Interal Associations:Can i send short 8.3 names?

Post by *kesdoputr »

My internal association to play media file with mplayer is:
"%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOOLS\Mplayer\mplayer.exe" "%2"

Mplayer not support unicode filename and path but can use short 8.3 names,when i create a command i can use %s to solve this problem,
But i can't send short 8.3 name to mplayer in internal association,is there a parameter can do this?thx for your reply^^

PS.as i know,now "%1" will send fullname and "%2" will send all selected file's fullname at sequence.
I hope i can use:for example "%3" to send 8.3 name "%4" to send selected file's 8.3 name,just like %N %n and %S %s

Try using:
"%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOOLS\Mplayer\mplayer.exe" %1

without the double quotes around %1

using %1 can't let me use mplayer to play with unicode filename like japan word.
(mplayer now can't support uniocde path and filename i must use 8.3 format)

Now i have a solution from this thread
