I like it very much.Here's a little problem, I've noticed. This seems to be a bug in X-Launcher (all versions). The below samples show that X-Launcher does not interpret its command-line parameter (filenames) the right way.I'm not sure about it. But I think that X-Launcher should always give the full path of filenames to the executed application (see examples below). Another way: Maybe it can be done by setting the working directory. But I don't know what happens if you're using two files from different directories. Have a nice day.zoi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Test 1:---------------------------------------------------------------------------x-WinMerge taken from -Link- 15 ottobre 2009 - 00:25:54 1. x-WinMerge started from CommandLine (Cmd, FarManager, ...) 'Dir: C:\X-WinMerge\' 'Cmd: X-WinMerge.exe X-WinMerge.ini X-WinMerge2.ini' 2. Result: x-WinMerge does not start right. - it opens "File Open"-Window - Showing 'Left: C:\X-WinMerge\Bin\WinMerge\X-WinMerge.ini X-WinMerge2.ini' in "File Open"-Window for Left side. This is terrible because WinMerge cannot handle this single kind of filename. Should be: 'Left: C:\X-WinMerge\Bin\WinMerge\X-WinMerge.ini' 'Right: C:\X-WinMerge\Bin\WinMerge\X-WinMerge2.ini' 3. No Problem when using winmerge directly: 'Dir: C:\X-WinMerge\' 'Cmd: C:\X-WinMerge\Bin\WinMerge\WinMerge.exe X-WinMerge.ini X-WinMerge2.ini' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Test 2:--------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-FoxitReader launcher 1.4.2 [rev10] taken from -Link- 13 ottobre 2010 - 13:40:23 1.

[FileToRun] (...) WorkingDir=@WorkingDir@
in the X-WinMerge.ini and X-FoxitReader.ini files, and see if this changes their behaviors as you desire...Please, try and let us know if it works for you!Best RegardsZioZione http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?46409 2026-03-16T09:22:05+01:00 zoi Thanks, ZioZione. I've tried your advice. 'X-FoxitReader' works fine now. I do not really understand that. I've played around with so many parameters, changing directories and filenames in every single way. But there were no lacks. What does the working dir has to do with files in different locations? But, at last, it does work.'X-WinMerge' still has it's problems:Test:Direct start of 'X-WinMerge.exe' in 'C:\WinMerge\'Cmd: X-WinMerge.exe X-WinMerge.ini X-WinMerge2.ini -> same errorCmd: X-WinMerge.exe C:\WinMerge\X-WinMerge.ini C:\WinMerge\X-WinMerge2.ini -> same errorDirect start of 'WinMerge.exe' in 'C:\WinMerge\'Cmd: C:\WinMerge\Bin\WinMerge\WinMerge.exe X-WinMerge.ini X-WinMerge2.ini -> okMaybe there are different causes for the problems? http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?46409 2026-03-16T09:22:05+01:00 Energy Hi zoi,X-WinMerge launcher is version 1.4, with the new version 1.4.2 the problem is solved.It will be updated as soon as possible. http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?46409 2026-03-16T09:22:05+01:00 zandet2 Hi zoi, X-WinMerge is now in download with the new launcher 1.4.2, please check if the bug is finally solved.Thanks for your help.Best regards http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?46409 2026-03-16T09:22:05+01:00 zoi Now it works - nearly.cmd: X-WinMerge.exe X-WinMerge.ini X-WinMerge2.ini -> X-WinMerge.exe tries to locate those files in the directory of the original exe.I've added the following lines (like ZioZione said)[FileToRun]....WorkingDir=@WorkingDir@Now it works fine. X-WinMerge.exe has to be re-released one more time, i think.Thank you all for you help. http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?46409 2026-03-16T09:22:05+01:00 ZioZione Hi zoi,the last released X-WinMerge package is already correct for normal use. The only difference betweeen this one and previous is the correction of management of paths with spaces in their names.The solution I depicted above is for using X-WinMerge in batch processing, that is surely less diffuse (and required), and allow the interested users (like you) to perform particular jobs. Anyway, I hope you appreciate it Best RegardsZioZione
