TC suggestions (English) • Re: Command line parameter to open file using internal association

Hi,

If I have understood your suggestion correctly, then I regret to inform you that it is NOT possible
to open a file by double-clicking in 'Everything' with an application defined in Total Commander
with the function "Internal Associations (Total Commander Only)...".

If a file is to be opened directly in 'Everything' by double-clicking with the desired application,
then the corresponding settings are required in 'Everything' 1.5a:

1. Custom Open Commands - Everything 1.5.0.1355a - 17.8.2023
2. INI Setting - custom_open_commands
   Attention: Do not use this sample code!... Please see: Custom Open Commands and the example below.
   CODE: Change any "name":"..." values to: "name":""
   I informed the author of 'Everything' by email on 30 July 2024.
    
3. EXAMPLE (successfully tested!):
   Everything Options - 1.5.0.1383a (x64) > Advanced > Search for: custom_open_commands > Value for custom_open_commands:

   Code:

   [{"name":"","type":2,"filter":"*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.psd","command":"$exec(\"C:\\totalcmd\\Tools\\IrfanView-portable-64bit\\IrfanView\\i_view64.exe\" \"%1\")"},{"name":"","type":2,"filter":"*.mp4;*.mov","command":"$exec(\"C:\\Program Files $(x86$)\\K-Lite Codec Pack\\MPC-HC64\\mpc-hc64.exe\" \"%1\")"},{"name":"","type":2,"filter":"*.7z;*.zip","command":"$exec(\"C:\\totalcmd\\Totalcmd64.exe\" /O /A /S \"%1\")"}]

   Adjust the applications and paths and then click on the "Apply"-button, then on "OK".
   Note: *.psd files will open in IrfanView with this setting in Everything instead of Photoshop.
