pass on filename as parameter?

[joshatt]

Hi,
I want to write a code, guessing it may be only 1 or 2 lines, but I just don't know how to do it.
I want to compile it into an exe. There's a software, it has an function to run this exe while sending some photo file's filename(including path) to this exe, then this exe will pass the photo file on to (and run) Photoshop.exe.
Of course this software can send the photo file directly to photoshop, but there's a bug about filename encoding, so that's my purpose here to introduce a middle tool.

Is it possible? Please help me.

So you select some files (in explorer I assume), then want to send those to your compiled autohotkey script and the script passed them on to Photoshop?

Selected files to script:
See "Script Parameters" here https://autohotkey.com/docs/Scripts.htm#cmd so you can call your "script.exe file1 file2 etc"
Google the forum on how to get a list of selected files in Explorer (tip: just look at the clipboard page for the easiest method as it is simply ^c and parse the clipboard)

Now you have them in your script as variables, you can now pass these on to photoshop using:
- the run command run photoshop %file1%
- perhaps drag & drop - see code by nimda https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/7914 ... ntry502676

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. I'll take some time to learn.
