Oh yes, I see, pardon, now that I look at it again, so a contextual menu only inside my app, will only be available to my app, and no where else. where as system wide, (say a utility for launching an app or performing a scripted function) would be available even as sort of a standalone context menu....

Hi, thanks for the reply, I was hoping to find a method of using it from within a standalone app, I was looking at some other methods of doing that, I just could not find anything in black and white, on creating a custom contextual menu item, thanks for any suggestion, I appreciate it,

I am interested in learning about how to create a custom contextual menu so I can manage and integrate repetitive tasks without having to access the standard menu bar. I should also say that my goal would be to use the same code across platforms, at least for windows and MAC OSX I looked into the di...

Thanks for those links I was just looking around to see what I could learn about this topic, I know there was some talk of updating the browser external at some point but I do not think they have progressed on it as yet, still looking at using the web plugin too but that is still in development, I a...

FWIW... In Windows 7, Internet Explorer seems to also open URLs in tabs, by default, using "launch url", but Safari in OS X appears to open each in its own window by default. Maybe you could experiment with other browsers... Also, you could have very legitimate reasons for your preference - and the...

Hi, Tim. This isn't really "the answer" to your question, but... This may depend entirely on how the user's browser itself handles this and/or how the user has set it up. My default browser is Opera and if I use "launch url" multiple times, each url will open in a new tab within one window. However...

I am looking into a method of opening up a browser window, and then a subsequent, tab and wondered if anyone here might have a suggestion of how to accomplish this. To explain the idea behind this, I have several URLs that I would like open up in a browser but not a browser instance for each URL So ...

Thank you for that reply, I appreciate the link, I do seem to remember that many of my app broke some time ago but I did not find the cause of it,

this explains the issue, and thanks also for the code example, that should help put things into perspective.

I have a small app I am trying to get to work in a standalone form, currently it works in the IDE, but once it is compiled into a standalone, it fails to function, due to a path issue, put the filename of this stack into fld "filename" set the itemdel to slash get fld "filename" ## Since I know the ...

I have been experimenting with a player object, setting the source from the available media in a folder. command setupsource get fld "playersource" put it into sourceVar ## set the filename of player "Player1" to sourceVar ## find a way to get the rec of the video ##set the rec of player1 to tRec se...

very nice, I will have to check that out, thanks for posting.

Thanks Klaus, I can see how it works now, also perhaps they will change, up the revlet in the future.

thanks for taking time to post, it is always appreciated.

I am trying to create a list of MP3 files in folders using a QT player, to play the files, So far I can list mp3 files in a single folder, and play those files one by one, I have several folders with MP3 files, I was hoping to create a pulldown menu where the folders of the active directory is liste...

Thanks, yes, that does it, nice thanks

I was looking at some file examples, which works very nicely however, I wanted to only return a specific files such as an MP3 file and ignoring all other files in the folder. any thoughts or suggestions, would be greatly appreciated, I tried a couple of different settings, but just keep getting all ...
