Explorer Right Click Menu (Additional Filters)

Hi Simon,

Would it be possible to enable customization of the Right Click menu for text pipe pro so that you can add your own filters to the list for quick execution.

This could be something like a INI file with 2 Variables like Display Name, Full Path to Filter file, and maybe another Boolean Variable Option to state whether to open TextPipe with the filter, or else just run the filter without user interaction.

I know you can right click and select your own filter, but it would be nice if you could have a few regularly used filters already in the list which don't need further user input when you click on them.

2 extra commands that I would like to have there right now would be:
  • Add utf-8 BOM
    Remove utf-8 BOM
Excellent tool by the way. Indispensable in my arsenal.

Cheers,
Anthony.

No worries :-)

You might want to the the Unicode restriction filters to make the application of the filter more foolproof.
