Support and Feedback / Re: MC using wrong app to open multiple files
« on: Today at 10:02:59 »
Return is Open/Run (unless it is a folder then it is Navigate into)
If you have multipe files select and to Open/Run (even via return key) all selected files are sent to Windows with the command to "Open" them.
If I do it for pdf I get a new instance of Edge with two tabs and a pdf in each.. and it is not MC that open edge. Windows does that because pdf is associated with that
Might be that Foxit does not support "Open" action with multiple files or something. I don't know. It is out of MCs control
If an unwanted app open the pdf. check your windows associations for pdf.. everything that is not overridden in filetype setup in MC is handed of to Windows. And Windows launch it depending on the filetype associations.
I don't know how foxit works. Can you open multiple from command line with like "<exe name for foxit>.exe pdf1.pdf pdf2.pdf" then it should be possible to use scripting for it
or does it need a file with all files listed that it should open.. I seen some program work like "<name>.exe -l parameters.txt" and in parameters.txt all files to open are listed.
depending on how foxit work I think it should be possible to create a UserDefinedCommand for it. that you den assign to a hotkey to open them.
