Launch "pdf-reader" from layout.nut
« on: April 17, 2017, 06:57:10 AM »
Anyone can create a custom function to launch an external software , like a pdf reader by pressing "custom_1" key from AM¿?

I was thinking that could be awesome read game instruccions before launch a game.
But the thing is I won´t like to add this with a .batch command.
Just launch the pdf and close when you read weathever you want without exit AM or launch the game if you don´t want to.

You and I want to do the EXACT same thing.

Optimally, I'd like to have a second script that detects the presence of a PDF and either shows/hides a little "manual available" (thinking a booklet) icon over the theme as you scroll through the romset.  Launch manual (PDF Reader app) with 'm' hotkey (or whatever), default action is run game.
