I am trying to configure TextPad in the "Open With" section of options and am having problem sending the second file. I can type the following command-line at the command prompt, and all is good with textpad:

TextPad.exe "D:\D1\f1.ext"(3,0) "D:\D2\f2.ext"(3,0) /av

However, when I attempt to configure this as such, it fails:

TextPad.exe "%f"(%l,0) "%f"(%l,0) /av

Texpad loads the first file with no problems, but has problems loading the second file. It seems to be a blank name being passed causing the problem. The "Open With" dialog says that to pass both files (right & left), specify %f/%l twice... What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Brandon

In the folder viewer the Open With command depends on the currently active selection. To pass both files you'll need to select them both too.

Well that makes perfect sense. Thanks!
