Hi hi5

Thank you for developing and support! I'll check you script.

Now for this I use my own script. I wrote this after my question and your answer. The script is configured as an editor for TC, reads the same ini and starts after pressing F4 inside the archive, but perhaps your script will be better and more convenient than mine.

@Ovg that's basically what the new script does. All I am going to do is clean it up a bit and #include some more code. So the script itself will be very short - half of what is now - as I copied some code from the main script for testing but it is easy to #include (all the blocks marked with dup ... /dup. Easier for maintenance in the future

But if your own script works, by all means keep on using it. If it works, it works.

I have tested your script and found:
if there is not extention in ini file, instead of default editor (editor #1) the last editor is starting up. F4MiniMenu working fine with the same ini.

An experiment using DocumentTemplates for new files (shift+f4 in TC), script name is now F4TCIEx.ahk so don't have to overwrite version 0.2 from the post above.

As mentioned earlier: the target program has to accept "new or empty files" - for example notepad will allow this, but your graphics program of Office word processor will probably generate an error message as it doesn't "understand" the new empty file.

To solve this problem you can place templates in the DocumentTemplates folder.
Create a new document in your preferred program, say a 100x100 bmp file in MS Paint. Save it as "template.BMP" in the DocumentTemplates folder. At the moment you need to modify a variable in the script (just during the test phase) line 29 "templateExt" and add ",bmp" (so a CSV list of extensions).
Now when you make a new BMP file, that template.bmp will be copied to the active folder/panel first before starting the editor. In the zip on GH there are three templates included XLSX, PNG and RTF to illustrate how it works.

For those wanting to try it but don't (want to) use AutoHotkey, compiled versions can be downloaded here:

I'm also gathering suggestions which I may or may not add at some point, you can see them on GH here https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/issues - these include:

• Statistics
  
• Filtered menu
  
• Additional condition to open file in an another editor (file size, date, ...)
