I wonder if it's useful to do it both ways on the selection, so that for example you can do

notepad.exe | $$1 abc.txt

and

notepad.exe | winhex $$1

where the first one will open "notepad.exe abc.txt" and the 2nd one will do "winhex notepad.exe"

Perhaps we can already do that with alias?

Hi taichimaster,

This and your other three plugins are great. Thanks for developing them  :Thmbsup:
A feature request: Could you add the name of the owner of a process to the output in the status bar that is shown for a selected entry. I don't use the location column, but would like to see this info in FARR. Would it also be possible to show the status of a process in the status bar (e.g. is it still responding or has it somehow crashed.) In task manager this is shown on the application tab.

Cheers,
  Robert

You are welcome Robert.  Mouser did a great job on the Plugin SDK, and it's fun to develop something that yourself would use everyday.

Yup, I could add the owner to the status bar.  But as far as the "Not Responding" status, I am not sure how TaskManager does it.  I think it's somehow related to whether the process's main window is pumping messages or not?  Maybe mouser has some clues :)

I could easily find out the main window's title for each process though, that might help on differentiating multiple instances of the same process and selecting which one to kill.  I could also add the memory usage for each process if people find it useful, but it will make the querying slower.
