I know I can open a browse-folder dialog box from within ME.
I'm looking to do all of my file hierarchy browsing in windows explorer and perform ME operations on the selected folder -- without having to re-navigate from an ME dialog box. How do I get the file/folder path of the current selection in explorer?
(The closest I've found is modifying the context menu to allow right-clicking a given file and running a macro on that file. Really just want to select the file/folder and hit the activation key.)
Thanks, Mark
Would like to process selected file/folder from within explorer window

Thanks all.
Yeah, I knew about the context menu (right click, scroll to proper item in menu, unclick on it). I was looking for an explorer selection followed by a single key press.
Didn't find a solution with ME. When I last left this topic, I was walking down the path of issuing a ^C (from within ME) to copy filepath the clipboard but didn't find an effective way to transfer the clipboard contents to a usable filepath within ME. Probably an easy ME extension to write but in the end, it was easier to transfer files to a Mac and use it's automation functionality.
Still would like to have this capability within ME -- seem like such a natural function to have.
