Is anyone here using MultiShortcut to launch Steam games? It seems when I try to launch a Steam game, steam is initially called via steam.exe -applaunch 240 (this is a for instance) to launch CS: Source. Unfortunately, since steam.exe is called and then passes off the launch process to the game all internally, MultiShortcut sees this as a quit of the program and takes the focus away from the game and gives it back to MP. Anyone found a way around this with settings changes or calling steam a different way? Thanks to anyone that's already talked this issue and can help!

With a small hack, you can already do it.
See my article on putting a Windows Screensaver on Home/BasicHome.
You will just replace the screensaver-part with your own program.

Can I use this to start another plugin? Let me explain:

I want to use mp-tvseries with two different databases. Running two copies of that plugin isn't supported. The name and location of the database is in a registry key, so I want to:

1. Set the regkey to a different database
2. Launch mp-tvseries
3. Set the regkey back to the normal location on exit of this copy.

Does this sound possible?

You could do the following

1. Use shortcut'er plugin to map MP TV-SERIES plugin to a hot key combination. So if you press that hotkey combination MPTVSERIES is loaded.
2. Create a macro that alteres the registry to database 1, then sends the hotkey combination that loads MP TVSERIES
3. Create a 2nd macro that alters the registry to database 2, then sends the hotkey command to load MPTVSERIES
4. Move MP TV-Series to the plugin menu
5. Create a multishortcut called MPTVSERIES_1 that points to macro #1
6. Create a multishortcut called MPTVSERIES_2 that points to macro #2

Feature Request: Integration to Context Menu

Hi framug,

very nice plugin, I couldn't live without it.

I have one feature request though: would it be possible to add it to the context menu (e.g. when a video file is selected) and then retrieve the selected file as a parameter?

For example, you want a new context menu entry which says "open with external player". When you click on it it should call the .exe file as configured in the MultiShortcut plugin and also pass the full path of the movie to a variable ("%s" for examle), which you could use to start the player application with that file (e.g. "/path/to/player -file %s").

I can imagine any other scenarios where I would need a file context in combination with the MultiShortcut plugin.

What do you think?

Thanks and best regards,
chimbo

@rekenaar : Nice article, for screensavers

would it be possible to add it to the context menu (e.g. when a video file is selected) and then retrieve the selected file as a parameter?

Hi,
Sorry no, not in MultiShortcut plugin itself.
I could add it by providing some changed MP dll but in this case, I will have to maintain and provide new dll each time when MP changes.
And I already have too much work trying to keep mine up to date.
I hope you will understand.
