"Open in certain program" command?

Post by Alexrose »

Hi,

Is it possible to set up a custom command in Everything to e.g. "open this in FilePilot" or "open this in CMD/Powershell"? I tried "file -> custom verb" and set up a regedit verb to open it and pass along %1, but Everything doesn't pass along the file name and just opens them at the root directory.

Even when I set up right click windows shell commands, Everything doesn't pass along the file name to the program. I really want to just have a way to not have to right click at all, and be able to just boot CMD/Powershell/Bash/FilePilot straight from Everything without dealing with windows explorer.

Thanks
Alex

In Everything 1.5 Alpha, you can set custom commands & hotkeys (if wanted) for same.
So Alt+H will open selected file(s) in hex (HxD) editor.
