Quickstart with jFinder - action

Introduction

" Ok, now I have my list of files within jFinder, what can I do we that ? " you are wondering.
You can't do anything... yet.

As you can see my right clicking the list, the action menu is deseperatly empty (the center of the red square on the picture). Then let's enter some actions.

Go to the "Cration of a new Action" dialog box.

Click the "Action control" menu.

Select the "Add an action to the PopupMenuAction". The following dialog box appears:

Select the executable of a file

Click the browse button and this dialog box appears

Go and search for the executable you want to run, i.e. /usr/bin/xmms or C:\Program files\Winamp\winamp.exe

Press "OK" and you should go back to the "Cration of a new Action" dialog box, with the program text field filled.

If you wish, you can add command line options after the line. i.e. to enqueue in xmms, [...]/xmms -e, and to enqueue in winamp, [...]\winamp.exe /add

Enter a name for this action and validate

Fill the name text field

Then press "OK"

Verify the item was added in the menu

Do right click on the file list, and ensure the item was added on the PopupMenu

Use the action

Select some files with the usual CTRL+click or SHIFT+click combination, then right click the list.

Select the action, and you should now see your files in XMMS or winamp.

That's it, you' ve finished the guide. Congratulation
