Windows Explorer Right Click - Open file in Air App

I have an AIR App that I made to run on my desktop. It is used for editing specifc XML files. I want to know if its possible to setup so that I can right click on an XML file while browsing Windows Explorer and choose an option to "Open in (my AIR App)" ... that would lauch my AIR app and also open the xml.
Right now, I have to launch my AIR app, click to open a file, and then browse for the file and select it.

ok so after all of this time, i stumbled upon something that should solve my problem. i created a new AIR file in flash and put a text field on the stage with the name "my_txt" then I just added this bit of script (below) .... then once I installed the air app, i opened a file into the app and the path to the file was displayed in the text box thats on the stage. now i just have to use this path to actually open the file.
import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, invoked);
function invoked(evt:InvokeEvent):void{
my_txt.text = String(evt.arguments[0]);

Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)

When I right click on a batch of PDF files in Windows Exploer (WinXP) and click "Print" Reader used to print them all to
my default printer. With Reader X windows waits patiently for me to close Reader before printing each file.

Subject: Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)
I am also getting exactly the same problem, highlighting multiple pdf files right clicking and choosing "print" prints the first document, fails to close the adobe x window and sits there patiently untill it's manualy closed and then the next document prints - repeat - loop.
Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.

To unpack an llb in Windows Explorer, right-click and choose from "Unpack" options (like WinZip...)

Greetings,
To unpack an LLB in Windows Explorer, it would be convenient to right-click on the LLB and have an option to Unpack to current directory. WinZip does this (for .zip files) via "Extract" options.
Then again, people may prefer using the "LLB Manager"(?)

Right Click Open file with

When i right click on an mp3 file to open it using another application than the default itunes, I am presented with a list containing the applications I installed but weird enough is that in the list their is also Quicktime and iTunes, what is weird is not their presence but that each of them is listed twice. It is like Quicktime then under it Quicktime then under it in the menu iTunes then under it iTunes again. Can anyone tell me how can i remove the duplication from the menu. Both of them lead to the same version, I mean both Quicktime links lead to the same Quicktime app & not that each one is for a separate version.

I believe that applications are listed twice as Universal binaries are able to open the file in two way…
1) As an Intel native application
2) As a PowerPC application under Rosetta
As it turns out, it doesn't matter which of the two you list as the application will always open as an Intel binary unless you force it to open under Rosetta (there's an option in the Get Info wwindoe for the application).
While it can be a bit strange it is in fact correct. The list should however reflect this in some way whether it only lists an application once else signifies the PPC versions.

Windows explorer won't open files on double clicking

When Combining PDF files in Windows Explorer (Right Clicking ...)

Windows Server 2008 R2: Different file associations when double-clicking vs. right-click - open

I have a basic .xml file on my Windows 2008 R2 desktop. I have set the file association for .xml files to Adobe FrameMaker 12. When I double-click the .xml file, it opens with FrameMaker. When I right-click -> open the .xml file, it opens with Notepad.
I need the .xml file to always open with FrameMaker, even when I use right-click -> open. How can I set this up for all users on a Windows 2008 R2 server?
Thank you!

Hi Nicole,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
When you double-click on a file in Windows explorer, the Windows shell looks up the extension of the file in the registry to see if the extension is registered. If the extension is not registered, Windows displays the Open With dialog box, allowing the
user to choose an application to associate with the file type. If the extension is registered, Windows calls the ShellExecute() function with a command of "open." It also passes the name of the file that was double-clicked as a command line parameter.
Associations go further than simply opening a file, though. If you right-click on a text file (.TXT) in Explorer you will see two items at the top of the context menu. The first is named Open. Choosing this menu item is the same as double-clicking the
file in Explorer. When you choose Open, NOTEPAD.EXE will be started with the selected file loaded (assuming a default Windows installation). The second menu item is called Print. Clicking this menu item will cause the file to be printed without displaying
Notepad at all.
There is some registry setting for the application association to take place, you can edit them under following path.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Test App File
(Quoted from below article)
More information:
Using file associations
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Right click Open With sometimes not working (Photoshop Elements 9, Windows Vista)

We recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 7 to Photoshop Elements 9. We are running Windows Vista.
Last night, my wife was right clicking on JPEG images in her My Pictures subfolders and choosing "Open With" to open the files with Photoshop Elements. In some cases, this worked. In other cases she would right click the file, Adobe Photoshop Elements would start, but the picture itself would not display.
I tested one of these pictures and was able to open it with other applications, and was able to open it by choosing "Open" from Photoshop Elements' file menu.
Has anyone run into this before? Why are some pictures not opening when you right-click and use "Open With"?

Hi,
you can make PSE9 default program for opening any image on you vista machine.
Then it souhld work fine.
cheers,
Sam

Missing options of "Enter Private Browsing" "Open new tab" and "Open new window" when right click (right context menu) firefox icon on taskbar

Missing options of "Enter Private Browsing" "Open new tab" and "Open new window" when right click (right context menu) firefox icon on taskbar.
i already tired complete uninstall and reinstall, but the options are still missing.

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

Can windows 7 'open with' right click open more than 1 picture at a time?

A few times I have been given a usb drive or SD card & asked to enhance a few pictures for someone. I usually just select one picture & then right click open wirh & select PSE. The problem with doing this is that I can only send one picture at a time to PSE. Is it possible to get the open with command to have more than 1 picture open? I'm using windows 7 pro.

Hi,
You could try using the "Send To" option but you first have to create a shortcut.
Use the windows explorer to navigate to
C:\Users\"Your User Name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
In that folder create a new shortcut to the PSE editor.
Then you use it by selecting the images you want to process, right click and select Send To - the editor should appear in the list.
Hope that helps

Right-clicking Open Link in New Tab or Window doesn't work

After upgrading to the latest version, 30.0, the right-click functions to Open link in New Tab or New Window stopped working. When I click the link that I would like to open in new tab or window, the right click window appears, I click on the desired function, and the right click window closes and nothing happens.
I restarted in safe mode and the problem remains. I am using Windows XP. I also tried uninstalling Firefox and then doing a clean re-install and that didn't help.
For now I went back to using version 29.0.1. Yes, I know that it isn't as safe but I can't use Version 30. without the right-click options!!!
I really wish the developers would focus on fixing bugs, vulnerabilities, etc. and leave the basic functions alone! The old saying if it isn't broken don't "fix" it!!!!!

This didn't fix the problem so I have decided to revert to the previous version: 24.6.0 esr. Maybe when version 31 or 32 come around I come back to the "latest" version?

I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
You can also create an Automator Service:
Open Automator
Select: Service
Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
and:
Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).

Does icloud change the menu from when you right click a file or folder on a windows computer?

I have icloud on my pc with the windows 7 operating system.
I currently see some changes to the menu from right clicking
a file or folder that looks like it is from icloud, but there is something
on the menu that I just noticed now. I am wondering if it is also from
icloud. There are two options named, "copy to folder" and "move to folder."
Is it from icloud or is it not?

Capricornio
This is the Finder crashing and relaunching. It's probably caused by a dodgy contextual menu module (CMM). I've noticed people complain that a Stuffit Module is causing this problem. CMM's are stored at HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items or Home/Library/Contextual Menu Items. Try removing them and logging out and back in again, a little trial an error will find the one causing the problem.
