When I copy a windows path from windows explorer's location bar, C:\Users\Administrator\Links, it gets automatically translated to one of the following:
Cygwin in Conemu:
/mnt/c/Users/Administrator/Links
Git bash in Conemu:
/mnt/c/Users/Administrator/Links
Cygwin64 Terminal:
(no translation)
C:\Users\Administrator\Links
Git Bash on Windows:
(no translation)
C:\Users\Administrator\Links
But Cygwin actually wants C:/Users/Administrator/nextcloud/diary
or
/cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/nextcloud/diary
and Git Bash actually wants /c/Users/Administrator/Links
So each time I try to cd into that directory, I get bash: cd: /mnt/c/Users/Administrator/Links: No such file or directory. Then I have to manually change the path.
Is there a way to change Conemu's "translation" rule? Do you experience the same problems when using linux terminals with/without Conemu? How did you cope with this?
Edit:
The Git Bash is started in Conemu by setting up a task with commands:
C:\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe --no-cd --command=usr/bin/bash.exe -l -i -new_console:t:"Git Bash"
and Cygwin is started in Conemu with commands D:\app\cygwin64\Cygwin.bat -new_console:t:"cygwin"
I ran into the same problem using Cmder (which uses Conemu). In the launch options (in Cmder, it's in Startup - Tasks), you must select the task (for example bash :: bash) and add:
-cur_console: m: "".
Indeed, according to the documentation:
https://conemu.github.io/en/NewConsole.html#syntax
in the options of -cur_console, we can read:
m: / mnt - defines ‘/ mnt’ prefix for Unix-path conversion, m: "" - no prefix
