First add your command as "em_MyCommand" to the usercmd.ini .
Then use em_MyCommand like MENUITEM "My new command", em_MyCommand.



Find more info by searching for "usercmd.ini"
(e.g. there http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=291895#291895)







For examples take a look at

Extended English Menus for Total Commander (by petermad)
http://www.totalcmd.net/authors/1223914.html


e.g.


wcmd_ext2_eng.ini (same technic as "usercmd.ini")

Code: Select all

[em_ext_calc]
cmd=calc.exe

[em_ext_notepad]
cmd=%SystemRoot%\notepad.exe

wcmd_ext2_eng.mnu (like "WCMD_ENG.MNU")

Code: Select all

POPUP "Windows &XP"
  POPUP "&Programs"
    MENUITEM "Calculator", em_ext_calc
    MENUITEM "Notepad", em_ext_notepad

You will have to make an em_command and use that in the menu

MENUITEM "name", em_fullpath

To make an em command run the internal command: cm_CommandBrowser (you can do that from the command line).

In the "Choose Command" dialog you go all the way down in the list on the left side where you select the item "usercmd.ini".

Here you can now click on the "New" button whereafter you give the command you are about to make with the name: em_fullpath.

In the "Change user command: em_fullpath" dialog fill in the field "Command:" with: fullpath.exe - the dialog is prety much like the dialog for making buttons on the button bar.

Now the menu item "name" will execute fullpath.exe when you click it.


In stead of using usercmd.ini to store your em_command you can also use the wcmd_XXX.ini file that corresponds to your wcmd_XXX.mnu file.

Then you just go all the way to the bottom of list in the left side of the "Choose Command" dialog where you should find the wcmd_XXX.ini item that corresponds to your wcmd_XXX.mmu file.

You can download my Extended Total Commander Menus (see link in my signature) - here you can see the use of hundreds of em_commands
