Add MC to Camera Connected Event
« on: October 04, 2004, 05:11:21 pm »

Does anyone know of a way that I can add MC to the list of programs that Windows lists when I plug in my digital camera?  Specifically, I would like windows to automatically run:

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mjextman.exe /MCC 20014, 1"

When I plug in my USB camera, which should run MC and switch to Acquire Images mode.

I wrote a little windows script to do this, but Windows won't let me register it as a Camera Capable program (erg).  According to Microsoft's web site, the program needs to support it explicity.

Does MC have this capability?  If so, great!  Why isn't it working?  If not, can MC be given this capability easily?  If not, does anyone know how I can associate my script with the Camera's Device Connected event?
