Passing file paths: FORCE quotes?

Help & Support
3

There's no way to force quotes around {allfilepath}, only for the codes that emit a single path/name at a time.

With sep=x, the x can only be one character as well. (That was added for a program that needed * between paths.)

It's unusual for a program to require quotes around paths that don't contain spaces. This seems like a PotPlayer issue to me, more than anything. I'd be surprised if many other programs needed the same thing.

Using scripting is a good workaround for that kind of thing. I would use a simpler script in the button itself (no script add-in):

function OnClick(clickData)
{
	var cmdLine = '"C:\\Program Files\\DAUM\\PotPlayer\\PotPlayerMini64.exe"'

	var selected = clickData.func.sourcetab.selected;
//	if (selected.count == 0) return; -- to block launching the program with no paths

	for (var eSel = new Enumerator(selected); !eSel.atEnd(); eSel.moveNext())
	{
	//	if (eSel.item().is_dir) continue; -- if you want to skip dirs
		cmdLine += ' "';
		cmdLine += eSel.item().RealPath;
		cmdLine += '"';
	}

	var cmd = clickData.func.command;
	cmd.ClearFiles();
	cmd.RunCommand(cmdLine);
//	DOpus.Output(cmdLine); -- for testing
}
