Hi,
i tried to open the GPS Coordinates from a (example) Picture via left-click on a defined column..

i followed the how-to from here

But it wouldn't open the Browser with Gmaps...
Meaning: If left-clicked, open the cell content with Google Maps, otherwise (usually when the list is loaded) fill the cell with GPS data extracted from the Exif data of each file.
Do i something wrong?
Thx in advance!

It seems to be a problem with open the Browser from XYplorer (portable), because I try this script and there too doesn't do anything..

Well, I use this one and it works with Firefox as default browser:
Code: Select all
|"Open Exif Location in Google Maps" jpg;tiff> open "https://www.google.com/maps/place/" . get("exif", "gps");
and you probably need to make sure that the files you test this with actually have location info stored in their exif data.

Works fine here (with Edge).
Run this through the XY address bar:
Again nothing?

And something like this (directly executed) doesn't work as well?
Code: Select all
openwith "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe", , "https://www.google.com/";
Can't see your screenshots, imgur doesn't like vpn connections so replace msedge with the full path to your used browser .exe...

Sorry, I didn't know it with Imgur!
With the direct path, it works

Is your browser registered as the default one and does it include the https protocol?
Btw, your coordinates probably wouldn't work anyway, at least here on a german locale with "," instead of "." in the coordinates, google wouldn't find them.
So the original script should at least require a change like this:
Code: Select all
$gps = replace(<cc_cell>, ",", "."); open "https://www.google.com/maps/place/$gps";

2 highend | @ all
First, thank you for your effort.
Really I like XYplorer more & more; on the first time it was for me a little bit like I stand in the jungle (probably because I use TCMD since 11Â years), but after reading all the XY-Release pages it is clearer for me.
I looked up for the Standard apps configuration on Windows, but it is all correctly.

I corrected the settings in the script string. However, it doesn't work -> maybe there is still more another hack to check?!

No, this was just a general comment, no solution to the actual problem that
open doesn't work on your system like it should.
I've written a small wrapper that should solve it:
Download the attachment, extract it, copy the .exe somewhere and remember it's path.
Use this cc script instead:
Code: Select all
if (<cc_trigger>==1) {
$wrapper = "D:\Tools\XYplorer\@Tools\Open GPS coordinates.exe";
$browser = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe";
run lax("$wrapper" "$browser" <cc_cell>);
} else {
return get("exif", "gps", <cc_item>);
}
Adapt the path for the
$wrapper variable and the
$browser variable to your vivaldi.exe (full path ofc!).
Works fine here...

Hi again,
i have done what you say and edited the path to my Vivaldi.exe and Open GPS coordinates.exe.
Code: Select all
if (<cc_trigger>==1) {
$wrapper = "C:\Xyplorer\Tools\Open GPS coordinates\Open GPS coordinates.exe";
$browser = "C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe";
run lax("$wrapper" "$browser" <cc_cell>);
} else {
return get("exif", "gps", <cc_item>);
}
But Vivaldi seems not would give anything of these instructions.
Because of that, I put the Path from Edge in there, so I have what I searched for, and it works perfect -> without Vivaldi!

Your Vivaldi is borked and that's probably the same reason why open doesn't work with it anymore.
I can use mine (7.4.3684.50) with the cc script and it opens the url with the coordinates flawlessly^^

Damn, you are right again!
Download and installing Vivaldi new and the cc script runs easy going.
I updated my Vivaldi inside since the first day of it…therefore I have learned a new property from it.
Sometimes can't see the forest for the trees.
