I want to add a combo of actions to right click menu for any file. Lets say I have files on \fileserver\file.exe; word.doc; text.txt...... I would like to have an option to copy that .exe file to local c:\test folder and then open that word.doc file when I right click on that .exe file.
What option do I have to perform this? Regedit? or third party tools?
I found some third party tools that can modify right click menu, but they can't add new functions into it.
Any idea?

When I install PhpStorm from JetBrains Toolbox app I do not have an option to open folders as project when right clicking
Sadly JetBrains Toolbox App does not provide such functionality. Only standalone installer has an option to make them right now. You will have to either use that... or create such entries manually.
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-2478 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified with any progress.
To add an entry to the Windows Explorer's right-click menu:
you can use FileTypesMan by NirSoft or a similar tool.
or create such entry manually, e.g. see this comment for a basic .bat file: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-114307#comment=27-2125363 (at very least it lists Registry keys where to create such an entry).
I found this from Jet Brains :
Click Open on the Welcome screen or select File | Open from the main menu.
In the Select Path dialog, select the directory that contains the project to open.
Drag the desired project from your file chooser right to the Open Project dialog without locating it there. The respective file in the dialog will be found automatically.
Specify whether you want to open the project in a new window, close the current project and reuse the existing window, or open the new project in the same window with the current one. Refer to the Opening multiple projects section for details.
and for the command line you could use this :
<PhpStorm> <path_to_the_project folder>
See Open files from the command line for more information.
I would like to move GlobalSuppressions.cs (Suppress Code Analysis) from project root in special folder.
Example
I would like to use one GlobalSuppressions.cs file in several projects of one solutions.
I don't think it is possible to move it. If you do, it simple recreates the file in the root folder. If you wanted to share the file, then you could:
Right-click on the other project
Click Add Existing Item
Locate the GlobalSuppressions.cs file and select it (single-click only)
Click the down-arrow just to the right of the Add button
Select Add As Link
This will basically add a shortcut to the file in your other project. You can tell if it has worked because the file icon in Solution Explorer will have a little blue arrow and square.
All images and header files are looking very confusing. So i want to separate all images and other files into different groups. Anyone please help me
To organize your files on disk, simply make the folders you want to make in the Finder and drag the files to them. To do this, open the folder containing your .xcodeproj file in the Finder. Use Cmd-Shift-N to create a new folder or choose "New Folder" from the "File" menu. You'll be prompted to give the folder a name. You'll probably want to name it something like "Images" or "Headers". Once the folder is created, you can simply click on an image file and drag it to the "Images" folder (or whatever you named it). Repeat the process for any files you want to move.
Once you've done the above, the files may display as red in Xcode's Project Navigator. If that's the case, you need to select the file in Xcode's Project Navigator and show the "Utilities" pane (the right-most button in the toolbar opens and closes the Utilities pane). There are 2 tabs in the Utilities pane - the File Inspector and Quick Help. Click on the File Inspector. It should display the name of your file, the type, and the location. Next to the "Location" is an icon of a folder. Click on the folder and you'll be presented with a file navigation dialog. Navigate to the new location of the file and select it. Click the "Choose" button and the file will be re-connected in Xcode.
You may need to repeat the process for any files you moved into new folders.
In Xcode you can also use 'groups'. A kind of virtual directory structure.
Iu the left xcode column (the Navigator), right click and select 'group'
I never use "Add existing item..." feature in Visual Studio's Solution Explorer because it is confusing:
it seems to me the way it should work is that if you have a Customer.cs file in Models directory, that you could choose "Add existing item", it would then show you which items exist in that directory an allow you to choose one. Instead, it opens a file dialogue to some seemingly random directory on your hard drive, and I'm not sure if it is going to make a copy of that file, or use it outside the solution, etc.
instead, if I want to "add an existimg item", I go into windows explorer, click file, CTRL-C, click folder in solution explorer, ctrl-v, and it is clear
Do others do it differently? Am I missing something about how "add existing item" in solution explorer is supposed to work?
The folder opens where-ever you last left it...
As for using this feature; by default (Add) it does IMO the least useful thing; copy the file. But if you notice, the add button is actually a drop-down; hit the down arrow and you can add a link to the file - i.e. leave it where it is and reference it by location (Add As Link).
The quick and easy way to do what you are trying to do (add an existing file that already exists within the folder in your project) is:
At the top of the Solution Explorer window is an icon/button for "Show All Files", enable it (if it is already enabled and the file you are looking for is not shown, click "Refresh"). Note that this setting is enabled on a per project basis.
Right click on the file that you want to include and select "Include in Project".
Add Existing file adds the file to the project. Keeping it in the project directory is something different and making it a part of the project is something different. By making it a part of the project, its entry is made in .csproj/.vcproj/etc and then further properties can be set of this file such as specifying a custom build step etc.
And No, it doesn't create a copy of the file in your current project's directory in case of a Visual C++ project. In case of a CSharp Project, it does create a copy.
e.g., I use this when I need to add a bitmap/png file in my project which I have gotten from an external source. I just copy the file to my project directory and then use Add Existing File to add this to the project.
I'm using it. I even didn't know it's possible to ctrl+c ctrl+v in solution explorer.
It's particulary handy, if you want to add something 'as link'.
I do use it but often I just add file as a link. That make it easier to maintain some common classes if you do not want to make full assembly out of them.
As far as my experience goes using this function, it does the same copy and paste that you are describing.
I use Visual Studio to do a lot of my coding. I find the open containing folder feature quite helpful. But I don't want the folder to be "opened" by the windows explorer, instead I want to "explore" the folder -- you know, get the nice little frame showing me all the other folders on the left hand side. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,
Rohit
When invoking ShellExecute(), use the explore verb instead of the open verb: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762153%28VS.85%29.aspx.
Edit: If you don't mean programmatically, open Windows Explorer, go to Tools -> Folder Options, select the File Types tab, locate the Folder entry in the list (not File Folder!), click Advanced, and set "explore" as default instead of "open".
There really isn't much difference anymore between 'explore' and 'open' if you're talking about a folder. They both open the same window, just with different options active. When you 'open' the folder, you're only one click away (on my system at least) from seeing the folder tree as well- just click the "Folders" button in the toolbar.
