I can't seem to add another program to the "Send To (External)" list.  It shows up OK in the "Manage External Tools" dialog box when I first add an item, but once I close the dialog box, it disappears for good.

Any suggestions?

Scott,

Can you post all the information you've entered into Manage external tools dialog.

Nikolay

[sraymond]

Yes, sir:

Code: [Select]

Name:  Explorer
Program Path:  C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
Parameters:  /select,[FILENAME]
But an older one I'd entered months ago works fine:

Code: [Select]

Name:  Photoshop Elements
Program Path:  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2\PhotoshopElements.exe
Parameters:  [FILENAME]
I tried using just the parameter of [FILENAME] with no luck.

Scott,

if it can give you any clue,
I was able to add the external tool you specified (explorer) using MC 9.1.299.

BTW is there a list of possible arguments that can be passed to external progams apart from [FILENAME] ? Would any MC field in the form [Comment] be Ok ?

Christian

Maybe a problem with my registry then?

Scott-

[Nikolay]

Scott,

We can't reproduce it. Remove registry entries at location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JRiver\Media Jukebox\External Tools. Let us know if that helps.

Christian,

The only supported parameter is [FILENAME].

Nikolay

[Cmagic]

The only supported parameter is [FILENAME].

Ok, thanks Nikolay !

[sraymond]

Nikolay,

Thanks for the help...  there were some extra keys (named Exp, Explor, etc.) at that location.  Deleting all the keys solved the problem.
