Always on top

[ivan]

...no, this is not my spring-inspired hormones talking, I'm dead serious.

I was wondering if there is any way to make sure that if I open a file then it automatically opens on top of the current XYplorer window. Currently, say I have a video file that finished playing in VLC. The program simply stops and reduces itself to a smaller size. Then I go into XYplorer, double-click on the next file and the player window open in the background, which isn't quite what I want. Is there a solution? Thanks in advance...

Could it be a problem with / property of your dvd software? Because generally apps are foregrounded when a new file is opened.

There is a setting in VLC player that says always on top, but that keeps it on top even when no file is playing. I don't want that. What I'm after is to be on top when the file is open which it doesn't do if player has already been launched. I can understand the difficulties in this because the process is already running, I think XYplorer should have a setting that would pass to player with "open to foreground" parameters.

Here is a bit of code from VLC player wiki:

Code: Select all

--video-on-top, --no-video-on-top
                                 Always on top (default disabled)
          Always place the video window on top of other
          windows. (default disabled)
