Opens With ?

[autoply]

Hi guys

I'm really new to all this (you could call me a newb....lol ) and am trying to make my first project.


My question is....

I've made some buttons that open playlists (.xspf files) but is there a way to set a default program to open them?



Thanks

Yes, I've posted the lua code a few times and one person took the code & made it a plugin -- give the forums a search.

But i cant get it to work .


I've copied all the files into the plugins folder located in C:/program files/...


Am i doing something wrong

You'll have to deal with the author for the plugin help.
"the lua code' is what you'd use in your ams project to set the extension to program link (ie: click on <this> and open <that>)

they go in their own folder in c:\program files\autoplay menu studio 7.0\plugins\actions\

[autoply]

Thanks again you really have been a big help

The reason the plugin wasn't loading was because i put it in c:\program files\autoplay media studio 7.0\plugins folder and not in the c:\program files\autoplay media studio 7.0\plugins\actions folder


When I've loaded up autoplay media studio i click "project" then "plugins" and put a tick next to the filter but i cant see anything new.


Where should i see the extra options ?


I thought it would be in the "quick action" but i cant see anything :-(

Anyone

They will show up in your actions list that comes up when you press "Add Action" in your script editor. I would suggest reading the manual and then the plugin help. Open AMS and press F1, then press actions to see how AMS uses actions. You can also search this forum for custom file extensions. There are a few examples you will be able to use. If you get stuck post your code and we will be glad to assist you further.

For the easy way out you can use the Project Action Plugin.

And I agree with Scriptonite, read the manual. Familiarize yourself with the basics of AMS and also take advantage of the forum search function.

That plugin is not going to help you setting a default program, that plugin was designed
for L-OOP handling the AMS objects, not for setting a default program

[mystica]

Default program setting can be achieved more simply & directly through the Registry.SetValue function. A quick search of Google will inform you as to which registry-key you need to be dealing with.

Or by using Project.Associate();.
