and value.
Same if I pass -g.
Is there a trick to just let me set a simple alias in the default file from the command line?
