  Hello,
  
  is it possible to create some menu items to open a file with several programs?
  
  Similiar to the "open with..." functionality of windows.
  Sometimes I like to open an image with Fotoapp, sometimes with Photoshop etc.
  
  I use the default context menu from Dopus and there is no such entry.
  OK I could open the windows menu by pressing SHIFT, but i lkie to handle this with QAP if possible.
  
  Thanks for any hint.
  Cheers
  gieri

  You could define a favorite in QAP for each program you want to use, and also use the "{SEL_LOC}" placeholder in QAP.
  Put all those favorites in a sub-menu, define a hotkey for that sub-menu and you are good to go:
  
  1. Select the file in your file manager.
  
  2. Pop the sub-menu with the hotkey and choose your program.

  Note!
  You could also trigger that sub-menu (or even each favorite) from the right-click menu with QAPmessenger, but that involves fiddling with that right-click menu in Windows, not strictly speaking a QAP problem.

  joeNOR suggestion is good. And it has the advantage of working with any document (the one selected in your file manager).
  
  About the original request, QAP could offer a new "menu placeholder" in the document favorite's "Launch with this application" text field in the "Advanced Settings". For example:
  
  {> AppsMenuName}
  or {> SubMenuName > AppsMenuName }
  or even {>} to open the main menu
  
  When the document favorite would be selected, QAP would open the specified menu and open the document with the application selected in the apps menu.
  
  This is not an easy one but I think it would open interesting possibilities. Is there any support for this feature?
  
  (I'll move this thread to the "Suggestions" section")
