Doesn't work properly with non-ASCII paths and selected folders

[olegcherr]

Hi!
Seems like the repo hasn't been maintained for a long time, but this note still may be helpful for users.

So...
chere uses such command to launch the shell:

C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe "%V"

This command has 2 problems:

1. It doesn't work with paths having non-ASCII characters.
   The home directory (~) is being open instead.
   Try it out by yourself by creating a folder like C:/Проект/dist

2. It doesn't open the currently selected in the Explorer folder:
   

Workaround?

I'm currently using another command:

"C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe" --dir "%V" -e /bin/env CHERE_INVOKING=1 /bin/bash --login

It utilizes the --dir option mentioned in the mintty docs and works well in all the cases.
I'm not sure is it a perfect solution or not, but I didn't notice any cons so far.

So, here is my version of Cygwin-Bash-Here.

PS

Did you know that both approaches don't work properly with Drives?
For example, try to open terminal via this context menu called for disk C:/ in MyComputer. It will open the system32 directory.

Due to this problem I wouldn't add registry entries to HKCR/Drive/**
