What do you think?:
A plugin being a place on toolbar, where you can drop files (via drag&drop) to perform different actions, like run a batch resize on images or run proper player depending on file type. Sometimes it is most convenient to simply drag a file from file manager to perform some action on file.
How it looks like
Just like a normal icon on toolbar. I think adding optionally some recessed frame around icon would help to differentiate it from other items.
Features
- Support for dragging multiple files with confgurable handling of dragged items, like creating temporary file list with file names to feed some command line program if needed.
- Support for configuring different actions depending on factors such as:
file type
file path&name
file size
number of files
etc.
- Possiblity to talk with other programs via DDE (fe. for adding files to filelist of already playing player)
