Custom hotkeys for opening files

[Publipor]

Hi there. It is possible to open a file with an external program, but not by dragging it (file ) to the icon in the toolbar, but by using hotkeys.

Why don't you use parameters in the button for your program to open the file ?
If you want to use a hotkey, define an em_command for your tool.
Then you can assign a hotkey to it under Configuration / Misc

Horst.Epp,

Why don't you use parameters in the button for your program to open the file ?

One argument might be that some people prefer using the keyboard compared to a mouse.

Thanks for the answer. Could you tell me which command should be inserted so that the program picks up the path to the file

Use %P%N instead of %D

%P%N is the file (with full path) under the cursor in TC's file panel
%D is for a file containing a list of the selected file names.

Thank you for helping to solve the problem. Happy holidays to you
