    Attempting to open any images directly to a commandline-based...


    Full Title: Attempting to open any images directly to a commandline-based software with parameters set.

    Right now, I finally found a viable alternative to the long lost tool named Image Overlay Utility that meets my needs which goes by the name Frameless (made by Skwires). If I drag a image into the Frameless.exe, the image opens, but there needs to be a parameter set to force it on top of every other screen. What I would like to do is to have easier access to opening any files without the need to drag a image or open command prompt while retaining the parameters to force it always on screen.

    One idea is to do a batch file, and then somehow open the images with a batch file by right-clicking, and open with .bat file. But, I'm not exactly sure what to do from here. All I got is a idea.

    ----

    EDIT: I solved the problem by making a batch file, and make a shortcut to provide a icon, and dragging the shortcut the sendto folder.

    The batch file content:
    Code:
    start D:\Programs\Frameless\FramelessAlphaTrans.exe "%~1" aot=yes
    It is solved.

    Congratulations @Reptorian, few realise that you can add your own custom 'SendTo' items. FYI, it would also work if you put the .bat file itself in your AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo folder.
