Using quotes around the %1 parameter works for me.

using quotes around the %1 parameter cannot work when using directlly the fasmw editor as default editor application, and is a workaround....

Actually it is not a "workaround", it is a requirement since there is no other way to distinguish a single parameter from multiple parameters.

does fasmW need multiple parameters? isn't it just a simple text editor able to open a single file at one. if you try to select multiple files, and rightclic to open them using fasmw, it will open one fasmw per file, then, there is no multiple parameters for the text editor.
it is the same ergonomic problem with every windows versions i tested (from 98 to 8 ) |

If you don't want to use bloated text editors EDIT.COM is the best for you </sarcasm>
IlRC that FASMW supports multiple text files at once, there are tabs at the bottom to switch between them. |

it supports them at run time, but not at startup...

Quote: it supports them at run time, but not at startup... Firstly, as revolution said, fasmw supports multidocument work both at startup and at runtime. Secondly, it does not matter how many arguments an application supports. Spaces must always be enclosed in quotes unless they separate different arguments. It is defined like that. The rationale behind this is that an application always gets at least one argument, which is in a standard case the path to it's executable. Even if an application needs to process only a single additional argument, it still needs to be able to separate it's own path with possible spaces from the following argument. _________________ Faith is a superposition of knowledge and fallacy |

ok, get it, i will try to set it in registry... maybe a .reg file to setup the file types in windows can be cool in order to let "programming only coders" work without carrying about the boring particularity of the os

Quote: maybe a .reg file to setup the file types in windows can be cool It depends a lot on things like OS version (e.g., 32 bit vs. 64 bit) and on some other specifics, because different keys do quite similar stuff. Like you could just replace the default notepad for extensions defined as txtfile. Or you could define an extra type like asmfile or if you already have some other type for the .asm-extension then you just override the existing settings of that type. Therefore some logic beyond the reg-file capabilities is needed to correctly achieve the desired result. Actually I'm not sure, what exactly revolution means with a bug. To make an example. Here's how it could look like: Code: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT + asmfile + (Default):REG_SZ = "Assembler Source" ;this one is just a description shown by the "Set associations" utility + shell + open + command + Default:REG_EXPAND_SZ = "\"%SystemDrive%\\fasm\\fasmw.exe\" \"%1\"" ;the quotes around %1 are actually not necessary here, but you could try it out + .asm + (Default):REG_SZ = "asmfile" ;points to the above key + Content Type:REG_SZ = "text/plain" ;not necessary + PerceivedType:REG_SZ = "text" ;also not necessary. Points to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text with additional definitions like the "edit" verb These settings however could be overridden by the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.asm. Then those won't have any effect and you should adjust smth. like the Progid value in the UserChoice subkey. _________________ Faith is a superposition of knowledge and fallacy |

You are right... half right. I just checked before posting and it somehow worked without quotes and the asterisk. But now I've checked the command line arguments and it was just because explorer started multiple instances (one per selected file) with a singleton Notepad++. The problem is however that "%*" always expands into an empty string. Therefore I'm out of simple suggestions, cause I don't think fasmw is able to prevent multiple instances. _________________ Faith is a superposition of knowledge and fallacy |

Some statements are made to just obtain a quick disproof. _________________ Faith is a superposition of knowledge and fallacy |
