General • From CustomCommand to IrfanView as Slideshow

Hello,

I tried several ways to select some pictures in Everything and have them open in IrfanView as a slideshow...

$exec("C:\Users\Home\Apps\IrfanView\i_view64.exe" %* "/slideshow")
$exec("C:\Users\Home\Apps\IrfanView\i_view64.exe" /slideshow=%*)
$exec("C:\Users\Home\Apps\IrfanView\i_view64.exe" /slideshow "%1")

and many more... but either IrfanView reports that no files were specified, or …

O:\Home\HP-LAPTOP\Data\C\Users\Home\Pictures\Tagebau Hambach\09.07.2013\¥“Þ€§Ú : Kann Dateiheader nicht lesen!

Unbekanntes Bildformat, leere/beschädigte Datei oder Datei existiert nicht !
This is a BackupFolder on the NAS.

What am I doing wrong, how do I get a robust command that can open local files and network files?
