"openwith" Multiple instance parameters not working

Post by yogi »

Code: Select all

openwith "Notepad", m;
Selecting multiple items will only open a single file using a single instance

The culprit in this case probably is:
Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | [x] Open files from 64-bit process

Unticked: Works, ticked: not

It is indeed caused by this option
Is this expected behavior?

I don't think SC openwith should honor this setting (Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Open files from 64-bit process). It should have a flag for it instead.

Anyway, it will work with "Open files from 64-bit process" in the next beta.

v25.40.0409 doesn't seem to be fixed and still doesn't work
I tested using "Customize File Associations" and "User Button"

I tested it successfully in Win8.1 and Win10 using openwith "Notepad", m; from the address bar. Try it.

I have the latest Win10 and it works fine with this setup (and did not before my fix in v25.40.0409). I'm out of ideas for now. :|
