Anyone using Double Commander and has succes in opening files from the Tool Bar? [macOS]

Mac
1

I am using Double Commander as my File Manager in mac, coming from Windows I was used to Total Commander.

Now in the Tool Bar I have created a shortcut for Mp3tag, but anything I have tried it will not open the folder or file I have selected.

I have seen the "-a". option with open but that doesn't seem to work either

%p is complete Filename path+filename
%? is showing the command before it's executed.

Thanks for any hints.

Ps: Right click and selecting open with and then selecting Mp3tag.app works

Can you try command open with parameters

-a /Applications/Mp3tag.app/Contents/MacOS/Mp3tag "%p"

I'm not using Double Commander myself, but I think this could work.

Nope. thx for that but nope it doesn't

I posted on the DC forum and asked if they know a solution, but my guess (and that is extremely guessing) that the "-a" should come AFTER the /App/mp3tag.app/contents/...."

But again that is merely guessing and I have already tried that, with all kinds of other parameters as well

Will report back on what the DC forum comes up with.

The developer of DC replied

open with parameters

-a /Applications/Mp3tag.app %p

And that works, that %p is for the selected file(s). Change to %D for current directory
