It's meant to be run from within the RIGHT-CLICK-CONTEXT-MENU.\n\nThis is an old project of mine from around 2018-2019. My educational goal was to create a dialog-only application.\n\nDuring this process I wanted to learn more about WinAPI subclasses, resources \u0026 manifest files. \n\n![alt text](https://github.com/dotBlueShoes/NewFile/blob/master/extras/media1.png?raw=true)\n\n\u003e *Weirdly I use this app almost everyday to create files on the fly.*\n\n---\n\nI run this application from within RIGHT-CLICK-CONTEXT-MENU property I've created years ago.\n\nEventually i will be placing a tutorial or an app that does exactly that here but for now I simply recomend searching and editing it by yourself. \n\nIt basically involves creating a few properties in the Windows registry.\n\n---\n\nI recommend the use of **arrow-keys** and **enter-key** *(when done)* when in dialog popup.\n\nWriting in `Extension Name` field is not necessary. For Example if you want to create a file named `.gitignore` you'll type all that in `File Name` property\n\n---\n\n### Initialize CMAKE from CMD\n\n`.quail/cmake_refresh.bat '[PROJECT_DIR]' '[VCVARSALL_DIR]'`\n\n### Build Profile from CMD\n\n`.quail/build.bat '[PROJECT_DIR]' '[VCVARSALL_DIR]' 'x64-win-debug'`\n\n`.quail/build.bat '[PROJECT_DIR]' '[VCVARSALL_DIR]' 'x64-win-release'`\n\n### Run from CMD\n\n`.quail/exe_with_res.ps1 '[PROJECT_DIR]\\build\\x64-win-debug\\project\\' 'NewFile'`\n\n`.quail/exe_with_res.ps1 '[PROJECT_DIR]\\build\\x64-win-release\\project\\' 'NewFile'`\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdotblueshoes%2Fnewfile","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdotblueshoes%2Fnewfile","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdotblueshoes%2Fnewfile/lists"}
