Jan 21, 2023 Whilst recently creating my first custom view as a b4xlib file, I got a bit bored with renaming zip files to b4xlib and vice versa every time I realised I'd forgotton to make a change that I'd intended So I created the attached File Extension Swap app. jShell is used to rename the extension of a file based on a predetermined alternative. It uses a map saved in File.DirData("FileExtensionSwap") to swap a file's extension for another one (e.g .zip to .b4xlib). On first running the app it creates the first SwapMap.txt file as a saved map with just the two entries: B4X: #Sat Jan 21 18:35:59 GMT 2023 b4xlib=zip zip=b4xlib More entries can be added manually to the SwapMap.txt file to enable more extension 'swaps'. If you package the app, then copy a shortcut to the launch exe into your SendTo folder (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\). Then you can right-click on any file and select FileExtensionSwap from the SentTo menu: Attachments FileExtensionSwap.zip FileExtensionSwap.zip 1.3 KB · Views: 459 Click to expand...
