Open Application With File

[RNIB]

I need to open a file in a particular application. If you launch the application first and go to File>Open, there isn't a field where you can add the path to the file. Instead you a tree view which you have to scroll through with your mouse to locate the file.

To get around this I thought I could launch the application with the file by using:

RunProgram>C:\Program Files (x86)\Dolphin\Publisher353\Publisher.exe %str_root_folder%\ncc.html

Unfortunately when I do this, Publisher gives me a message saying that it cannot open it as one or more of the files are Read Only. None of them are Read Only. If I launch Publisher and then open the file manually, it opens perfectly.

Is there another way I can open a file with a specific application?

Tested this?

Code: Select all

RunProgram>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dolphin\Publisher353\Publisher.exe" "%str_root_folder%\ncc.html"

Unfortunately that produces the same 'read only' message.

I can work around it by setting Publisher as the default application for .html files and then use the ExecuteFile command but I'd rather not change the default application as this will be a macro run on multiple different PC's where doing this wouldn't be ideal.

What happens if you rename the file by slapping a .PUB on the end of it then run ExecuteFile>

Unfortunately I can't do that as I have to keep the existing extension for the file to load correctly in the selected program.
