-
- This program allows you to take advantage of the Drag & Drop capabilities of the
- Windows File Manager and other program shells. To configure DDLaunch, click _ONCE_
- on the Target Icon that appears when you run DDLaunch, and select "Configure".
- Then, type in a title and template. The title will appear under the target icon,
- and the template is the command that will be executed when you drop one or more
- files on the target icon.
-
- Some examples of why you might want to do this are in order.
-
- 1) Most people leave 'BAT' set up as a program from within Windows. If DDLaunnch
- is configured to run the Windows Notepad, then you can drag a .BAT file from
- File Manager to the Target, and it will run Notepad with your batch file loaded.
- The title would be "Notepad" and the template would be "notepad.exe"
-
- 2) To view .ZIP files, configure DDLaunch with a title "View Zips" and a
- template "pkzip -v"
-
- 3) To compress files into a zip, configure DDLaunch with a title "Zip" and a
- template "pkzip -m rename.me"
-
- You can save templates, and DDLaunch can be started with any saved template by
- placing its title on the command line. For example, to run DDLaunch using the
- "ZIP" template given above (assuming that it had been saved), start DDLaunch with
- this command:
-
- DDLAUNCH ZIP
