Custom File Open operations

Post by reyaz »

Here is what I'd like to be able to do:

- If the file is .zip and is located at C:\Archives\ - on double-click open it with 7-Zip.
- if the file is .rar and is located at C:\Backups\ - on double-click open it with WinRAR.

Is it possible at any level? If not, will it be eventually possible in future updates? Thanks.

Already possible through PFAs (portable file associations):

Add at the top (and adapt the paths of the executables!):
"7z" C:\Archives\*.zip>D:\Tools\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
"WinRAR" C:\Backups\*.rar>D:\Tools\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
