A folder when opened in "icon view" will run the application in it

[psionics]

" A folder when opened in "icon view" will run the application in it (can be disabled also in system tray) "

the idea is just like in Mac Apps. just run the icon'ed folder to run. it is to simply a portable application's location folder/apps. ofcourse, the folder should only contain 1 application. this is not taken from the other post here(create shortcut to exe inside the folder), actually its old but i wanted my other post(self-contained archive/profile desktop) to be implemented 1st so i shouldn't be that burden. i'll just post this here ok. please help, if its ok for someone to make a .ahk script to work like that. thank you so much.


btw as of experience:
* please NO "hot headed" and "limited brain" answers *  it means that if you're saying negative, make it in technical details. not to judge it w/o knowing the actual effect (prejudice)   this is just a request anyways, if you can't (in which i never yet get any 1 of my posts resolved) then dont. It's ok btw, atlease we all know. as the idea is all compiled here. "programmers" are all over the world, but "ideas" are not..    why not help each other

Sounds a bit like a feature in the Pro version of Vista Start Menu (though admittedly what you're after is more sweeping in that you want it to work from your File Manager and dialogues, I presume).

[Darwin]

The feature in Vista Start Menu is called "One-click Launch" and is described like this:

Usually, you first have to find the program folder in the menu and then use its submenu to start the program itself. We made it easier! Vista Start Menu will automatically search through the list of folders and decide which program is the main one in each folder! View Flash Demo >> After that, you will be able to open the menu and click the necessary folder to start the program you need immediately. If you need access to additional files, just wait until the submenu

Is an expanded version of this what you are after?

Hi! Thats a very good start button  Thank You!

yes, a version where it is integrated into win explorer when in is viewed in "icons". with the same double-click operations to open application.

its like, the folder itself is also the application when the script is enabled. as we can change folder's icon, it would look great just as the Mac Apps. the easiness of applications installing and removal.

  Try IconRun - doubleclick on a folder to launch the program inside!

IconRun runs the program used to customize a folder's icon.
To change what program to launch, rightclick on a folder, choose Properties, choose Customize, choose Change Icon
and locate the program to run and use as a folder icon.

When I find out how to identify an icon view, I'll add code to run the program that closest matches the folder name,
or if it's only one program inside the folder, run it.

Also, it doesn't work with folders placed on the desktop.
