[WINDOWS]Improved handling of files in command line argument
#1
Right now, Eden can playback files directly from Windows Explorer when these are given as a command line argument provided when starting xbmc. I like this, I'm using it quite often in a multi-monitor setup. It does however only work when XBMC is not already running. According to jhsrennie if XBMC is already running "when you double-click a file it starts a new copy of XBMC and that new copy just returns the focus to the already running copy and exits" [1].

I would like to have this behaviour changed to that XBMC can also start playing a file directly from explorer when XBMC is already running; maybe by passing the command line argument from the new copy to the already running copy or something similar.

If a developer would be willing to code this, I'd be very grateful.
