Is it possible to open the application from the folder via a shortcut if the name of the application changes? For example, we created a shortcut "U" for an application named "2024-28-12." Later, we received an update in the same folder with the new name "2024-30-12." Is it possible for the shortcut "U" to call the latest version in that folder? Thanks Edited by user Tuesday, May 28, 2024 9:51:32 AM(UTC)

If the folder names will always be alphabetical, this will get the last folder sorted by name: Code:var lastDirectory = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\\Temp").EnumerateDirectories().OrderBy("Name desc").First();
StrokesPlus.Console.Log(lastDirectory.Name);

I think you misunderstood my question. I want to execute an application from a folder even if the name changes. For example, we created a stroke to execute an application named "name 1." After an update, the application's name changes to "name 2." Can we use the same stroke to call "name 2" without changing anything in the settings? Is there any script to detect the name change according to the date and use the latest name for that stroke? Thanks.

I was thinking the EXE was versioned by folder names, but it sounds like the EXE itself is what name changes?
Can you give me the full path and file name of the EXE before and after it is updated? That way I can fully visualize what changes and how it's being used.

Yes, I can, but the problem is that in my job we get very often updates, and EXE name is changed on each update. So after each update, I must change EXE File name.  This is the path and actually file name Quote:D:\Mobile\UnlockTool\UnlockTool-2024-05-18-0.exe - but file name of exe will change after each update! example of changing name

Okay, change from Steps to Script and paste the script below. It assumes the naming of the UnlockTool EXE name will be sortable alphabetically with newer versions, which appears to be the case based on what you've shown me. Code:let unlockToolBasePath = "D:\\Mobile\\UnlockTool"
var latestUnlockToolEXE = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(unlockToolBasePath).EnumerateFiles("UnlockTool-*.exe").OrderBy("Name desc").First();
sp.Run(`${unlockToolBasePath}\\${latestUnlockToolEXE.Name}`);
