I think I got this working well. Basically the way it works now is that use uses DDE to receive the double-clicked filename. This also gives Pd the filename in full unicode, while "%ProgramFiles\pd\bin\pd.exe -open" is still only ASCII or maybe latin1. That unfortunately means that if the file that launches Pd has extended unicode chars in it, that file won't be loaded since its handed to Pd using "pd.exe -open". So the first instance of Pd that starts registers as the DDE server. Then any double-clicked files are sent to the first instance via DDE. Then any other new Pd instances just don't register with DDE. Unlike with GNU/Linux, there is no check whether the current instance should quit since Windows sends the DDE directly, we don't need a tcl program to find the Pd instance and send it a message. .hc _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
