Hi Chris & Ric, Thanks for explaining about the shallow search. I went back to using upper case too. So, I went one level up in the path, and now *jqt *is working now as you'd expect it to.
e.g. from *C:/dev/projectA/* to *c:/dev/* Does it make sense to enable pointing directly at a project root with a user folder too? i.e. search root as well as sub-folders for .jproj files. -Steven On 24 August 2014 15:28, chris burke <[email protected]> wrote: > > You could try making sure that your alias starts with a capital letter.
