--play-file=filename

does not work with PCmanFM on LXDE. Can you help? I would like to open the
files from my filemanager. thanks.

I have in my ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list:

audio/flac=quodlibet_queue.desktop;

and in my ~/.local/share/applications/quodlibet_queue.desktop:

Exec=/usr/programs/quodlibet/quodlibet --enqueue=%f

and it's working OK. I just tried with --play-file=%f and it worked also.
Note that Quod Libet must be running when you make the call.

Are you sure your file manager is passing the whole path to the file and
not just the filename?

Was the missing part. The command works, thank you. although, I am limited
playing a single file (I can't right-select a bunch of files and play them).

I'm also sick of this gotcha - it's fine for me most of the time but only
since I have QL running a lot, but it's poor that it can't be started up to
play a file, like nearly every media player out there.

I'll have a look into this when I get some time (@devs is there a good
reason for this I'm missing?)

I remember that I tried it once but gave up.

We could create the socket, fork, send the args and wait for the child to
react to that (and redirect stdout for the child maybe, so --print-playing
etc works ??)

or something completely different...

https://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/issues/detail?id=67

I would like to insist that quodlibet would get support for opening files
passed as an argument(-list) just like about all other applications
eg: quodlibet song1.mp3 song2.mp3 song3.mp3
should launch quodlibet if it isn't started already and enqueue the files
passed as arguments
quodlibet is a nice player and I was really surprised to see that this
hasn't been implemented, why not?
thanks

I'm interested in this as well, for another reason: GNOME extensions for
MPRIS typically allow launching the default audio player if they don't
detect an MPRIS-compatible player running.

Should work now for single files. I've opened a separate issue for opening
multiple files: Issue 1555

Meh, desktop files get started by just stripping the path.. which breaks
normal QL start. Reopening, sorry for the noise.
