You have to write a script on either field "On left click" or "On right click".

The script can refer to the dropped file as <drop>

Example:

Code: Select all

openwith """K:\hash\hasher.exe"" <drop>"

Not weird -- you need the script to define what the button does, ok?
The name field defines what it's called (it could be something like "My first button", for ex) and the Icon field defines what it looks like but you still have to give it what action to take when you click it...make sense now?

yes but the icon is related to a program
and i know nothing about scripts

Hm, dropping stuff onto that button should work, and it does here.

i did exactly like the tutorial
well but when i select 4 files and drag to the new icon , it opens 4 istances of the program
in my case 4 istances of MultiHasher.exe

is it normal?

Yes. It depends on the called program how it handles this.

In your first post your wrote: "i tried to select several files and drag on the icon nothing".
Now you write: "well but when i select 4 files and drag to the new icon , it opens 4 istances of the program"
