open multiple selected files via [Associations]

[KozakMak]

Code: Select all

[Associations]
Filter8=>audio
Filter8.icon=%commander_path%\Utils\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe
Filter8_open=""%commander_path%\Utils\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe" "%1""

If i hit Enter on multiple selected files, foobar2000 open only 1 file under cursor
How to make it open every selected files at once?

For this I use a button - actually two buttons. If you use these buttons you will need to revise the location of foobar2000

This one adds all marked files to current playlist:
-----
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
c:\TotalCmd\apps\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe
%P%S
c:\TotalCmd\apps\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe
Foobar|Play marked
c:\TotalCmd\apps\foobar2000\
0
-1
-----
Just copy lines between the ----- and paste to the button bar.

I use this one to add to the current playlist:
-----
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
c:\TotalCmd\apps\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe /add
%P%S
%!Cmc:\TotalCmd\apps\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe
Foobar|Add to current playlist
c:\TotalCmd\apps\foobar2000\
0
-1

Select several files (same extension).
Right-click on one of the files.
Click on the first item in the context menu: Open (Audio)

If the application allows to run multiple instances, then the selected files should now be opened in individual windows.

1. Change

Code: Select all

Filter8_open=""%commander_path%\Utils\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe" "%1""

to

Code: Select all

Filter8_open=""%commander_path%\Utils\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe" "%2""

2. Use context menu "Open (Internal)" command to open all selected files in single instance.

This does not work, but in general the task is interesting.

If it doesn't work for you, you're doing something wrong.
Note: here is a solution for foobar2000.
It works for other programs only if it support many files in single instance and many file names in command line.
