qm in windows explorer by extension would be very cool.
so when you rightclick on a txt file you get all comands you defined in
your main context function.

right now one can use cmenu:

but cmenu is visible on every file selected.
it would be cool to have qm.context only on defined extensions.
ppro is able to that, i guess the idea behind it is to register a main dll for
all files which reads filters from an external file.
ifext="txt" out "run text function"

can you extend it to allow other icon sources,
so that we can use path to exe or .icl, ico ?
otherwise i would have to make a bmp for each icon,
which is waste of space.

The problem is that menu bitmaps normally are 13x13 pixels, whereas icons are 16x16.
Which solution would be the best:
1. Display partial icon.
2. Make icon smaller. It often will be distorted.
3. Use owner-drawn menu items. They will have bigger height than others. Example - Send To submenu. This will be more work for me.
Maybe I'll add a checkbox "Real size icon". If it is unchecked, the icon will be resized. If checked, the menu item will be bigger.
Other problem - icons from exe and dll files are extracted slowly, unless you'll use single dll or icl for all icons. Loading/converting ico files is fast.

i prefer to choose the icon in the property dialog of the related script.
what about using parts of the icons dialog ?
-- browse for ico,bmp,jpg,png,gif,icl,dll,exe and assign it.
ps.
3. no.

is it possible to show items only on a defined path ?
... context by folder
this would allow me to have entries on [local webserver path] or [publish path for www] like open local index.php as
http://localhost/folder/index.php
