[QUOTE="2.0, post: 992182, member: 118263"] [B]Feature Request:[/B] [B]Launch (execute) files.[/B] I just started using this plugin and I think it's very useful. It would be even more useful if it had a feature to launch files such as .exe, .bat, .lnk etc. The reason I would like to see this feature is because I have several .bat files which I use to automate certain processes on my HTPC. I used the MyPrograms plugin to launch these .bats in MePo 1.2, but this plugin no longer works in MePo 1.3 and I cannot get MultiShortcut to work no matter how hard I try. I'm no programmer, but I think that implementing this feature should be pretty straightforward. When you select a file and press the Info button on the remote, there could be a "Launch File" option. Then the files will run in the background while MePo is still active. It would be a great way for users to create a custom batch script to copy/move files in the background while MePo is running, such as olli14 and dqv69 have been requesting. [/QUOTE]
