UDC - Load Irfanview slideshow with a specific filetype

Post by WordBaron »

What I am trying to do seems to not work properly. I'm trying to load Irfanview using the folder I'm viewing, and only view those files of the same filetype I have specified by my currently highlighted item. The text I have specified for the "Application" textbox is as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe" /slideshow="<curpath>\*.<curext>"

It doesn't seem to work however. I use the full command from other programs and it launches the slideshow as expected. Am I doing something wrong?

(Also, for further debugging, I've found that a plain old "C:\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe" /slideshow="<curpath>" does work to do most of what I want, but won't work after I've tried running the more detailed option above in the same folder. If I navigate to a different folder and then come back to it and try option #2 again, it once again works.)

Try it in the "Item" textbox of UDC Open instead of "Application" textbox of Open With.
