SyMenu Open folder
Prerequisites
SyMenu version 8.00 or higher.
Description
I really hate when SyMenu opens a folder in Windows Explorer because I'm used to work with some Explorer replacement tools. BTW my favourite one is Total Commander.
Well when SyMenu opens a folder I usually have to copy the full path from Explorer and past it to TC to do what I need because I totally disaccustomed to the way Explorer works.
But since SyMenu supports a "rude and raw" plugin system, why don't write anything to make this work for me??? Well this is the spirit of IT programs!!
Installation:
- Download the archive and extract the folder contained into \SyMenu\Plugin\
SyMenu.Plugin.OpenFolder.zip

Hi Gianluca,
WOW - that's great! I also use TotalCommander and also hate opening folders in the Eplorer. 
I use TC as one instance only - so it should be possible only to start TC again.
btw. I get no entry for plugins in menu.

Well to make SyMenu shows a menu entry for plugins you have to "install" at least one plugin.
To "install" a plugin you have to:
- update SyMenu to the last available version
- download the plugin
- unzip the package inside the SyMenu 'Plugin' folder (you can find it at the same level of Config, Icons, Profiles and ProgramFiles folders)
- every SyMenu plugin must reside inside a specific subfolder. In case of this plugin its folder is called 'SyMenu.Plugin.OpenFolder'
- restart SyMenu and configure your new plugin
I know that the procedure could be automated but for now it is not possible.
Let me know if you have any problems with that (it is experimental yet).

Thanks Gianluca.
My "problem" was that the plugin-dll was directly in the plugin-folder - not in a separate subfolder.
Now all works.
Opening folders from SyMenu in TC works fine - tested with about 4 folders.
It opens everytime a new tab in TC. That's good!
If I found bugs, I will let you know. But for now - nothing.
