User-defined commands and file type context menu

Help & Support
1

Hello again,

I defined an user-defined command like
"Executable" "&FILES&"
How can I use that user-defined command in an file type context menu? I have problems with parameters, in that case &FILES&.

Many thanks and greetings

You should be able to pass it files the same way as a normal command.

Hard to say what's going wrong without the full details of the command and how you're trying to run it. Can we see those?

Hello Leo,

my problem is that I use in the user-defined command "&FILES&" as placeholder. When I use a file type context menu then it's {filepath$}. So my question is how I can "pass" {filepath$} to my user-defined command as "&FILES&"?

Many thanks and greetings

The placeholder &FILES& is replaced by the value of the argument FILES that you pass to your command. So probably you want something like YourCommand FILES "{filepath$}". But as Leo said, without seeing how your command is defined it's hard to be sure.
