windows explorer context by ext
#1
qm in windows explorer by extension would be very cool.

so when you rightclick on a txt file you get all comands you defined in
your main context function.

right now one can use cmenu:
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=47645

but cmenu is visible on every file selected.

it would be cool to have qm.context only on defined extensions.

ppro is able to that, i guess the idea behind it is to register a main dll for
all files which reads filters from an external file.

ifext="txt" out "run text function"

ok...that's freakin awesome!!!
i have a macro that clears out the dross in a data file from a db query and this is perfert cuz i had to do a context menu to get the file/name path.

Insert QM items to submenus of other extensions? No.

cool !

can i give subfolder an icon too ?
pi
#10
Download the new version.
#11
can you extend it to allow other icon sources,
so that we can use path to exe or .icl, ico ?

otherwise i would have to make a bmp for each icon,
which is waste of space.

The problem is that menu bitmaps normally are 13x13 pixels, whereas icons are 16x16.

Which solution would be the best:
1. Display partial icon.
2. Make icon smaller. It often will be distorted.
3. Use owner-drawn menu items. They will have bigger height than others. Example - Send To submenu. This will be more work for me.

Maybe I'll add a checkbox "Real size icon". If it is unchecked, the icon will be resized. If checked, the menu item will be bigger.

Other problem - icons from exe and dll files are extracted slowly, unless you'll use single dll or icl for all icons. Loading/converting ico files is fast.
#13
i prefer to choose the icon in the property dialog of the related script.
what about using parts of the icons dialog ?

-- browse for ico,bmp,jpg,png,gif,icl,dll,exe and assign it.

ps.
3. no.

#14
is it possible to show items only on a defined path ?
... context by folder

this would allow me to have entries on [local webserver path] or [publish path for www] like open local index.php as http://localhost/folder/index.php
pi
#15
Ok, will add it.
