cytan: There is now a command line app as I think you wish for, or will be
shortly, soon as the Hobbes guy okays it, I guess.
It's yet another variation on my file selector / browser which is general
purpose, editable for associations (by manual editing of the REXX code) to
launch a program depending on file extension. Only a BETA but useful, such as
a front-end for TEDIT.EXE when looking for documentation. Been debating on it
for some time; your post nudged me a bit.
Look for GFSBETA.ZIP at:
http://hobbes2.nmsu.edu/h-browse.php?dir=/pub/incoming&sort=dateIf you have the latest MPlayer, which I've found preferable to all previous,
can add it and its types, however, it's a big advantage to have the files
filtered to videos as in a previous selector for K Movie Player:
http://hobbes2.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/apps/mmedia/video/players/kmpfs10.zipThis is my current list of known file types for MPlayer:
'*.avi *.wmv *.mpg *.mpeg *.mov *.flv *.rm *.rmvb *.m4v *.asf *.mp4'
May be yet others; I've yet to find documentation. Test by switching filter
off (uppercase 'F'), so that all file types are shown, then <enter> on the
suspected type.
Incidentally, to anyone looking deep into the REXX code, believe I've fixed a
longstanding bug when starting on an empty directory. Previous versions don't
need to be modified because was worked around, but should now be a bit less
finicky for general use.
