Opus 9: Dragging a file onto a program icon doesn't open it

Help & Support
1

Sometimes I want to open a file in a program other than the default, so I created a program toolbar with shortcuts to various programs. I was hoping that dragging a file onto a program icon would open the file in that program, but it only launches the program, without opening the file.

I know I can right click and choose Open with, but dragging is a lot faster. Anyone know if it's possible to do this?

Edit the button you've made for the program and change its command from

"C:\blah\Program.exe"

to

"C:\blah\Program.exe" {allfilepath}

(This assumes the program can be run with one or more filenames as arguments, which is true for most programs.)

Worked perfectly - thanks a lot!
