Launching of apps associated to file types
Mathias (Author):
No that is not the application log. That is the filesystem log that do logging and for troubleshoot with issue when scanning the filesystem
All you want is the error code is shown as I wrote before.
MC do not start all instances and do all that. MC is calling Windows and Windows do all the finding of associations and starting instances.
So if windows have any issue it should return an error code that is shown there.
pstrg:
Sure, sent the other log because the Application Log contains nothing related either to multi-file or single file events.
It's just like this:

Note that I duly understand what you repeated in the previous replies to my issue.
What is not clear to me is
- why is CM able to launch foobar2000 as expected when I try to open a single file
- but does nothing at all if I try to open more than one simultaneously.
Shouldn't it emulate the usual File Explore behavior?
pstrg:
Addendum
Besides the (already existing) Windows associations, forced association of some audio files like this:
Then, selected a number of such files and, with mouse still over the selection, hit Enter - nothing happened (no new lines in Application Log either).

As I said before. You need to enable loglevel "debug" for it to show the error sent from Windows.
MC is not launching foobar2000. MC tell windows to open these file with whatever you have configured with file associations.
MC is forwarding all to Windows. It should be the same as Windows Explorer does. It does the same thing.
I works for me for winamp and other program. FooBar2000 I never tested on that. And I currently do not have the ability to do that

You can probably not do that if you want the program to queue all files instead of opening X numbers of instance of foobar.
I Now for winamp you needed to do "Winamp.exe /add <filename>" to make it do the queue. for foobar I have no idea.
Also If I remeber it correct the fileextension need to be *.mp3 *.flac and so on as you see in the default item for viewers/editors.
