Hollywood:Associate files

AMIGASYSTEM · 04 September 2021, 18:05

I have noticed that Hollywood Applications, some applications that it is not possible to associate a File, from Icon, from Cli or from Dopus4, does anyone know if there is a way to do this.

It's up to programmer of an application how he handles file arguments.

Basically it's very easy in the Hollywood code:
f$ = GetFileArgument(True)

...and you get the filename with a full path given to a program into f$ variable and then you can do whatever you want with it.

So, if you need the file argument support for any program written in Hollywood, just give feedback to the author of the program.

Thanks jPV, as soon as possible I will report to the developers.

There is an application "LoView" that manages to do this via arexx script for Dopus5 but on Dopus4 it seems not to work even if from the translation I understand that it can be done.
