Possible to open Artwork directly in Irfan

Can I configure Foobar2000 that it opens Artwork that is inside the folder with the MP3s directly with Irfan View ?
I have foo_run installed. The frontcover ends always with *01.jpg

Thanks in advance
Alex

Hi,

under "Service properties" - "Path" use:

Quote
"C:\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe" "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*01.jpg"


If necessary adjust the path to "i_view32.exe".

People always forget $directory_path():

Quote
"C:\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe" "$directory_path(%path%)\*01.jpg"

one more question: where do I have to put the "/fs" when I want to open in the fullscreen modus ?

Thanks very much in advance.

It should work whether you add it directly after the i_view32.exe (after the double quote) or at the very end of the string. I don't have IrfanView installed to test, though.

Cit from IrfanView's help, chapter Command Line Options (Notes):

Quote
Wildcards (*) supported only for /convert, /print, /info and /jpg_rotate

So this works:
"C:\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe" "$directory_path(%path%)\01.jpg" /fs

and this does not:
"C:\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe" "$directory_path(%path%)\*01.jpg" /fs

Try this instead:
"C:\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe" /slideshow="$directory_path(%path%)\*01.jpg"

If the picture should be displayed in normal window only on your computer, choose from IrfanView's main menu File, Slideshow and set Play mode to "Play in full screen mode (current monitor)". Than play an arbitrary slideshow and exit IrfanView. (This step is necessary, because IrfanView does not accept in its command line parameters to combine /slideshow with /fs).

I have tested it on my machine and it works.
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.
