Bash Prompt Here opening in Windows Console/Terminal on chere 1.4-3 (was Re: [PATCH chere 0/4] Overview of chere patches)

[Philippe Cloutier]

Thank you very much for this Vadim

This took me a long time to debug. Just figuring out that my problem was 
specific to Bash Prompt Here took ¼ hour. It would be great to see this 
fixed.

I am no fan of Mintty and am fine with Windows Terminal, but I agree 
Bash Prompt Here should match the Start menu.
The solution looks correct, but I am unfortunately unable to confirm it. 
On the Windows 11 25H2 machine I use which uses the default emulator, I 
see no improvement after the following:

1. Uninstalling, upgrading to 1.4-3 then (re)installing

2. # chere -x

None of the commands fail, but the situation remains unchanged. This is 
not just a lag from File Explorer; I can see the entries removed from 
the registry, then recreated, and restarting does not help.

It would be great to have chere more discoverable indeed (and not visit 
Stack Exchange to remember how I got Bash Prompt Here every time I 
install Cygwin)!
