Skipping the "Pack files" dialog

[chasbas]

I find myself using external packers (like makebat) more and more, and I am wondering if there is a way to create a cm_ function that could be assigned to a button or a shortcut key that could jump directly to the custom "pack" dialog instead of having to go thru the "Pack files" dialog first.

For example, maybe there could be commands like cm_PackFiles1 through cm_PackFiles9, and then a section in the .ini file like

• [PackFiles]
  1=bat
  2=lst
  3=zip

Then when cm_Packfiles2 is invoked through a hotkey or button, instead of seeing the Pack Files dialog you would go directly to the custom dialog for "lst" files. If there is no such dialog, like for ZIP files, this would be a quick way of invoking the compression using all the current default values.

This could be achieved with scripting/macroes if they where introduced in TC!
