I have to try this! Looks very cool
I was thinking of coding something like this to provide a java applet (which can also used as desktop app) with an external pseudo-rightclick. Actually my idea was to bring up a context menu with a combobox listing all the files on the same folder as the jar, then selecting a file woud cause tha applet to quit, and call it again by commandline with said file as parameter.
Can this app be restricted/tailored to be used only for any particular program?

Yes. That is the basic idea. I had to rush this app as I was unable to find spare time and 31 dec was closing fast. I haven't got time to complete the website. I will eventually complete the app as I mentioned in planned features.

Thanks for your appreciation, kilele.

Regards,

Anand

Hi Anand,
How can I run a file located at the same folder as the .exe ?

I'm enjoying this program. It's got what so many lack these days: simple, straightforward, focused on doing one thing competently.

But I've got one suggestion that I think would be a big improvement. With multiple monitors on my desktop, I've got a good chance that when I do the mouse shake thing, this program pops up on a different monitor, which is rather annoying. Could you make sure that it pops up on the same monitor as the window I've selected?
