Title: Suggestion: Configurable "actions" when right clicking on a menu item?
Post by: raldo on February 07, 2007, 05:10:17 pm

Would something like the following be possible to implement:

Say you right click an item in the right pane, for example a movie or an audio album. Say you then could choose menu items with configurable actions. For example:

Name: Lookup movie with Google
Action: WEB
arguments: http://www.google.com/search?en&q=name]

Name: Lookup Music Album with Google
Action: WEB
arguments: http://www.google.com/search?en&q=artist] + [album]

-------------
Of course, in the spirit of MC, WEB could in the expressions be replaced by external applications ++.

I'm thinking that new "actions" then maybe could be exchanged through the discussion groups or maybe the wiki.
