Title: TIP: Associate .xja filetype to "double-click" auto-launch QubeGUI submit dialog
Post by: Scot Brew on February 11, 2009, 11:25:32 PM

Question: A customer asked about submitting a job from file by double-clicking on the .xja directly.  In essence, associating the ".xja" file type with the QubeGUI a submission dialog so one can launch jobs by double-clicking on those files.

Answer: Yes, one can set this up directly to have an .xja file launch the QubeGUI submission dialog on any Windows system.  Below are the steps to perform that file association:

• Open My Computer or any File Explorer window
• Select menu Tools -> Folder Options...
• Click the "File Types" tab
• Click "New" and specify "xja" as the new file type.  Click OK.
• Select that "xja" filetype and click on the Advanced button
• Click on "New" to create a "submit" Action to call this as the "Application used to perform action:"
      "C:\Program Files (x86)\pfx\qube\bin\qube.exe" --submitFile "%1"
• Click OK and close the dialogs
• Test by double clicking on an .xja file.  A submit dialog should launch for it.
