TC not passing proper command line to external viewer.

[avada]

Hello!

I configured external viewers for some filetypes for which I didn't find good plugins.
When I press ctrl+b to show all files from sub-folders too. And if I press f3 on a file that's actually in a subfolder instead of opening the desired file I get one window for every word.
The command line is like this:

Code: Select all

D:\Programok\pdf\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe -presentation D:\TEST-F~1\subfolder\word1 word2 word3.pdf

Normally the command line looks like this:

Code: Select all

D:\Programok\pdf\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe -presentation D:\TEST-F~1\SUBFOL~1\WORD1W~1.PDF

(Why on earth does TC use the ancient short-name crap anyway?)


Another problem (not sure if it's a TC or an mplayer issue) with external viewing comes up when I try to open a file through lister with mplayer which has a name that contains an asian or cyrillic character. For the split second the mplayer window appears I see question marks instead of the characters, and of course mplayer doesn't find the file because nothing exists by that filename. ( Curiosly if I set the same filename for SumatraPDF but with pdf extension it opens it)

How does your definition for your external viewer for F3 look like?

For pdf it was

Code: Select all

D:\Programok\pdf\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe -presentation

As a workaround I changed it to this:

Code: Select all

"D:\Programok\pdf\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe" -presentation

So far it seems to succesfully circumwent the ctrl+b bug.[/quote]
