Starting a script by clicking on file/folder and markers
Posted: 18 Aug 2021 16:25
Hello, dear XYplorer Community!
My wish is as follows:
XYplorer should have a function to load a script by clicking directly on a file / folder.
I use many lnk-files to open folders and files.
But the problem is, that the lnk-files of windows open/start only
one item at once. (Using bat-files is not convenient for me). The mentioned function of XYplorer would make possible
to not only open files/folders, but also add any scripting functionality
to this action and therefore effectively replace lnk-files of windows for those
using this function.
My "subwish" in this direction is that XYplorer could be able to load a script if a file/folder
is clicked, which name contains a marker, that could be recognised by XYplorer as a command
to open an associated script. The marker and the associated script could be defined
by user somewhere in XYplorer's settings.
Example:
The file name is "birthdays_list_X123.xls" or "birthdays_X123_list.xls" or "X123_birthdays_list.xls".
The "X123" sequence is set by user as marker to load a script.xys.
Every time a file/folder with "X123" sequence is clicked in XYplorer the script.xys is executed.
This mechanism could also work if XYplorer is commanded to open a file / folder with
marker sequence per command line.
Thank you!
