Retrieves filepaths that are being read/open by other applications


Recommended Posts

Hello guys and gals,

Actually, I need to be able to get the filename & path of currently playing media from Potplayer so I can do some file manipulations. Checking windows' titles or text from Potplayer's window, I can only get the filename without the path.

So, I was searching in the forum for a way to retrieves opened files from an application like FileMon but without luck. This would be very useful...in case I want to change media player, so I don't have to find ways to get the currently playing media again.

Has someone be able to do this?

Incase someone's currious...

Hi,

Br, FireFox.

Hi FireFox, thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I believe, the FileSystemMonitor is used to monitor a folder from any changes.

In my case, I don't even know the folder. I would need a way to know what filenames and paths that are currently opened by a process.
