I just wanted to note that the latest change to the aflauncher.exe now works fine for me with Lightroom 6.14 - and, yes, all the paths to my image files have spaces in them so the new version has addressed that. 

Thanks to Serif staff (and others on the Forum) for helping to quickly sort this.

Perhaps an aflaunch for pub and designer are also in order.
Just for the ease of mind for people trying to rightclick to open downloads or files in explorer or dam.

It's mentioned in my link, but you can use -a Publisher2 to launch Publisher. Though I know some DAM apps don't let you specify additional arguments, so I will look at dedicated launcher apps for each.

Hi just an idea, you could make a single laucher and based on the filename it lauches the specific app.

So you can just copy the same exe and name it apublaucher.exe for publisher or aphotolauncher.exe for Photo.

Or use a configfile.

Thanks, Mark, for the recent update that enabled aflauncher to accept filenames with spaces.

I finally have Faststone Image Viewer working with APhoto2. I open Aphoto almost exclusively from Faststone, so this was a big issue for me.

Also I have Walt Farrel's .bat file working finally after fighting with Windows and Avast One. I'm happier now.

I just tested it and modified the launcher to behave like I said (switched by how the exe is named) and found 2 problems:

 

1st

if I launch the other old launcher with this as argument (yes I experimented a bit), Photo2 crashes:
 

affinityphoto2.exe "I:\TEMP\affinity2\Alice\\""

 

2nd

the current aflaunch "modifies" the arguments as it adds surrounding quotes that can make a difference and so I found the other crash ^^

this crashes the current aflaunch:

aflaunch.exe -a Photo2 -b Retail I:\TEMP\affinity2\Alice\

 

btw: I just tried how it behaves if I give a directory as argument and usually the message is that this filetype is not supported ...
