SmartImage not opening from context menu
Xanawatt opened this issue · comments
Hi, I placed the executable in my system %PATH% location (C:) and then ran the command as administrator to add the context menu (SmartImage --ctx-menu). When I try to right click a file and click the SmartImage option, it just opens the default "How would you like to open this file" window. Is there a step I am missing? Did I place the executable in the right location?
I'm aware of this issue. I'm trying to figure this out.
This has been fixed in the most recent version. I had accidentally used my personal executable path in the registry command. It should work now!
I get this error when running "SmartImage --ctx-menu" now:
Unhandled exception. System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'path1') at System.IO.Path.Combine(String path1, String path2) at SmartImage.Config.GetExecutableLocation() at SmartImage.Config.CreateBatchFile() at SmartImage.Config.AddToContextMenu() at SmartImage.Cli.<>c.<.cctor>b__20_3(String[] args) at SmartImage.Program.Main(String[] args)
Try the latest version.
Alright, I get this now when I run the same thing:
× Could not locate SmartImage.exe in system path.
Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

C: is not included in the system %PATH% by default. %PATH% is an environment variable in Windows (I'm not sure if you know how environment variables work, but you can read about them here).
I was planning on simplifying things by automatically adding the program's current directory to %PATH% eventually so users don't have to mess with it (it's not very user-friendly). I'll update it with this feature shortly.
Ohhh, that makes sense. Now that I have done that, it works perfectly now!
Great! Thanks for using SmartImage!
