  Good day.
  
  I love your application, it is very useful.
  
  I just want to ask if you can please add functionality to be able to launch a Visual Studio Solution File (.sln) from the live folder options.
  
  I use this application to go through different solutions for comparisons and if this function is implemented it will make my job easier.
  
  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Ruwe,
  
  Is the .sln extension associated to an application? If you double-click an .sln file in Windows Explorer, does it launch the file? Normally, QAP would not have to do anything for a document to be launched by its associated app. Unless I'm missing something.

  If you could associate the .sln extension to Visual Studio (right-click, Open with, Choose another app, click "Always use this app"), double-clicking it in Widows Explorer should launch Visual Studio. And if you can get this to work, QAP will also be able to launch it.

  I'll move this thread to the QAP Support section of the forum.

  It is already the default application for it. QAP just can't launch it.

  But double-click in Windows Explorer cannot launch it too, if I read you well. In my understanding, the issue is not QAP specific.

  I've read earlier that "No the File does not open when i double click it." There was a misunderstanding :-)
  
  So it should also open if you enter the path to your .sln file in the Windows Run prompt (Win + R).
  
  If it opens with a double click in Windows Explorer or with the Run command, it should open with your favorite of type "Document". Normally... There is nothing more that can be done from QAP point-of-view.
  
  What you could try is one of these 2 solutions:
  
  - in the .sln Document favorite, Edit Favorite, Advanced Settings tab, enter the path to the Visual Studio exe file in the "Launch with this application" text box.
  or
  - create an "Application" favorite for Visual Studio and in Advanced Settings, "Parameter" field, enter the path to your .sln file (depending on Visual Studio. this may require additional character - see VS doc form command line parameters)

  Unfortunately I cannot add an application for it disables the field with Live folders.

  Jean Lalonde > 2019-10-08 16:18

  Oh. I did not notice it was in a Live Folder. But launching the .sln file should work anyway...
  
  Can you open the .sln file if you enter its path in the Windows Run prompt (Win + R)? Behind the scene, QAP is using exactly the same command to launch applications documents.

  Good day Jean.

  Thank you for your prompt responses and support.
