By the same argument, you could say chere has nothing to do with cygwin, just add your own action to the folder options... But, I still can't see how to do this. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. I can associate a file type, say 'TXT' with an 'open' action that starts emacs, for example, but how do I get the submenu with a list of possible programs to open with? > That said I proposed something similar a while back on cygwin-apps > with no take up. > > http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-11/msg00274.html Ah, yes, that's exactly the kind of issues I'm looking at. I should have known someone else had already thought of it!
