Windows shell integration of avisynth scripts?

[EvilDreams]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this.

Windows allows programs to add their own custom shell commands to the right click menu.

I cannot seem to find a way to do what I need to do.

Basically I want to right click a video file and have an option like "Open with my script" (Just as an example) and have that file passed to an avisynth script that I wrote, which will then use the chosen right-clicked file as the source (For example (DirectShowSource("MyFile.mp4") , be it as %s, %1 or whatever it needs to pass the filename in to the script) of said avisynth file, thus letting me open it in whatever the default program for an avisynth script may be at the time (Virtualdub in this case) so I can edit it after having avisynth do its thing.

This would rid me of the tedium of having to go into the avisynth script every time and change the name of the file that I want to edit.

Is this beyond what the average user can do with Windows?

Even if this is not possible with what I outlined, is there something close that an expert can suggest?

I look forward to hearing your wisdom.

Thanks

I use file manager free commander, where you can specify favourite tools and can specify how a tool/script will be executed after graphical selection of a file
so no command shell interaction needed (never tried it if I select multiple files)

foobar2000 gives somewhat similar *batch* transaltion of files , specifying a personal script

Thanks for the suggestion...I will have a look at those two just now and see if they can do what I need them to do.

If it is possible to pass a filename into a batch by dropping another file onto it in Explorer...it must be possible to do the same with an avisynth script...

I finally got it working with a batch file/"send to" in the right click menu. Thanks for the suggestions.
