Unexpected Command Line Parameter

Hello, this is my first post here, so bear with me. :)

Firstly, thank you for this awesome software. I did try it before, but didn't really have the time to go through so many features, but now I'm working my way around things and it is really fabulous.

Ok, so I have created a 'Catalog" and have added a command line entry to launch File Locator Pro, a search utility. By passing the -d parameter I can prefix the path to auto load in the software. Either for a directory or selected files. My command is as follows:

"Q:\Portable-Software\FileLocatorPro\FileLocatorPro.exe" -d <selitem>

For multiple files I also pass:

"Q:\Portable-Software\FileLocatorPro\FileLocatorPro.exe" -d <selitems ;>

It works as it should, but each time I click the link for the software I keep getting a message saying "Unexpected Command Line Parameter". Then the software opens as it should. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Sorry, not sure.

Thank you.
S.

Those selected item paths contains space(s)? Quote them...
"<selitems ;>"

Thank you for the reply. I had tried that. I have sorted it though. With the "Open Selected List Item(s) with Application" you don't need to include the <selitem> var. Once I removed it, the error went away. I guess <selitem> is assumed. :)

For the mulitple files, <selitems ;> is fine, but the option "Open Item" shouldbe used instead. So, all good. :)
