Hi

I tried to enhance XMplay's integration with Windows Shell - I wanted to have way to open/enqueue whole folder in xmplay with right-click. I entered following entries to registry - but it doesn't work :(

The question is: should I do something else or just dde code of XMPlay must be enhanced?

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\XMPlay.Play]
@="Play in &XMPlay"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\XMPlay.Play\command]
@="c:\\winprogz\\XMPlay\\xmplay.exe"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\XMPlay.Play\ddeexec]
@="[open(%1)]"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\XMPlay.Play\ddeexec\Application]
@="xmplay"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\XMPlay.Enq]
@="Enqueue in X&MPlay"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\XMPlay.Enq\command]
@="c:\\winprogz\\XMPlay\\xmplay.exe"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\XMPlay.Enq\ddeexec]
@="[list(%1)]"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\XMPlay.Enq\ddeexec\Application]
@="xmplay"

IMO you have to set the whole stuff to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder instead of \Directory.

QuoteIMO you have to set the whole stuff to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder instead of \Directory.

I don't think so, I guess \Folder is Explorer specific. At least WinAmp and ACDSee use \Directory.

When I set up it the way I mentioned before - it almost works - the menus are visible and wen selected XMPlay is focused (I guess it means it received dde message) but nothing more happens.

The 2.6 ZIP file has been updated, with support for opening directories via DDE, so your registry settings should work now.

The "24/32bit output - cant make it work" problem Dan had is fixed too, atleast I think that's what he said :)

Yeah, it works :) Thanks Ian :D

Btw, I have an idea but I start a new thread...
