Error sending file path containing special characters?

Post by *zeronofreya »

Command: D:\xxx\NeeView.exe
Parameters: %p%s
open "e:\xxx・xxx.zip"
Error msg:
can not find "e:\xxx?xxx.zip"

NeeView can open "e:\xxx・xxx.zip", problems with neeview can be eliminated


What should I do?

Please do not suggest changing the file name, this should not be the correct solution, thanks!

If you don't want 8.3 filenames don't use %p%s, but instead use %P%S.

Usually only drive C: supports 8.3 filenames on modern computers - so use %P%S instead of %p%s as also suggested by White.

You can't and you shouldn't - it can be of benefit for others.

If you want, you can edit your first post and change the subject. This will also be the new topic title. For example, you could add "solved".
