smart invoke a batch file?

Postby jbhq » Fri Feb 04, 2011 4:49 pm

anyone got a smart way to run a batch file for a selected folder by sending/storing the folder name to be processed ?
e.g. by utilising a Context Menu or SendTo shortcut
(and save me re-inventing a wheel)

solved this with this solution (to apply batch file to different folders) ...
I've stuck my batch file with renaming commands in Windows folder and called it f2.bat

I already use AutoHotKey so use this script when in Explorer (XP), triggered with mouse button and r key

~RButton & r::SendInput +{F10}w


+{F10} Shift+F10 opens context menu, which contains a "Command Window Here" entry (with w underscore)

so i'm now in Command Window (for correct folder of files required to be processed)
I key in f2 and it's done.

I'd still like to know of a way of doing this without cheating :roll: using AutoHotKey ...
