issue1: .bat file arguments don't work with Open With dialogue
issue2: "%~n1-R.mp4" style argument does not work either (it works inside .bat file)
This is content of mp4-rot.bat
ffmpeg -i %1 -metadata:s:v rotate="%2" -codec copy "%~n1-R.mp4"

does it work in other apps with similar 'Open with' functionality: ImageGlass, FastStone, Imagine, etc?

In faststone the .bat file worked so I didn't have to put commands directly to the dialogue.

I tried this :
1) Create test.bat containing :
Code: Select all
@echo off
echo start
echo : %1 : %2 : %3 :
echo stop
pause
2) Create a "Open with ..."
Name = test,
Path = C:\my_own_path\test.bat
Arguments = A "B C D"
3) Select a jpg file, > Open with > test
I get a cmd window showing my 3 arguments:
Code: Select all
start
: "C:\my_filepath\file.jpg" : A : "B C D" :
stop
... quotes are added to the full file name
