cmd file and python script works - send to doesn't (windows 10) #59

Hi again.

Ok, so I got the script to work now. I followed the instructions putting the cmd file in the send to directory. Right clicking a movie and sending it to the cmd file just flashes a black windows (command prompt) really quickly with nothing happening. If I call the cmd directly it works like a charm. I've tried adding pause statements in the cmd to see where it breaks, but even if I put a pause on the first line nothing happens. I guess this means it doesn't even start to run the file.

Anyone got any ideas what might be happening?

My guess. Propably some security settings. Meaning the cmd file runs as non-administrator. And tries to do things it isn't authorized to do.

To help you with this.

Open CMD here

You can also just open a cmd, NOT AS ADMIN, and cd to the correct directory.
