Title: Quick Launch Customization
Post by: ericyellen on October 16, 2012, 22:01:39

I want to create a quick launch button that opens the current selected folder in an external program. In the Quick Launch Customization window, I have the program path set and have ${focusfilepath} as the program parameter.  I get an error that ${focusfilepath} is invalid. How do pass the selected folder to the external program?

You may create user defined command, set its type to "Custom Commands" and text to

Code: [Select]

MC.Run CMD=x:\some_path\some_prog.exe ARG=${focusfilepath}
And then insert that command as a button into Quick launch

x:\some_path\some_prog.exe = path to your program

Quicklaunch are just a launch area. And does not support replace tags. (with the expectation of environment variables)

But using a User Defined Command like jungle describes is the way to go if you want to connect a Quick Launch button with the file listing.
