Which is XnviewMP syntax to use "path" of selected file in a "parameter" (configure programs):

Hi,
I would appreciate help.
In order a parameter (configure programs) can work, I need to insert the "file path" of the selected file in XnView browser.
The main parameter is "-ImageEditor", but I need to add a "file path" prefix to it, as showed in this snapshot:

As fictional example (since %FILEPATHS% doesn't work in XnView), what I need is something like: "%FILEPATHS% -ImageEditor"
Which is XnviewMP syntax to use "path" of selected file in a "parameter"?
Thanks for assistance,
Carlos

currently the full pathname of file is used as argument, so no way to add path of this file

I got this working with:
ED: Only noticed this only works with one file selected.

Try
it should work with multiple selected images, it works like a charm for me (Ok, I'm on Linux but you can try it with a test directory)

Unfortunately, that didn't work for this case. It was trying to upload them too.
I had help on another similar thread and I'm now using a .bat file.
Code: Select all
:bb
if %1==z goto end
"W:\Apps (Portable)\Screen Capture Apps\ShareX\ShareX.exe" -ImageEditor %1
shift
goto bb
:end
exit

last suggestion, did you try: -ImageEditor "%1" (with double quotes " ", In a different forum I saw many Windows users are using " " in parameter, I'm not a Windows user though, so I don't know) or call directly the app by its file name the same way: ShareX.exe "%1" (with or without the - )
In all case I'm glad you've found a solution

I did try that. Double quoting didn't have any affect.

Did you tried to see what's the exact command in your Microsoft Windows main menu (the main app launcher in the Windows OS something like Start button then Programs/...) with a right click on the name of the application (here ShareX) then "properties" or with a menu editor?
A bit like this (sorry it's the Linux "Main menu editor", but you should have something similar on your system)

I'm not sure where %U comes into play in windows.
Here's the command line argument that's used for Windows.
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\ShareX\ShareX.exe" -ImageEditor "%1"

So no choice, for Windows it's "%1"
I saw on the gihub link you provided some one did put "-ImageEditor (filename)" instead of "-ImageEditor %1" did you tried it to open multiple images?

That was me that posted that. That was for faststone image viewer. Doesn't work for this app.
