Launch Opus from a Windows Explorer selected file

[opw62]

Up front: I know Opus does not replace the File Open/Save dialog.

This is the situation.
Running Excel, some Excel workbook is open.

Now, from within Excel I use a button that opens the folder of that specific workbook and selects the Workbook in question.

From that point (selected folder/file) I would like to launch Opus from context menu.

There is only 1 Directory Opus related context menu item: Directory Opus Archive.

Q: How to add another item that will, let's say, more or less replace Explorer on that point, i.e. open same folder and select same file based on Explorer's file selection.
So I can use the Opus features.

Thanks.

Save the following as Add_DOpus_RightClick.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\OpenWithDOpus]
@="Open with Directory Opus"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\GPSoftware\\Directory Opus\\dopus.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\OpenWithDOpus\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\GPSoftware\\Directory Opus\\dopusrt.exe\" /open \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\OpenWithDOpus]
@="Open with Directory Opus"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\GPSoftware\\Directory Opus\\dopus.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\OpenWithDOpus\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\GPSoftware\\Directory Opus\\dopusrt.exe\" /open \"%1\""

Remove_DOpus_RightClick.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\OpenWithDOpus]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\OpenWithDOpus]

Or AutoHotkey script (hotkey):
File Managers Redirection

Great!!

Thank you very much indeed.

Works flawlessly.
Should have asked this earlier, but went on the 'old fashioned' way so far:
click, click, browse, click, click...

Again, many thanks!
