[Tweak] MUSDFolderContentsPreviewExternal=

[xy123]

Folder Contents Preview is not getting enough love IMO, so why not allow us to use external, dedicated utility like MenuApp?

Code: Select all

MUSDFolderContentsPreviewExternal=C:\Program Files\menuApp\menuApp.exe

If you implement this Tweak, Folder Contents Preview could look like this (gif animation):

Or even better you could add this to Custom Event Actions: Clicking on Folder Icons.

This way we could use Scripting and do whatever we want with Left, Middle and Right Click on folder icons.

There is already a middle-click on folders event? And clicking on line numbers could be used as well so if you really want to use that app, you already can.

@all: Beware...
While the app seems to work fine by just calling it with a folder to display, don't try to use its extended functionality
E.g. the template config file has a Desktop Double entry (double click on the desktop => Display a menu)
Apart from not displaying what it should the app starts to use 100% of the processor core it runs on...

Both are in use here (Open in new tab and Sticky selection).

@all: Beware...

There is also even more powerful ShortPopUp. I didn't mention it because it works great in Windows 10, but not so in Windows 7 and lower, because sometimes it is shortening paths and this could lead to unexpected archives renames.

Suprised to see you not supporting new CEA, you are probably keyboard oriented user.

I have nothing against new CEAs but instead of waiting for new features, use existing ones until (if ever) you'll get them

You are aware of <get trigger callshift>?

[xy123]

No, but I'm mouse oriented user and that shift in callshift means to hold Shift (or Ctrl/Alt) key?
