I have a problem with software called Spectro [http://spectro.enpts.com]. I would like to have the ability to select a file in FreeCommander, press a hot key and have this file loaded into Spectro. And if the selection was of more than one file, then this command should open each of those files in a separate instance
This Spectro program work fine by its own. Also while being in FreeCommander [or my Windows's 7 x64 Explorer] I can select a file, right click it for the context menu to appear, choose "Open with" and successively send it to the Spectro. Also, in a third party software Mp3tag [http://www.mp3tag.de] I have a hot key for this Spectro, which works there exactly as described by me at the beginning
In my FC I have Spectro added to one of my favorites toolbars like that:
Code: Select all
Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Spectro\Spectro.exe
Star folder: %ActivDir%
Parameter: %ActivSelName%
Unfortunately I do not know how to write a BAT file like that. And my attempts at making a working parameter within FC landed flat
Code: Select all
Program: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
Star folder: %ActivDir%
Parameter: /Q/D/U/C START "SPECTRO" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Spectro\Spectro.exe" %_PATH%
Also, I have similar problem with Audacity [http://audacityteam.org]. Sometimes I can send files to it from FC without a problem, but sometimes I get messages saying "File removed from the list of recent files". [And then I can close that message and open that particular file from within the Audacity, or drag the file over Audacity and release it, or load some other file and then try to load the old one from within FC - so it's not he fault of the file.] And I also use in the same way and for that same purpose [sending an audio file from FreeCommander / Mp3tag for analysis to a software with spectrogram] a third program called Spek [http://spek.cc], with never shows problems like that. So this would indicate the fault of FreeCommander or a coincidence [of bugs being in both Spectro and Audacity]. And if I were to solve the Spectro problem with your help, that I could probably solve on my own the Audacity issue by creating an adequate workaround for it
