I need to open the file using Windows 10 cmd. But when the file opens, I need Windows to show me a modal window "How do you want to open this file?". The system should do this even if it already has a program selected by default to open a certain type of file. Is it possible to do this?
To clarify my problem:
I need the console to run for example ".py" not through the standard Python.File="C:\Windows\py.exe " "%L" %*, and for example via VS Code. You might tell me about the VS Code CLI. But how to handle an event where the user will not have VS Code, but for example Pycharm, and the user will want to open it through it? That is why the question was posed in such a way that the user could choose through what to open the file already through the built-in modal window in Windows. In any case, I will be glad of any suggestion to solve my problem.
I tried to find something similar, but apart from the standard start something.som I didn't find it. And this is not a solution to the problem, because start starts the file in the program that is specified by default in the system. This program may not even be the one that the user ever chose later. I came across a similar question in Stackoverflow, where a person wanted to see which program was responsible for opening a file with a certain extension, where assoc and ftype were used, but they did not give the desired result.
I am have searched all over the internet to find a solution to my problem.
My problem is I want to add comments to several different video files on windows 10. Opening Properties and Switching to detail tab and editing the comments is too slow for me.
How do I make this fast?
I have thought of creating a windows keyboard shortcut but unable to find information about it. H
You can use an utility like e.g. FFMpeg to add specific tags to videos. I'd also look into Medianfo utility, it has Python wrapper - PyMedianfo.
Then you can use Autohotkey to create an input box and a shortcut that runs the utility to read or write video tags.
I have an Inno Setup project. Everything is fine, but I do not see the application icon in the "Programs and Features" control panel area. I do see the icon everywhere else.
The script file does have the following:
[Setup]
SetupIconFile={#MySetupImageIco}
Is there something else that I need to set to get the application icon to show in the Programs and Features control panel applet? I am testing against Windows 8.1.
UPDATE:
Based upon comments, I tried setting in my script:
UninstallDisplayIcon={#MySetupImageIco}
Sadly, that did not yield the icon in the Add/Remove aka Programs and Features Control Panel applet.
UPDATE #2:
The winning solution is:
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\{#MyAppExeName}
Naturally, there has to be a #define MyAppExeName "whatever.exe" above that at the top of the script. Interesting that when I specified the path to the ico file, I had no success. Inno Setup for Windows 8 and 8.1 wants what I just said. Windows 7 works with UninstallDisplayIcon and specifying the path to the ICO or without that, just Windows 8 and 8.1 are a bit different.
Solution is:
Add
[Setup]
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\{#MyAppExeName}
Specifying the actual ico file did not work, but this entry did.
I tested against Windows 8/8.1. Windows 7 works without this line.
I can confirm this as a working solution too (Win7 x64):
[Setup]
UninstallDisplayIcon={uninstallexe}
What I really love here it's independent to app name etc. Just pure alias to uninstaller.
Found at https://dutchgemini.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/innosetup-and-the-missing-uninstall-icon-on-windows-7
In Windows 11, you can use the icon file itself.
UninstallDisplayIcon=C:\Path\to\ico\file
does the thing.
Worked for me.
Add
It should be
UninstallDisplayIcon= {app}ForwardSlash{#MyAppExeName}
I tested it against Windows 10 latest build.
I had a problem with your #MyAppExeName solution because I use the OutputBaseFilename directive. A more elegant solution is:
UninstallDisplayIcon={srcexe}
I've started to use Sublime Text again and I'd really like to have a package to load up Windows CLI in a tab so I can, say, create a new project for scrapy, or just browse through the directories.
Does a package like this exist? If not, how would I go about doing something like this?
Something like bash built into ST3 would be great, I really miss using ls.
Give Glue a shot. It's a cross-platform non-interactive interface to your shell that can be used inside Sublime Text.

