Kontextmenu from Windows Explorer ?

Post by *Unused »

Hello from germany...

I use the beta Version of tc 2.5 on my Windows Mobile 5 Device (XDA Neo). When i use the explorer i have other entrys in the context menu as i have in totalcommander. is there a way to have here the same entry's ?

Specialy there is by me an entry "use as ringtone" in explorer, but in tc there is no such entry when i highlight a ringtone file...

Yes, please do the following:
1. Start Total Commander Pocket
2. Go to the root of the file system \
3. Go to the \Plugins folder
4. Go to the Registry plugin
5. Use the search function to find "use as ringtone". I don't know whether it's in the key name or the key contents, so search in both.

Once you have found it, navigate to that subkey and look what command it starts, then post it here. It's probably something like "Ringtone.exe" "%1"

You can then create a button in the Total Commander button bar with that command and %P%N as parameter.

No, you can't drag&drop a file to a button on the bar. Instead, you need to define parameters (%P%N for the current file) and then place the cursor on the file and click the button.

No, that's not what I meant. You can actually drag a program to the secondary button bar (on the PocketPC version), you just can't drag a file to a button to launch the file with the program represented by that button.

If you cannot add buttons, then you probably have the wrong version installed (WinCE instead of PocketPC).

Let me be honest. I am a Palm OS person. I can only see Palm's new Treo 750 from a jaundiced perspective. There are many things about the Treo 750 that I love. The camera takes photographs that are astoundingly crisp and clear. It's going to be depressing going back to my Treo 700p. Check out the two photos below. You don't need to be told which was taken with the Treo 750.
