Tested again, same result.

From
C:\Users\test\Desktop\A.mp4
C:\Users\test\Desktop\A.mp4.vtx

To
C:\Users\test\Desktop\B.mp4
C:\Users\test\Desktop\B.mp4.vtx

EDIT: To be more correct, this time it asks to locate video.

Tested on a clean VM, so fairly sure 10.0.0.3 was the only version installed.

Have you created vtx file by VTM 10.0.0.3?

Yes.

So, technically, if I send you a .vtx file, you would only need to rename it to match the name of a movie file you have and it should be possible for the viewer to open the video, correct?

If yes, try the attached .vtx that I created.

Probably you were confused by right mouse button context menu.

I always use F1 hotkey when I want to start video from the beginning.

I tested your vtx file, and

d:\Path1\A.mp4
d:\Path1\A.mp4.vtx

F1 works well as

d:\Path1\Cyanide & Happiness - Hot Car.mp4
d:\Path1\Cyanide & Happiness - Hot Car.mp4.vtx

Right. I had no idea that F1 could be used.

Worked here. Is it possible to make it work with the "open and seek" mode also (by double clicking a frame to jump for its time on the video)? That would make it perfect. If you are still working on it, I can wait.

Same here Anderson, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

VTM 10.0.0.4 allows you to select right file easily by using "Locate video" feature.

Good for the free version. The paid version deserves to have that automated.

Sorry, did not understand your comment.

You asked for a helper when locating a video, I have added it.

Oh... lots of misunderstandings from each of us. Don't worry, we are getting there.

Now, to open a video which was renamed, the user has to use "Locate Video" and can simple press Enter - because the new path will be already on the dialog, while before the last update, it would not.

What I have wanted since from the beginning was for a simple double-click on a frame to launch the video at that frame's time, without the user having to manually find the new path.
