Launching of apps associated to file types

pstrg:
Trying dual pane file managers (something I should have done before).
Much pleased to note that MC allows one to see the tree, a feature most others lack.

However, something did not work, as described below:
1) Selected File Explorer Look'N'Feel;
2) Selected a list of FLAC files;
3) Hit Enter
Instead of seeing foobar2000 (which is associated to FLAC) launch and the first file on the list to start playing, nothing happened.
What setting should be activated to enable this typical File Explorer behavior?

Mathias (Author):
Unless you configure in MC that some program should open it that filetype with program X, MC will then send the file to execute to Windows and Windows will check it list of associated program and start that.

If Windows fails to do that you can check the log and see what error windows returns.

If you press Ctrl+L you will see a log entry that it executed a file and if ShellExecute (The function in Windows that launches programs)  returned an error.
ex.
------
2020-07-27 00:00:00.000 Execute file item : <File to execute>
2020-07-27 00:00:00.000 ShellExecute error xxxx
---------

pstrg:
Thank you for your reply.

Since FLAC files are already registered to foobar2000, it should not be necessary to register them within MC in order to have them opened by foobar2000, right?
The picture below illustrates my test.
- Selected a number of audio files and, with mouse over the selection, hit Enter.
Nothing happened.
foobar2000 wasn't running at the time and wasn't launched.
Log did not register anything as a result of the actions described above (FileOperations Log is empty).

Mathias (Author):
No not if you are using the Windows associations. (they are mostly for when you install MC on portable device)

Ahh you need to turn on more logging for the error to be shown in the logview
In Core settings > Logging
Set "Log level" for application log to "Debug"

When if you "run" multiple files at once.. they are all sent to Windows and windows will try to start them.
But the targeting application also need to support getting multiple inputs.

Same issue if you only try to start 1 file ?

pstrg:
If just one file is selected, behavior is in part as expected: foobar2000 is launched, a single file shows up in the playlist but... it doesn't start playing (like in Explorer).

Is the info below what you need?

p.s. Just for the record: most (not all) other multipane file explorers do have problems emulating the usual File Explorer behavior for multiple selected files associated with an application.
