Open With...

[novicenotes-net]

Hi, DV and Users. Please allow me this moment to thank DigitalVolcano for all the great software. I use the dupe finder, and use the [shhhut yo' mouth] out of the TextCrawler, both 1 and 2. Rock /and/ roll!

Okay. Here's the deal...

Moments ago, I tried sending a file to FreeCommander.exe (see freecommander.com ), a freeware file manager for which I have great affinity.

The path includes spaces (ah la "Program Files"). On receipt of the command, FreeCommander returns "FirstWord" not a valid path.

I don't recall this happening elsewhere, never mind I don't recall what I did five minutes ago, but I digress.

As much as I love FreeCommander, I realize software is subject to erroneous behaviour, here and there. Thus, I am not confident in /pointing the finger/ in any direction, in this case. Not to mention, pointing the finger is rude, nevertheless, by the way.

I checked, and I am using v2.1

Glad you like our stuff

Open with... does correctly send paths with spaces in, however perhaps freecommander needs these type of paths to be in "quotes".

In this case you can try Options->External programs tab.
Select "Open Using specified application", put in the location of the freecommander.exe, and set Additional Command line parameters to "[File]" (including the quotes). This will send the filename in quotes to the app.
