How to Drop&Run?
« on: Today at 02:42:08 »
Windows Explorer accepts dragging a file onto another executable, putting the file path in the argument and executing it. Can Multi Commander do this? I've tried Alt, Ctrl, Shift, but it doesn't work.

It is possible if you put that executable on the QuickLaunch bar or Button panel.

Example for QuickLaunch bar:
1. Drag'n'drop some executable on the QL bar
2. Customize it by right-clicking the icon and selecting "Customize..." (here you can choose how the dropped files shoud be handled)
3. Now you can drag'n'drop other files on that icon, and they will be opened in that program

Example for Button Panel:
1. Enable wizard mode (Menu Configuration > Toggle button panel wizard mode)
2. Drag'n'drop some executable on the desired button
3. In the settings window check "Accept dropped files..."
4. Disable wizard mode (Menu Configuration > Toggle button panel wizard mode)
5. Now you can drag'n'drop other files on that icon, and they will be opened in that program
