Change Start Menu parameter %S

[abc]

%S seems to mean selected files in the active tab, not ALL selected files in general (i.e. in all tabs).
I wish it were, since that's how I could have activated a compare program on 2 files in different directories.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Yes this is how it is designed.

In case of an external compare tool, you can add a line in the WINCMD.INI file:

Code: Select all

CompareTool=c:\WinTools\WinMerge\WinMerge.exe

Note: you may have to correct the path and filename to match your used tool.

Now ALL selected files (only left, only right or both) will be found.

That works for compare. Thanks.

I do think that a parameter to pick all selected files from ALL open tabs is a useful one for other programs besides a compare program.
