Custom (Portable) "Open with..." Commands

[Huidong]

Dear developer:

So excited to see all the nifty improvements and new features!

My humble suggestion is that Everything enables us to define file-type-specific "Open with" commands in the context menu, independent of the OS. Even better, a set of file types can be handled by multiple programs, and the Open file command is automatically overridden by the first user-defined command. For instance, we configure our list of programs to handle common image file types:

Code: Select all

*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.png;*.tif>D:\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
*.gif;*.jpg;*.png>D:\RIOT\riot.ext

Although the OS by default opens various image files using PhotoViewer.dll, and presuming we don't want to touch that, with this feature, we are able to open, say jpg files with IrfanView by hitting Enter (overriding OS default), furthermore, there is a custom Open with menu where we can select other programs to process image files, like RIOT. I would imagine that these settings can be stored in a csv file just like Run history?

I wonder if you are interested in providing this functionality to us?

Best regards,
Huidong

I hope to extend the "Context menu" options by allowing users to add their own custom context menu items for files and folders.

For now, please check Custom Verbs.
