This project wires it into\nthe Explorer right-click menu so a conversion is one click away.\n\n**Target OS:** Windows 10 and Windows 11.\n\n## Features\n\n- Convert a single file, a multi-file selection, or a whole folder (recursive).\n- Three actions: save `.md` beside the source, copy Markdown to the clipboard,\n  or save \u0026 open.\n- One configurable direct entry plus an options submenu with all actions.\n- Per-user install — no admin rights required.\n- Checkbox GUI to pick which file types show the menu.\n- Bilingual (German / English), auto-selecting the Windows system language.\n- Toast notifications with a batch summary for multi-file runs.\n- Checks for Python 3.10+ and `markitdown`, offering to install them if missing.\n\n## Supported files\n\nPDF · Word (`.doc`, `.docx`) · Excel (`.xlsx`) · PowerPoint (`.pptx`) ·\nimages (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`) · HTML (`.html`, `.htm`) · `.csv` · `.json` ·\n`.xml` · `.txt` · EPUB\n\nAdd other extensions yourself in the configuration GUI.\n\n## Install\n\n1. Install PowerShell 7+ (`pwsh`) from https://aka.ms/powershell if you don't have it.\n2. Double-click **`install.cmd`**.\n\nThat's it — no admin rights needed. On first conversion the tool checks for\nPython 3.10+ and `markitdown`, and offers to install them if missing.\n\n## Use\n\nRight-click a file, several files, or a folder:\n\n- **In Markdown umwandeln / Convert to Markdown** — runs the default action.\n- **… (Optionen) / … (Options)** — choose: save `.md`, copy to clipboard, or save \u0026 open.\n\nOn Windows 11 the entries appear under **\"Show more options\"** (Shift+Right-click).\n\n## Configure\n\nOpen **\"MarkItDown Context Menu\"** from the Start menu to pick which file types\nshow the menu, set the direct-entry action, and choose the language\n(Auto / Deutsch / English).\n\n## Update\n\nDownload the latest release, unzip, and run **`install.cmd`** again — no need to\nuninstall first. The installer overwrites the program files and keeps your\n`settings.json` (file types, language, default action). The current version is\nshown under **Installed versions** in the settings window; **Check for updates**\ncompares it with the latest GitHub release and shows a download button when a\nnewer one exists.\n\nFor a fully clean update, uninstall first, then install.\n\n## Uninstall\n\nRun `uninstall.ps1`, or use the **Uninstall** button in the settings window.\n\n## Settings\n\n![Context menu](doc/settings.png)","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcorgan2222%2Fmarkitdown_context_menu","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcorgan2222%2Fmarkitdown_context_menu","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcorgan2222%2Fmarkitdown_context_menu/lists"}
