Can no longer select a batch file as Blaster executable?

[jksmurf]

Just adding a new channel and I can't recall how on earth I added batch file strings as the Channel Changer executable before.
Can no longer do so? Only accepts exe?

Any ideas folks?

Well I found a way to do it but it's a kludge; I copied the full path to the batch file in the Filename Box above.
I then had to update (right click it twice) once for the batch path and a second time for the Arguments. Be great if this could be made easier (or batch option put in that list) of executables. …

Thanks!

The method I use is to select cmd.exe, e.g.:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

with arguments:

/c C:\tv\HaupBlast\HaupBlastMnew.cmd {channel}

That works too ta; still be nice to have a bat option.
