...and the tool does not work, because of cyrillic letters. My OS is Win7 hungarian.
Is there a solution? Workaround exists: Total Commander x64 open all files without problem -- but some time is more comfortable to use the windows explorer.
I am not sure if this has something to do with the character set that you have in the tags and that what the OS uses.
So if you have ISO-encoding in the tags, it may be worthwhile to try to convert them to UTF encoding or vice versa.
It seems, the behavior is associated not with the tags, but the path. Removing all tags changes nothing.
From Mp3tag I can not it send to windows explorer -- explorer allways opens C:\Users\MyName folder. For the same these (and any) files from foobar, using Florian's foo_run, I can open their folders without any problem. And opening the file, or its folder from Mp3tag works for Total Commander, IrfanView, Spek, foobar, Firefox -- only Explorer does not.
But I noticed: problematic are not cyrillic letters themselves, but cyrillic letters with accents.
OK, but my suggestion has nothing to do with creating new files.
And just to be clear, the tool does not create new files.
The tool uses 8dot3 file names that have already been created by the Windows operating system.
They are available for use as file specifications instead of the long file names you see in File Explorer.
The task is solved for me. The only reason, I sometimes wanted to use Win Explorer, was my lack of knowledge. The tool always opened a new TC window -- to work in it, instead of the previously set one, and to lock it after, is very uncomfortable. However, now I found the appropriate switch for TC: "C:\Program Files\totalcmd\TotalCmd64.exe" /O /T "%_path%". It opens a new tab at the end on the active side of the existing TC process. At the end of my work I double-click on this tab to close -- and that is all.
From that point on, fortunately, we can forget about the billgates patchwork.
