Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Probably this is rather a feature request than a bug report (there is no
gnu.emacs.requests group AFAICS):
I would like to replace notepad.exe calls on Windows with emacsclientw
calls. A common workaround for that is to use the "Debugger" registry
entry [1] which sends all calls to notepad.exe to a "debugger" process -
usually another text editor.
This, however, also sends a "notepad.exe" parameter to the given client,
so if I define the notepad.exe debugger as "emacsclientw -na
runemacs.exe", it opens notepad.exe (as text) in Emacs.
GVim, for example, just ignores that parameter, other text editors like
Notepad2 and AkelPad use a "/z" parameter, meaning "ignore the next
parameter", for that. In emacsclientw, my chosen workaround is to add
the "-F" parameter. [2] This is a dirty solution but it somehow works.
So my feature request is: Add a parameter to emacsclientw which means
"ignore the following parameter". :-)

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at
the time.)
I think that this sounds like too specialised behaviour to warrant
adding a new parameter to emacsclient. It should be trivial to write a
wrapper script that does exactly what you want here (i.e., just call
emacsclient without the first parameter).
So I'm closing this bug report.
