Hi!
Is there a way to use Windows 10 Modern Apps in the POM menu?
Thanks a lot,
Matt

Re: POM and Windows Modern Apps
Did you try calling such a command (example is for the Alarms & Clock app)?
Code: Select all
"explorer.exe" shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App
Re: POM and Windows Modern Apps
I tried this command (I need it to open image files with the Windows included photo's app):
png;jpg;tif;gif;>shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App
But it only launches the program
png;jpg;tif;gif;>shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App
But it only launches the program

If you don't want to go the route that Jupe mentioned above, and you always want to open the image file in Photos you could of course simply associate the Photos app in the Windows "open with" context menu (not the XYplorer open with menu). I didn't want to do that since I wanted the default opening of a JPG file to be accomplished using my image viewer program "ImageEye". So I ended up doing this with a Customized File Association:Holding down the shift key while double clicking brings up the image in Photos and a normal double click opens the image in ImageEye. Of course you can change your default. The number following "Down" will depend on where Photos appears in your open with list.
Code: Select all
"ImageEye or Photos [shift]|D:\Graphics\Image Eye\Image Eye.exe" jpg>::if(!get("Shift")==1) {openwith "D:\Graphics\Image Eye\Image Eye.exe"} else {selectitems "<pfaitem>";sendkeys "+{F10}{h}{Down 5}{Enter}";}
