XYplorer Beta Club

Hi
i would like to customize files association only for xyplorer
i mean i want to keep windows video files association (in short keep to open with media player)
but i would like to open video files inside xyplorer with vlc

i guess i can do it , right?
in the preference there is no option
but under tools customize files association

how can i add all the video files and open with a 2 click inside xyplorer with vlc?

thanks

You can use the portable associations feature, Tools... > Customize File Associations

Specify a new entry that looks like this example Mpeg, avi and so on are all the extensions you would like to be played by VLC, separate them with a semicolon,
then there is a greater than sign and finally a full path to the vlc.exe executable (adjust to reflect your own system).
This is a pretty basic example, the syntax is more flexible (and complex) and it's fully explained in the manual

Code: Select all

mpeg;avi;wmv>C:\path\to\vlc.exe

yes thanks
but xyplorer can find video files or filter without add manually video extensions
so i thought could be a way to add a macro command like video>C:\...\vlc.exe

There's no such macro. But I have a fairly comprehensive list of file extension:
