PromptHere v. 2.9.1.0

<< < (3/7) > >>

I don't quite get the purpose of pasting into the command prompt.  If you double click the file is it not opened in the current folder?  I'm missing what the functionality is.

On the selectable hotkey I'll have to look into the easiest way to do it.  Maybe a little popup chooser that writes an .ini file or something.

PromptHere v. 1.4

I implemented simple user selectable hotkey via .ini file.

If the program detects an invalid hotkey in the .ini file setting
on start up it will show an error dialog and quit.  To revert
to default hotkey, delete the .ini file and run PromptHere.

I also changed the About box so that the current hotkey
is shown.

See AutoHotkey reference for detailed info on hotkey
format.  The Readme has been updated with info on simple
modifier keys to change from Alt to Control or Shift or
combinations thereof. Also usage notes and history have been
updated.

Hmm...I was hoping to get this

btw the above is easy to do. I'm just curious why you'd like that output.
I think most users would expect the current behavior, but I can easily add
your variation as an option via the .ini file. Maybe have an option
PasteFilename=1 to enable.

That was indeed a bad example!
I just grabbed the file that was in front of me. Sorry about that!

The usefulness of such functionality resides in the ability to add different arguments to an .exe file (for example MiniCap or other command line tool, or adding /portable parameter to ImgBurn etc.).
So I was thinking of .exe files...

I see what you're driving at.  I'll mess around with it. In the meantime please download the latest version (1.5) as I fixed a bug where clicking a file in the root directory instead opened a prompt in the PromptHere working directory.  Splitting the file path returns blank for Directory if in the root.  I added a test for that and use the drive instead in that case.
