DONE: Space + click on file reveals "Open With" list of programs
nudone:
okay, that's brilliant.
if you could add the feature so that "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is automatically deselected when the dialog appears - then i'd say that will be near perfection.
(i just think that problems are likely to occur if people don't realise that "always use..." is selected and they go and click a none default program.)

I don't know of any way to do that programatically. That being said, you could write in some more code into your hotkey that waits for the window, checks the state of that box, and sets it accordingly. Something like this:
--- Code: AutoIt ---F1::{ ClipSave := ClipboardAll ; Save the entire clipboard. Clipboard := "" ; Null out clipboard. SendInput, ^c ; Copy to clipboard (assumed to be a filepath). ; Small amount of error-handling. ClipWait, 2 If ( Errorlevel != 0 ) { MsgBox, Clipboard timed out. Return } ; Call the 'Open With' dialog and pass in copied path from above. Run, C:\tmp\OpenWiff.exe "%Clipboard%" ; Determine the state of the "Always use the selected program to open ; this kind of file" checkbox and uncheck it if it's checked. WinWaitActive, Open With ControlGet, myState, Checked, , Button2, Open With If ( myState = 1 ) { Control, Uncheck, , Button2, Open With } ; Restore the original clipboard and free memory. Clipboard := ClipSave ClipSave := ""}Return

Regarding anything custom, I'm wondering if it might be well-suited as a FARR plugin. Do you use FARR?

I had thought of mentioning FARR but didnt as the focus here (mine included) was on File managers.
In FARR you would have to search for the file presumably?
or
could it recognise what file is selected in File Manager and work from there - that's asking a lot though I suspect :)
Love the name btw ;-)

thanks for that, skwire. unfortunately it doesn't appear to work.
would it be simpler to just send alt+a to the dialog? i have tried to do that myself already but i've no idea what i'm doing wrong as that doesn't work either - but i assumed that's because i don't really know what i'm doing.

Could be a Windows 7 thing since it appears to work here. It could also be that the checkbox under Windows 7 is a different ClassNN than under Windows XP. It's "Button2" under XP. Are you able to tell me what it is under Windows 7? You can use the WindowSpy utility included with a standard AHK install.

No, because that would toggle it instead of explicitly setting it to an unchecked state.
