You CAN open AS files from the desktop icons
Did you know you can open AS files by double clicking their icons. But, only if you have AS already open.
If AS is open (A MUST) and you double click the startup icon (as you can normally do in other applications) AS will open it directly. Sometimes when I am hunting for files it's easier to go right down a list of icons, double clicking each one, one after another, than it is to go to file open inside of AS and searching for a file.
If all your AS files are in a folder, just move the AS window aside from the open folder so you see the file that you double click and open. No need to close AS for the next file, it automatically closes and opens the next double click. Saves me time when I'm searching for something I forgot what I named it.
Maybe you don't have a problem like forgetting.

Do you mean on a Mac or under Linux ?
Because you can open the AS files by double-clicking on a PC even if AS isn't open...
Another way : If AS is open (under Windows) and you have opened the Explorer, only drag and drop an .anme or a .moho file on the taskbar on the AS task...
Note : This trick is OK for all other applications... But anyone knows that !?!

Yes! I am on a Mac and if you double click on an AS icon that you saved and want to open, it opens the AS startup file, not the one you are double clicking on. Also if you drag an AS file onto the AS startup icon it only opens the AS startup file. Only after AS is open can you double click and open other AS files.p6r wrote:Do you mean on a Mac or under Linux ?
only one emoticon i can related to that....Rasheed wrote:The Mac version is crippled in more than one ways, alas

Both are essentially the same action, and both fail miserably on the Mac.
That, and image textures.

You can if AS is already open.Rasheed wrote:The Mac version is crippled in more than one ways, alas

Move the AS window to the side a bit and double click any AS file from the finder window. It will close the open file in AS and if you need to save first it prompts you to do so. Then the file you double clicked opens right up.
Try it.
Re: You CAN open AS files from the desktop icons
Not if you're using my Mac and Anime Studio Pro, apparently. I posted about this a few days ago. The only way that ASP will open my .anme file is to start ASP first, then navigate from ASP to the file [as in, use the File menu, or CMD-o, or the "open file" icon in ASP's toolbar].rplate wrote:Did you know you can open AS files by double clicking their icons.

Um, file associations in Tiger seem fine to me ...
... but Anime Studio Pro doesn't open them. I checked that info panel; it all looks fine [good idea, btw]. I also tried saving one with extension .moho, and it seemed to work .... When I click a .anme, ASP always opens with the same default anime boy that kinda looks like Xander from Drawn Together. But if I save it with a .moho extension, ASP opens it. I think Anime Studio Pro is on a never-ending quest to save his moho.
