Is it possible to run an exe or script when clicking Chrome's right click context menu item "Save Image As" ?

[kcvinu]

Hi there,

I made a script to rename the default file of chrome's "Save As" window. default file name is "unnamed". And chrome will automatically replace that filename to "unnamed(1)" to "unnamed(99)". But after saving your 99th image, there is no automatic file naming. So i made a script for that. But i would like to run this script when i click on the "Save Image As" context menu item in chrome. Is it possible ? If so, then how. Thanks in advance.

Why dont you make it already executed, sitting in the tray and listening for the event?

You should really look into how create your own context menu entry.

Hi topten,

As far as i know, if i start this script with windows, i need to write an infinite while loop and state a condition. If the condition is true, my function will work. But for that, i need to waste my processor power for all time by using an infinite loop. Am i right ?

If you check other processes which exist on your computer- You will be surprised that hundreds of them exist on the computers of users and 90% of them are listenning to something. This should'nt affect the processor power much.

Hi JohnOne,

Yes.. i need to learn how to create my context menu entry in explorer and a web browser. Can you suggest some good examples ?

Hi topten,

So you mean adding one script with an infinite while loop won't be a problem ?. Then it's ok. I thought that doing such is a bad idea.

I would suggest to use IE.au3 library it is more flexible than chrome for learning. With that (IE) you can navigate onto webpage, read the contents of HTML and then parse the images on the website
