Drop on desktop macro shortcut
#1
when i drop files with only one word as filename on my macro88 shortcut on desktop, then i get
QM command line error: ...F:\tmp\tmp\Cleopatra.avi
when i add a whitespace after filename it works
F:\tmp\tmp\Cleopatra .avi

Macro Macro88
Code:
Copy      Help
out _command

the desktop icon is generated by qm.
("C:\Program Files (x86)\Quick Macros 2\qmcl.exe" M "Macro88")

If dropped file path is without spaces, Windows does not enclose it in double quotes. QM does not recognize such command line.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Quick Macros 2\qmcl.exe" M "Macro88" "file with spaces, works"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Quick Macros 2\qmcl.exe" M "Macro88" file_without_spaces_error

so you got any idea how to bypass this?

Create .exe instead. It receives command line through _command variable.

found a way.

just add manually A to the shortcut
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Quick Macros 2\qmcl.exe" M "Macro88" A

Macro Macro88
Code:
Copy      Help
function $files
out files

Or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Quick Macros 2\qmcl.exe" M "Macro88" C -

When with C, enclosing in " is not necessary.
But when you double click, command line ends with C and nothing more. Error. Therefore i added -. Let macro remove it.

Good thinking, i had double click not in mind.

Thanks!
