How filenames are proceeded to programs?

Post by *XPEHOPE3KA »

Maybe a bug...

Tested with Apollo music player.
1. Go to some music folder and select some files;
2. Invoke context menu and choose "Play with Apollo" entry;
3. Apollo main playlist is deleted (as it should) and all the songs are placed to it, the first song is playing now - all is correct.

1. Now browse some music folder with subfolders;
2. Press Ctrl+B;
3. Select some songs (no matter whether they would reside in the same folder or anywhere else);
4. Invoke context menu and choose "Play with Apollo" entry;
5. Apollo is started for each song. That is: "Play with Apollo" menu entry is invoked on a one-by-one basis. Only the last song (according to sorting method) is played - but that's not expected!

So, what's so different between the two situations and what approaches are used?

BTW, I know about list2anything utilities.

I've got bad behavior too.
In my case Apollo starts only with the first selected track.
For other files there is an error:
"There is no application associated with this file type. Associate file extension using Folder Options window in Settings Panel."
