Learned a nice command line :)
It was very easy to make a button in Total Commander which copies all selected files to the clipboard
and start this as paperfolder in XY.

thank you both for ideas
I did something better, a scripted button using <drop> variable
goto 'paper:es', 1;paperfolder(, "<drop>", , "ns");#250
switch to paper es if exists then drop files.

But this requires to hit the button in XY.
Your request was "can we send multiple files to xyplorer as arguments".
The method starting XY with arguments from outside is fully automatic
after some tool or batch has copied the list of files into the clipboard.

Hello everyone
if anyone uses Nilesoft Shell, and can help write the right syntax

Code: Select all

item(type='file' mode=multiple title='XY' image cmd='XYplorer.exe' args='/user=\"@sel(false, "|")')
https://nilesoft.org/docs/functions/sel
to echo get("CmdLineUser"); in XYplorer
