Hi there I'm on Dopus 12 and Windows 11, wondering if there might be a way to replace the deprecated Quick Launch functionality with Dopus in such a way that I could drag a file onto an app to open the app with that file like Quick Launch used to work before Windows 11? Many thanks ahead
A floating or docked toolbar could be used for something similar. It would not be part of the main Windows taskbar though.
That would be good because I'm dragging the file from dopus anyway. Can I add a toolbar by pointing it to a folder with shortcuts?
Yes, you should be able to. See Start Menu button for something similar.
Thank you, I managed to add the shortcuts to a new toolbar, but when I drag two files and drop them on WinMergePortable, it opens two instances instead of one with both files (in order to automatically compare the two). Is it possible to have dopus open one instance of the app with both files?
What command does your WinMergePortable button currently run?
I think it's @async:"C:.....\WinMergePortable.exe" {filepath|noterm}
Should it be something like ....\WinMergePortable.exe" %1 %2?
As per the documentation:
filepath: Passes the full path and filename of each selected item. Files are passed one at a time - a command that uses this code will be repeated once for each additional selected item.
But, you can use:
allfilepath: Passes the full path and filename of all selected items at once. The command will only be run once, no matter how many items are selected - the names of all selected items will be passed on the command line separated by spaces.
As per the WinMerge documentation (Command line - WinMerge 2.16 Manual), you should use:
@async:"C:\.....\WinMergePortable\App\WinMerge64\WinMergeU.exe {allfilepath}
Thank you this works!
