Command to open current active folder w a specific program?

[TsunamiZ]

Anyone know how to create a command to open selected file(s) with a specific program? I also want to create a hotkey for it. Anyone know the procedure and script code? Thanks.

BTW: Is there also a variation for opening current active folder with a specific program?

<curitem> works for selected folder too, see

Or use <curfolder> as parameter for your program.
<curfolder> will be the name of the current folder

thanks but can you give me an example of the script to use? for example...

i want to make it open selected file(s) with...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe

i want to make it open current active folder with...
C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\xnview.exe

ok i figured everything out except for this one. anyone know how to do this?

i want to make it open current active folder with...
C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\xnview.exe

note: i want to open current "active" folder, not currect "selected" folder.

i tried this, but it doesn't always work. anyone know what's wrong?

Code: Select all

openwith "C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\xnview.exe" <curpath>

1) please find examples how to use behind my links above
or http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 796#p40796
or http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 663#p28663

2) correct command depends on your programs syntax - > read XnView help, maybe there is an parameter needed? like xnview /D ""<curpath>""

3) mostly it's all about quoting .... maybe your <curpath> has blanks? > http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 846#p40846

If that doesn't help we will see what to do next.
