> [@Sparky](#): > > I tested with commands > > / add "% \_filename\_ext%" and I get a warning that does not find the file I don't use this software but I had a look at the website [http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/wavepa...ommandline.html](http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/wavepad/win/commandline.html) and I can not see a parameter "/add". As far as I understand the ducumentary to open a file it is only necessary to use wavepad.exe [file(s) to edit] So it should only be necessary to write "C:\Program Files\NCH Software\WavePad\wavepad.exe" to the path-field and to write %\_path% to the parameter-field. Also there is a remark: "Note: This feature is only available in WavePad Master's Edition." ---

Thank you! I have the master version of that program. I have tested the parameter: % \_path% % \_filename\_ext% "%\_path%\%\_filename\_ext" and I only get the program to open, but it does not load the track because it says it can not be found Some more idea? Thanks!!! PD: Can a keyboard shortcut be assigned to each configured tool? Gracias! Yo tengo la versión master de ese programa. he probado el parametro: %\_path% %\_filename\_ext% "%\_path%\%\_filename\_ext" y solo consigo que se abra el programa, pero no carga la pista porque dice que no la encuentra Alguna idea mas? Gracias pd: Se puede asignar un atajo de teclado para cada herramienta configurada? ---

Hi Sparky, could you first clearify the exact syntax for a command line call for that program that you intend to use? You then tell us what it looks like and the forum will most likely help you to map that to a tools call. The current approach is absolutely pointless as it features only trial and error as technique - and this could go on forever. ---

Hello, Sorry for my English, I'm using a translator. What I intend is that when using the mp3tag tool open me and load the song in the WavePad software for your edition. Effectively I can only use the trial and error technique because I do not handle programming language. sorry ---
