How add the hwa Hollywood applet file format to MIME type of MorphOS, to the applet format is load for the Hollywood Player directly as other cases.

@Templario

It's a bit more complicated because Ambient file format recognition database doesn't have a pre-made entry for it, but I'd do it like this... not sure if official would be similar if it's added some day, but maybe quite close :) With this you'll get a mime type for hwa applets and doubleclicking those will launch them in HollywoodPlayer. You can add context menu entries etc from Ambient prefs yourself afterwards if you want more options.

Create a new file to SYS:Prefs/Ambient/filetypes/application/x-hollywoodapplet
with this content:

AMTD
1
Name Hollywood Applet
Type application/x-hollywoodapplet
Match
	PatternHint #?.hwa
	Match sHWZ
	End
Action
	Name Play with HollywoodPlayer
	Event DoubleClick
	Command AMIGADOS Run >NIL: SYS:Utilities/HollywoodPlayer %sp
	End
End

Thank you very much, it works very well, and it is perfect to make little scripts in applet format instead of executables files with much space.
Thanks for your help.

I write your answer in the Hollywood forum, to help the programmes under MorphOS

It's now confirmed, that the next MorphOS update will have this filetype added to the Ambient's recognition database in this same form. Although it doesn't have the action part pre-configured because it's a 3rd party app, but MorphOS will recognize the files and configuration is available from the Mime settings.

So, it's perfectly valid to do it like I suggested already.

And if for example the author of Hollywood wants to configure the filetype in HollywoodPlayer's installation script, it can be done in this same way by creating the file with the previously mentioned contents. It just has to be checked that there isn't any existing file (== user configured mimetype) before creating a new one.

And starting from the next MorphOS release, the Match part could be skipped.. but it doesn't do harm if it's left there to support older MorphOS installations...

That's good, and thanks for your efforts regarding this!

If you add the command: -QUIET
to the mime type file:

AMTD
1
Name Hollywood Applet
Type application/x-hollywoodapplet
Match
PatternHint #?.hwa
Match sHWZ
End
Action
Name Play with HollywoodPlayer
Event DoubleClick
Command AMIGADOS Run >NIL: SYS:Utilities/HollywoodPlayer %sp -QUIET
End
End

The Hollywod Player open directly the Holywood app, no started the Player.

@Templario

OK, good to know, thanks.
