[Suggestion] Blank project on Windows context menu

[Attus]

this would be nice =)



I've created this using windows registry but its looks like its erased as soon as I open MMF

ps: "novo" means "new" xD

It works for me, did you use a program to add it or did you edit it manually? I tried it manually and it stays there.

[Attus]

I did it manually...the file created is 0kb, so it only opens mmf and nothing happens, not even a blank project is created

how did you do it?

[Jacob]

Oh... yeah the way I did it it just opens up MMF2. I misunderstood you. I don't understand what you mean about it gets deleted as soon as mmf is opened...

[Attus]

when I open MMF the values on Windows registry disappear

[Jacob]

The menu option is still there for me...

[Attus]

how did you do it?

Since a blank MFA file is 0 bytes in size, it will have no frames, no name, no settings, etc. Therefore it can't exist. This method works on my computer:

1. Open MMF2.
2. Create a blank document, and save it to C:\WINDOWS\ShellNew\New MMF2 Document.mfa
3. Close MMF2 and open Registry Editor.
4. Create a key called ShellNew in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mfa
5. In that key create a string value called FileName.
6. Set its value to the file path to your application (in step 2).

You may need to restart Explorer to see the new entry.

It maybe a good idea to make the file read only so you don't overwrite it if you press save... assuming it works how I think your solution works.

No. When you press the entry on the New File Menu, a copy is sent to the folder you are in.
