Quickview Pro and DISPLAY.

Open Cubic Player

Do commanders support something like "open with" depending on the file extension?

Mpxplay also has a browser iirc

yes, for DOS i would use Norton Commander with its extension association.

i used to play .mod musics, or play emulated gameboy, viewing pictures files that way.

It's good (very good) but it can't recognize mp3s with ID3V2 tags.
But it's open source, so this problem is theoretically fixable. (and ogg support would be good, too)

I think it should be a media player for dos like kodi external players. You can enqueue a whole directory subtreesearch to sbvgm.exe and dosmid.exe (no m3u please) with a click of the keyboard. Maybe there is a winamp dos version,

OCP really ? you could use the file selector of OCP and use an external player ? that would be great, "the man" had a good file selector

I did used OCP this afternoon for some reason and I had to edit cp.ini, so I took a particular attention about multi-player support. I found that it could do it. But there is a catch, I would like to use different player or configuration for a given file extension. For instance, on a computer I have sb1.5 with C/MS, GUS classic and mt-32 (I know this list is overkill for my example, but I like to enumerate stuff), So let say I would like to register player 1 to be DOSMID.EXE with the /sbmidi to use the mt32. External player 2 would be just that with the /opl parameters to use the sb1.5.

Mpxplayer I dont think 2.61 for dos support external players... too bad seem to make great playlist...

I havent found how to support external player quick QuickView, I dont think it does.

Funny norton command is not included in norton utility 8 for dos. This software seem awesome, no wonder why it inspired so much other file browser. But all I can seem to find from the readme.txt is how to define a viewer for a specific file type. Tool menu is just a list of shortcut to defined programs, not even related to the select file or directory... 😮 I was expecting more from such a program (I found the 5.51 version).

I found Dos Navigator that was somewhat better at handling files and directory with external player, maybe I'll fiddle with it a bit some more later.