Do you know of any Eclipse plugin to run a system shell in the included console?
It would be awesome. Dolphin, KDE's file navigator, has this feature, you can press F4 and a console shows located on the directory you are standing.
It would be awesome to have a similar feature on Eclipse, with the shell located on the directory of the project/file you are working on.
Does this plugin exist?
If not, would it be too complicated to code such a plugin? I have no idea about eclipse plugin development (yet).
It exists, and it's built into Eclipse! Go to the Remote Systems view, and you'll see an entry for "Local". Right-click "Local Shells" and choose "Launch Shell."
You can't launch it directly from the project navigator. But you can right-click in the navigator and choose "Show in Remote Systems view". From there you can right-click the parent folder and choose "Launch Shell."
Aptana also has a Terminal view, and a command to open the selected file in the terminal.
You don't need a plugin (including the Remote System View plugin), you can do this with the basic platform. You just create an external tool configuration. I've added an image to demonstrate.
Orange Arrows: Use the external tool button on the toolbar and select External Tools Configuration.... Click on Program then up above click on the New launch configuration icon.
Green Arrows: Use the Name field and name your new tool something clever like "Launch Shell". In the Location area enter a shell command e.g. /bin/bash. A more generic approach would be to use ${env_var:SHELL} which under the Mac (and I hope Linux) launches the default shell. Then in the Working Directory you can use the variable ${project_loc} to set the default directory to your current project location. This will mean that when you launch the tool, you have to make sure you have your cursor in an active project on the explorer or in an appropriate editor window. Under the Arguments area use -i for interactive mode.
Blue arrows: Switch to the Build tab and uncheck Build before launch. Then switch to the Common tab and click to add your command to the favorites menu. Now click Apply and Close. Make sure the console view is showing (Window->Show View->Console). Click on a project in the Package or Project Explorer or click in an editor window that has code for a project of interest. Then click on the external tool icon and select Launch Shell, you now have an interactive shell window in the console view.
In the lower left of the image you can see the tcsh shell in action.
Windows Note:
This also works in Windows but you use ${env_var:ComSpec} in the location field and you can leave the arguments field blank.
Eclipse TCF team has just release terminal (SSH, Telnet, local)
originally named TCF Terminal, then renamed to TM Terminal
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/tcf-terminals
Finally Windows and Linux all supported
Support for Git Bash on Windows is resolved Bug 435014.
This plugin is included into Enide Studio 2014 and Enide 2015.
To access the terminal go to Window -> Show View -> Terminal or Ctrl+Alt+T
Terminal plug-in for Eclipse provides a command line view (= INSIDE Eclipse), at the moment Linux and Mac OS X only, Windows is missing. For Windows, use JW's aproach.
(source: developerblogs.com)
Update 1:
They are working on Windows support, see this issue and a basic implementation.
Update 2: Not working on it since Aug 2013.
Add C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe as an external tool. Once run, you can then access it via the normal eclipse console.
http://www.avajava.com/tutorials/lessons/how-do-i-open-a-windows-command-prompt-in-my-console.html
(source: avajava.com)
Simply create a new external tool configuration (from Eclipse Run -> External Tools)
for example - To open Cygwin terminal on the current resource directory:
Location:
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe
Working Directory:
${container_loc}
Arguments:
-i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico
-"cygpath -p '${container_loc}' | xargs cd"
I really like StartExplorer but it is a contextual launcher rather than in - IDE shell so not sure if that is what you want
Aptana Studio 3 includes such terminal. I found it to be very similar to native terminal compared to what's mentioned in other answers.
The best solution I have been able to find is TCF Terminals 1.2 (Luna).
You start off with a Windows command prompt.
If you like git bash, you can get git bash going inside it like this:
The trick is the command:
D:\Apps\Git\bin\sh.exe --login -i
Change this command path to wherever you installed git. The arguments --login -i are key.
... just a little bit late :)
you might give a try at http://code.google.com/p/tarlog-plugins/. It gives you options like open shell and open explorer from Project Explorer context menu.
There's also http://sourceforge.net/projects/explorerplugin/ but it seems kind of stuck at 2009.
You can also use the Termial view to ssh/telnet to your local machine. Doesn't have that funny input box for commands.
I recommend EasyShell, which features 'open' (console), 'run', 'explore', and 'copy path'.
I wrote this to get a native shell...it uses the same GTK widget the gnome-terminal uses so the behavior should be nearly identical.

In Eclipse 3.7, I found a terminal view plugin that I installed through Eclipse Marketplace. Details are as follow:
Local Terminal (Incubation)
http://market.eclipsesource.com/yoxos/node/org.eclipse.tm.terminal.local.feature.group
A terminal emulation for local shells and external tools.
Requires CDT Core 7.0 or later. Works on Linux, Solaris and Mac. Includes Source.
Side note, this terminal does not execute .bash_profile or .bashrc so you can do
source ~/.bash_profile
and (if this isn't sourced by `.bash_profile)
source ~/.bashrc
Update:
This is actually was base for Terminal plug-in for Eclipse fork. Quote from http://alexruiz.developerblogs.com/?p=2428

Alex, why not aiming for rejoining your work with the original TM Terminal? I’ve checked and haven’t found any bugzilla asking for missing features or pointing out bugs. There had been changes to the original Terminal control, so I’m not sure if all of your original reasons to clone it are still true.
I just found out about WickedShell, but it seems to work wrong with GNU/Linux and bash. Seems like some sort of encoding issue, all the characters in my prompt are displayed wrong.
Seems to be the best (only) tool for the job anyways, so I'll give it some more testing and see if it's good enough. I'll contact the developer anyways about this issue.
