Open Dialog Box for TV: open unsupported file formats in external programs

[hugbug]

Hi,

as we already discussed here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), KMP does not support playing of DVD-ISO. It is not a problem, if you have Daemon Tools, but you need to load the ISO-image to Daemon Tools manually.

As a HTPC-user I use "Open Dialog for TV" to open files. To attach iso-image to Daemon Tools I need to take the keyboard of my htpc, which I normally do not use, because all other tasks in KMP I can do with only remote control unit.

It would be great if KMP could run Daemon Tools automatically, if an iso-file was selected. We do not need a special support for Daemon Tools, what we need is a new option to list extensions, for which an external program should be called (the good place for this option is under "Preferences -> Assotion/Capture -> Extensions"). If a such file was selected, kmp should call standard Explorer's open-action for the file (I guess via "ShellApi(0, 'open', filename,..." ).

Could it be implemented? It is not too much work but would be very helpful.

Thank you very much!

Hi z,

I hope this feature was just forgotten in the latest beta and not intentionally rejected.

Give me a hope please ;)

I'm sorry to say that you are right. This feature was dropped by the author intentionally. I don't know the reason exactly but he doesn't like that feature.

It's sad :(
This means, that Open Dialog Boxes for TV are not suitable to open a half of my movies.
I think everybody who uses Open Dialog Boxes for TV would like to have the feature.
Anyway thanks for your response!
