xyplorer.com : File Explorer with "ContActs"

Post by Clemens Ratte-Polle »

Hi.
I use it permanently :)
But there are some little lacks.

Perhaps a new invention: ContActs - my name suggestion for it :)
It shows a configurable toolbar in specific contexts where you can click some actions.
E.G.:
When i mark an image file XYplorer could display toolbar buttons with actions and icons which could be self defined.
The buttons call image actions like preview with MS Image Viewer, XNView, edit with Photoshop and so on.
So you dont have to tangle around through deep context menues :)

It is like context right click, open with, send to - but faster.

Only a suggestion :)
greets

Already possible with POM/Open With/Custom File Associations.
You might want to read up on these in help.

You know that the free version was discontinued 1,5 years ago so any wish could only target a paid version. Apart from that, not even normal scripting could currently give you that requested feature, this would only possible with CEA (custom event actions), which are on the roadmap but probably still a very long time away. There are probably ways to do this with the paid version (again, via scripting), but not without any user intervention (just by selecting a file: no, won't work)
One of my scripts helped you out? Please donate via Paypal
