Hi guys, can anyone tell me if and how I can start a batch file from within MP?

TIA

Hi there

You can use the Multishortcut plugin much similar to this instructions for a screensaver. I have not tested bat files myself, but my guess is that it would work.

Hi rekenaar

Thank you VERY MUCH for pointing me to this utility that I've seem to have overlooked
Had done search in the forum as well browsed through the plugins and didn't find anything.

I tried it immediately and it's exactly what I needed and yes: it also runs bat/cmd files!



ps: does your name really mean 'calculator' since here in dutch, that's what it's translated into.

 

[rekenaar]

glad it worked.

Well the Afrikaans to English translation would be computer. Years ago when I needed to choose a username on some other forum, it was the 1st thing that caught my eye and it's been with me eversince
