"Open with program" command/execution mode?

Well one way may be to simply add a standard FS browser and enhance the extension manager.
Allow for more than one program to be registered per file extension, just as native Windows, have a single default but also a limited list of alternatives for a given filetype. Ideally you could tap into the idea of a filetype with multiple possible extensions, like HTM=HTML etc, but that's another topic.
Then in the SyMenu file browser, select your file(s) then right-click and SendTo comes up with the program choices registered.
Perhaps allow the user to specify one or more program(s) that are specified to show as available to handle any filetype, including those with no extension. |
