Actually, I don’t want to open a file from windows explorer; that is just the easiest of confirming what is going on. What I really want to do is open a file in RawTherapee from Photo Mechanic
I use Photo Mechanic as my file browser and metadata editor. My commitment to Photo Mechanic is perhaps even stronger with the current beta release of Photo Mechanic Plus with all of its powerful database features.
Anyway, after developing my raw files with RawTherapee, I browse the resultant jpegs with Photo Mechanic. If I wish to make a small adjustment, I want to be able to call RawTherapee from within Photo Mechanic. I need a full fledged instance of RawTherapee so that I can export a jpeg directly and I wish to avoid the delay inherent in opening a separate instance of RawTherapee each time I call it.
My issue is somewhat similar to the recent discussion about Opening RT from IMatch. It was this discussion that triggered me to revisit this issue after it lay dormant for almost a year.
I will test gdbus.exe and post again later.
