I have a huge collection of images my windows machine cycles through for backgrounds, and sometimes I want to find out what a particular photo is of.
Going to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes shows you the images on each display, named Transcoded_000, Transcoded_001 et cetera; so they are without extension.
As such, you cant immediately open them nor teach explorer to associate them with an app/application.
So, what I thought to do was create a shortcut or batch file to <application> "<path>/Transcoded_blah" to call the app with the image as an argument.
However, since Win10 has done away with the old (.exe) photo viewer of Win7, and replaced it with the Win8+ app "Photos", I actually don't know how to call it.
UWPs dont hide in Program Files and there's no Open file location on its start menu item nor on its executable in Task Manager whilst it's running, so I don't know where to look to find it.
I imagine there's a way to launch these apps (probably PowerShell or [hopefully not] vbs), and I'm hoping they also accept arguments, but whenever I google it the results are for the other way around (invoking shell from UWP).
How do I invoke a Win10 app and pass it something?
