Context menu doesn't work with Jubler on Windows
Closed this issue · 6 comments
When I right click on a .srt file and choose 'Open with' Jubler, it
doesn't open Jubler at all.
It also doesn't start if I run C:\Program Files\Jubler\Jubler.exe from
the command line.
It only works if I run java -jar C:\Program Files\Jubler\lib\jubler.jar
I'm using Window 7 64bit, java 1.8.0_221, and Jubler 6.0.2
The ouptut from 'java -jar jubler.jar' is:
Unable to locate language en

Thank you for the thorow report.
I'll have a look at it
Adding to this issue:
If I double clic on a .srt file, the Jubler splash screen appears briefly and then nothing happens. Also, manually opening Jubler from start menu and then double click on a .srt file still does nothing. I have to use File > Open or drag the subtitle.
I confirm that on my system I have the same behavior. I have found that this is a problem with Launch4J . I even tried to rollback to previous versions but none of them worked reliable any more. If, instead of linking to the jubler executable, link to the javaw.exe directly, the problem disappears (but then we loose the nice application icon).
The forum there seems dead and nobody answers the problems. I am afraid the only thing I could do is to disable the file association under windows -- this is not an optimal solution but at least it would be consistent.
Of course any more ideas are more than welcome.
One more note: on their documentation clearly states:
Command line arguments cannot be passed to the executable
I think this used to work in the past, maybe something broke in the meantime
Please have a look at the latest version -- I tried my own windows launcher, hope it works :)

Works for me, too. Thanks!
