In a button, menu item or hotkey.

See the [toolbar editing tutorial video](https://resource.dopus.com/t/toolbar-editing-video-tutorial/1205/1) for a quick-start on how to edit buttons.

Edit: Including follow-up info from our private message in case it helps anyone else:

You create a new button on your toolbar which runs the command I provided, then select the files and click the button you created.

To create a new button, select Settings -\> Customize (a Customize window will appear; ignore that for now), then right-click some empty space on your toolbar and select New -\> New Button.

Paste the command I provided into the Function: field of the button, then click OK in that, and click OK in the Customize window that appeared earlier.

Now select a test file and click the button. Its description should be changed to its path.
