Custom Open & IrfanView /thumbs [Solved]

Custom Open & IrfanView /thumbs

(I'm thinking this is an IV issue ?)


Custom Open does not work with IrfanView /thumbs.


IrfanView:

T:\PICS\0465.jpg" "T:\PICS\0466.jpg" : Can't read file header !

Unknown file format, empty/damaged file or file not found !

Note the LACK of an opening " on the initial T: ?

if you sent only a single file, 0465, then that /directory/ opens,
with focus on the file, 0465

normally what would happen is that (single) FILE would open in
thumbnail view


Everything appears to be doing things correctly:

Code: Select all

exec: first expr
exec: command $exec("C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" /thumbs %*)
exec: fullfilename "T:\PICS\0465.jpg" "T:\PICS\0466.jpg"
exec: depth 0
exec: exec "C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" /thumbs %*)
exec: depth 1
exec: got "C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" /thumbs "T:\PICS\0465.jpg" "T:\PICS\0466.jpg"
exec: shellexecute file:C:\BIN\i_view32.exe param:/thumbs "T:\PICS\0465.jpg" "T:
\PICS\0466.jpg"
Parameters '/thumbs "T:\PICS\0465.jpg" "T:\PICS\0466.jpg"'
Directory 'C:\BIN'
File 'C:\BIN\i_view32.exe'
Mask 00000100
Enter ShellExecute
ShellExecute OK
sub buf killed

(I'm not quite sure in what cases this may be generated ?)
IV looks to open a file, C:\Local\RUBEN\Temp\iv_shellext.txt
which has the list of filenames within
;UNICODE FILE
c:\1.jpg $0A$ c:\2.jpg $0A$ c:\3.jpg $0A$ ...


IrfanView

Ah, so that's it.
IV wants the /thumbs command line option to come after the file names.

fail:
C:\out>iv /thumbs "2.png" "3.png"

works:
C:\out>iv "2.png" "3.png" /thumbs

[therube]

In that case if we,
-

$exec("C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" /thumbs %*)

+

$exec("C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" %* /thumbs)

we should be good?


Yes. (Basically.)


With 2 or more files, we're good.

With a single file, that file is opened (non-thumb mode) & also that directory is opened (separately), for some reason?

Code: Select all

COMMAND 41514
exec: first expr
exec: command $exec("C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" %* /thumbs)
exec: fullfilename "C:\out\2.png" "C:\out\3.png"
exec: depth 0
exec: exec "C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" %* /thumbs)
exec: depth 1
exec: got "C:\BIN\i_view32.exe" "C:\out\2.png" "C:\out\3.png" /thumbs
exec: shellexecute file:C:\BIN\i_view32.exe param:"C:\out\2.png" "C:\out\3.png"
/thumbs
Parameters '"C:\out\2.png" "C:\out\3.png" /thumbs'
Directory 'C:\BIN'
File 'C:\BIN\i_view32.exe'
Mask 00000100
Enter ShellExecute
ShellExecute OK
sub buf killed

Just a cursory hint (& like they expect people to actually read ):

Important notes:
...
- Input file name (if required) is always the first parameter (unless /file or /filelist is used)

What is the debug output when you open a single filename?
Is the parameter generated by Everything expected?

[therube]

C:\BIN\i_view32.exe "T:\PICS\000\vendor.gif" /thumbs

Ah, that looks to be an IV issue.
That, run from a C: prompt does the very same thing.

heh, that is an IrfanView "feature" (says so in the Help ).
not quite sure what the usecase is (?), but is expected IV behavior.

- only thing i can fathom is... but that doesn't make sense,
to me a least, since you're requesting a /thumbs, so...
still doesn't make sense?
