Hello,
I wanted to print some images and I did not find any way to do so in XYplorer. Did I miss something ?

Code: Select all
$files = "<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>";
$printers = replace(regexmatches(runret("wmic path win32_printer get name /format:list"), "Name=.*?$", "|"), "Name=");
$printer = quote(popupmenu($printers, -1, -1, , , 0, "|"));
foreach($file, $files) {
$file = quote($file);
run "rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt $file $printer", "<curpath>", 0, 0;
}

OK, thank you. Too bad it's not in the core. Will it work in 64 bits ?

It could. Not sure about the demand though.

Well, as it's a very good image browser - I used XYplorer as image browser - this could be a nice feature. But if I'm fhe fist one asking for such a feature, I suppose there is not a lot of people interested in...

Highend, is there way to modify this to print any filetype (.pdf, .docx, etc.)? If not
any filetypes, how about just .pdfs?
I think shimgvw.dll only works with image files, right?

You definitely can't print PDFs with the above method, but if you use SumatraPDF you can print them via command line, I gave a small example how here:
