In Windows you can right-click a file to show a context-menu and choose from various options.
There can be customized options for specific file types if you add registry keys to both HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Originally, Gumby wrote such shell extension but it refuses to work on some systems. Either Windows 10 needs HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as well or other registry settings of other programs are interfering.
Setup for oni. file type
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.oni] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.oni\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.oni\shell\OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI] @="Command name to be displayed in context menu" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.oni\shell\OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI\command] @="\"C:\\PATH\\Batch_for_OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI.exe\" \"%1\""
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.oni] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.oni\shell] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.oni\shell\OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI] @="Command name to be displayed in context menu" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.oni\shell\OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI\command] @="\"C:\\PATH\\Batch_for_OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI.exe\" \"%1\""
Setup for .xml file type
Since .xml is a widly used file extension there seem to be additional settings had override the default lookups for better management.
The .xml key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes has a Default value (redirect) with "xmlfile".
If you remove the xmlfile value then Classes\xmlfile will be looked up nonetheless. (Doublecheck on other machines.)
So, next reg path to modify is this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xmlfile\shell\OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xmlfile\shell\OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI\command] @="\"C:\\PATH\\Batch_for_OniSplit_or_OniSplitGUI.exe\" \"%1\""
Advanced conversions
If another program handles OniSplit and automatically feeds it with the right arguments you would only need one explorer context menu option such as:
add to OniSplit helper list and process
Some conversions require more than one input file. In that case can collect the other files first:
add to OniSplit helper list
Additional, useful options might be:
repeat last OniSplit helper conversion clear OniSplit helper list
Install and uninstall
A less tech-sevvy modder shouldn't need to deal with registry settings.
AEI could be used to distribute an OniSplitHelper tool that manages the registry.
Perhaps "Vago" and "Simple Onisplit GUI" could be adapted to do that.
