I am looking for a standard Microsoft Windows program which will open a file using the associated program according to the Windows file association subsystem. Basically, I am looking for a way to open an image file via its file association (similar to what happens if a file is double-clicked in the file browser), and do it from the command line. This needs to work for Windows XP and later. Can someone help?

Hi Bob, I think what you're looking for is: cmd.exe /c filename Thanks, Glenn Woodruff Cine-tal -----Original Message----- From: Bob Friesenhahn [mailto:bfriesen@...] Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2010 4:29 PM To: GraphicsMagick Help Subject: [GM-help] Need a way to open a file by association under Windows I am looking for a standard Microsoft Windows program which will open a file using the associated program according to the Windows file association subsystem.

Unfortunately, when GraphicsMagick creates a temporary file, it does not have a useful extension so it does not work. This approach also seems to cause a dire security problem since it will also invoke executables. Perhaps I should be directly invoking the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" instead since it should know how to test to see what the file really is. I seem to be successful with syntax like this: cmd.exe /c rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen file Is there something better?

From memory, the command is something like "start filename.png". But yes, I think you need a correct file extension.

It seems that using the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" should be good enough to start with. It is more sophisticated than 'gmdisplay' for viewing and printing an image. Unfortunately, the program always displays the name of the temporary file that GraphicsMagick creates and there does not seem to be a way to supply an alternate title. The GraphicsMagick Windows setup installer has become a bit more slim and trim, with a download file size of 4.8MB vs 12.56MB for the equivalent ImageMagick installer.
