Problem

"Play with QuickPlay" / "Add to QuickPlay playlist" were command-line verbs ("exe" --enqueue "%1", MultiSelectModel=Player). Explorer started one waveflow-quickplay.exe per selected file: 2000 processes for a 2000-file selection, about 17 s of spawning for 1000. The single-instance socket merged them, but only after every one of them had started.

Change

The verbs are now DropTarget verbs backed by QuickPlay as a per-user COM local server:

• --register writes two classes under HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{…}\LocalServer32 (the executable itself, so no administrator rights), and on every audio extension and on Directory a shell\<verb>\DropTarget with CLSID= in place of command. It deletes the 1.2.0 command keys so an upgrade cannot keep them. --unregister removes the classes too.
• When a verb is chosen, COM starts QuickPlay once with -Embedding. The new src/drop_verb.rs serves the two classes (Play, Enqueue) from an MTA on a thread of its own, so winit's OLE on the main thread is left alone. It reads the selection through SHCreateShellItemArrayFromDataObject, withdraws the classes, then hands the paths to the usual start path: ipc::send to the running player, or a window of its own. A launch nobody drops on exits after 30 s.
• Folders get the same verb. That removes the 15-item limit the default Document model put on them.
• "Open with" keeps its command line.
• Dependency: the windows 0.62 crate (+ windows-core for #[implement]). cpal already builds it, so the only new feature is Win32_System_Ole.
• Docs: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, README.

Verification (Windows 11)

The verb was invoked the way Explorer does it, outside Claude's packaged context: one IContextMenu over the whole selection (GetUIObjectOf with every child PIDL), then InvokeCommand. The number of waveflow-quickplay.exe processes was counted, and the receiving player's log was read.

Selection	Verb	New processes	Player received
1200 .wav, player running	Add to playlist	1 (-Embedding, exits after the hand-off)	1 message, 1200 paths, ~0.5 s after InvokeCommand
1000 files, .wav/.flac/.mp3 mixed	Play	1	1 play message, 1000 paths
20 folders	Add to playlist	1	1 message, 20 paths
1200 .wav, nothing running	Play	1 (becomes the player)	–
then 16 .wav	Add to playlist	1 short-lived	handed to that player; one window in all

cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets (no warnings) and cargo test (70 passed) pass on Windows. Linux and macOS are left to CI: everything new is cfg(windows).

Not verified

• A right-click in the real Explorer UI. The test drives the same shell context-menu code without a mouse.
• Whether a window started cold by COM comes to the foreground. COM, not Explorer, starts the process, so it may open behind the active window.
• The NSIS installer was not rebuilt. It only runs --register / --unregister, which keep their contract.

Notes

• This branch is cut from main and does not include the uncommitted strict single-instance work in the main checkout (src/ipc.rs, src/main.rs::single_instance). The two touch different hunks of main.rs and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.
• A selection over ipc::MAX_PATHS (10 000) is still refused by the hand-off, as before.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Nouvelles fonctionnalités
  • Sous Windows, le menu contextuel permet de lire des fichiers audio avec QuickPlay ou de les ajouter à sa liste de lecture, depuis les fichiers et les dossiers.
  • La sélection de plusieurs éléments est transmise en une seule fois à QuickPlay, afin d’appliquer l’action choisie à l’ensemble de la sélection.
• Documentation
  • Les indications sur le lancement de QuickPlay depuis l’explorateur de fichiers Windows ont été mises à jour.

Walkthrough

Les verbes Windows « Play with » et « Add to playlist » utilisent des cibles COM DropTarget. Explorer transmet une sélection entière à un seul processus, qui récupère le mode et les chemins avant le démarrage habituel.

Changes: Verbes Explorer Windows

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Réception COM de la sélection Cargo.toml, src/drop_verb.rs	Les dépendances Windows et le nouveau module ajoutent deux classes COM et la réception des dépôts. La fonction renvoie le mode du verbe et les chemins valides. Elle attend jusqu’à 30 secondes un dépôt, puis jusqu’à 2 secondes la libération des objets COM.
Enregistrement des verbes Explorer src/integration.rs, README.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md	Les verbes audio et dossier utilisent les classes COM avec MultiSelectModel=Player. L’enregistrement supprime les anciennes sous-clés command, et la désinscription supprime aussi les clés des classes COM. Les tests vérifient l’enregistrement et sa suppression. La documentation décrit le comportement de sélection et la fusion des messages play.
Lancement et remise de la sélection src/main.rs	Sous Windows, -Embedding et /Embedding déclenchent la réception COM. Après --, ces options restent des noms de fichiers. Si aucune sélection n’est reçue, QuickPlay quitte sans lancer le lecteur.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Transmettre le mode reçu au relancement Wayland.

Lorsque drop_verb::receive() retourne Mode::Enqueue, args.enqueue reste false. Si la création sous XWayland échoue, relaunch_on_wayland reçoit donc false et relance les fichiers sans --enqueue. Le lancement COM « Add to QuickPlay playlist » devient alors un lancement Play.

Suggested fix

-        match restart::relaunch_on_wayland(resume.as_ref(), &files, args.enqueue) {
+        match restart::relaunch_on_wayland(
+            resume.as_ref(),
+            &files,
+            matches!(mode, ipc::Mode::Enqueue),
