I can't seem to find this, but it might be a useful addition to Beyond Compare. Is there a way to launch Beyond Compare from a protocol handler natively without creating one myself? For example, the 'mailto://' protocol handler opens your default email client and can pass query parameters to populate fields. The only way I know currently to have a user's local copy of Beyond Compare to open to a pre-set grouping of files is to have them download a .bat file that calls on the existing CLI interface. This isn't ideal as there is the middle group of the .bat file.
Ideally there would be something like a 'beyondcompare://' protocol handler that would allow the same query parameters that the CLI currently handles which would allow posing a link on a page that opens the files of interest locally without the .bat middle man.
Is this something worth adding to as a new feature? The CLI and scripting is great in Beyond Compare, but there isn't a way to load something from an intranet page easily. Thanks.
