* Integration Into Common Tools
** Integration into Windows File Explorer
The easiest way to integrate =appendfilename= into File Explorer
("Send to" context menu) is by using [[https://github.com/novoid/integratethis][integratethis]].
Execute this in your command line environment:
: pip install appendfilename integratethis
: integratethis appendfilename --confirm
*** Windows File Explorer for single files (manual method)
Use this only if the [[https://github.com/novoid/integratethis][integratethis]] method can not be applied:
Create a registry file =add_appendfilename_to_context_menu.reg= and edit it
to meet the following template. Please make sure to replace the paths
(python, =USERNAME= and =appendfilename=) accordingly:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;; for files:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\appendfilename]
@="appendfilename (single file)"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\appendfilename\command]
@="C:\\Python36\\python.exe C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\src\\appendfilename\\appendfilename\\__init__.py -i \"%1\""
#+END_EXAMPLE
Execute the reg-file, confirm the warnings (you are modifying your
Windows registry after all) and cheer up when you notice "appendfilename
(single file)" in the context menu of your Windows Explorer.
As the heading and the link name suggests: [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6440715/how-to-pass-multiple-filenames-to-a-context-menu-shell-command][this method works on single
files]]. So if you select three files and invoke this context menu item,
you will get three different filetag-windows to tag one file each.
*** Windows File Explorer for single and multiple selected files (manual method)
Use this only if the [[https://github.com/novoid/integratethis][integratethis]] method can not be applied:
Create a batch file in your home directory. Adapt the paths to meet
your setup. The content looks like:
: C:\Python36\python.exe C:\Users\USERNAME\src\appendfilename\appendfilename\__init__.py -i %*
If you want to confirm the process (and see error messages and so
forth), you might want to append as well following line:
: set /p DUMMY=Hit ENTER to continue ...
My batch file is located in =C:\Users\USERNAME\bin\appendfilename.bat=. Now
create a lnk file for it (e.g., via Ctrl-Shift-drag), rename the lnk
file to =appendfilename.lnk= and move the lnk file to
=~/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/SendTo/=.
This way, you get a nice entry in your context menu sub-menu "Send to"
which is also correctly tagging selection of files as if you put the
list of selected items to a single call of appendfilename.
