dragging search results into a tool on the toolbar
« on: May 17, 2010, 10:57 AM »
Hey.
I put a shortcut for "Better File Renamer" up in the toolbar of my FARR window, but when I drag a search result onto that icon, it doesn't open the file inside of the renamer.

OK, I said. The Toolbar is just for launching programs.
But then I opened up Tool Properties window, and there are some windows mentioning Working Dir, and Parameters...
This made me think maybe I was wrong.

I'm not sure what to do with these windows, but can I get files to open up into whatever program I drag it to?

Thanks

I think I tried something similarly recently and didn't get it working either.

i will try to add drag and drop support, but the way it works now is that if you HIGHLIGHT/SELECT a result and then press the button, and the button is configured to open the %file% or similar things, it will work on the selected result file.

good grief... I didn't even try pressing the button

that will probably work! I'll be able to check it in a few hours

what I did in the meantime was make little ahk scripts which achieved what I wanted through the context menu, and stuck those up into the toolbar

the names I gave the shortcuts don't show up though...

thx
