Need more External Applications command syntax

As in the issue, I made a simple mistake because I didn't understand the syntax of these commands 😅

Sorry I didn't see the other post. It's been a long time since anyone opened an issue for the native app. I'll continue there.

On second thought, it makes more sense to answer it here.

I don't think mspaint can handle URLs. In that case, you'll need to write a script to download the image and open mspaint, and then call that script from this addon.

If you have something like curl installed, you can use a command like this

curl "{searchTerms}" -o tmp & mspaint tmp

curl downloads the URL to a file called tmp then opens tmp in mspaint

I think curl may part of Windows 10 anyway, so you might not need to download anything else.

How to open magnet link, this is not work. Normally, after copying the link, the BitComet automatically creates a new BitTorrent task.

BitComet_x64.exe "{searchTerms}"

Doesn't clicking a magnet link automatically open it in BitComet? What's the point of going through this addon?

FYI you have to use --url to download magnet links. I got that from bitcomet --help

BitComet_x64.exe --url "{searchTerms}"

Thank you, because I also installed other BT download software 😊

That's what I figured, but I wanted to double-check.
