Title: Steps to: double click in Windows File Explorer to Enqueue an MP3
Post by: winamper on August 14, 2024, 11:31:34 PM
Could someone please give me the exact steps so that...

... when I double click on an MP3 in Windows File Explorer (Windows 11)...

... it Enqueues the MP3 in the only open WACUP instance's Playlist Editor.

I'm using WACUP v1.99.16.19516

Seems it should be possible by now as it's mentioned here:

Thank you in advance.

"It will be supported when WACUP is out of Preview."
Right now it's more than likely not supported, though if you know your way around the registry, you can more than likely add this yourself, that said however, you're on your own with it and I wouldn't recommend doing this if you don't know your way around the registry.

Thank you.

Question: how does one know it's out of preview? Is there a numbering scheme I need to look out for?

Accepting files from the command-line is supported & that's one of the main ways to get files into a program. So you'll need to use either the OSes open with action from explorer & make it be the default from that dialog or nirsoft's tool to do it which'll usually do the same thing to get a basic association setup.

However that doesn't help doing many file actions & some other aspects which afaict require a shell extension & with the mess of OS handling around that to be able to get the full list of files from the OS instead of being clamped to 10-15 iirc. I've not started on that when I could just do the basic association support & offer another half-arsed feature which probably is enough for most but still leaves me with more to do & as things currently stand I've more than enough incomplete features to resolve before adding more to that.

It'll be out of preview when I drop that moniker from the main site & file download pages. I might also keep it & leave that as the public beta with a different build described accordingly but I've not yet decided on what I'll do. And to be brutally honest, even if I drop the preview moniker, it's always going to be effectively beta software.
