I find the ChkBugReport to be very interesting: http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/tools/analyse-your-bugreports-with-our-open-source-tool/
so I would like to use it on my Windows7 but in a simple way.
In order to use the tool that is in jar, I need to type the following in the command prompt:
java -jar ChkBugReport_ver.jar dumplog.txt
where the dumplog.txt is the log I want to analyze by the tool.
The thing is that it is quite tiresome to run cmd and then type "java -jar... blah blah.." everytime I want to use it so I would like to link it to the mouse right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.
i.e., browse through to the file I want to analyze in Windows Explorer, then right-clicking on it would provide a menu like "run ChkBugReport.." then it does the "java -jar ChkBugReport_ver.jar clicked-file.txt" and generates the output.
Is there a way to do this?
Follow these steps:
Open regedit (as administrator).
Locate key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell
. In case you want to add the context menu for a specific extension only, use e.g. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xml\shell
for xml
. If the shell
key doesn't exist, create it (right-click on the parent key and select New -> Key
).
Right-click on the shell
key, and select New -> Key
. Enter the name of the command displayed in the context menu, e.g. Check Bug Report
.
Right-click on the Check Bug Report
key and select New -> Key
. Enter text command
(in lowercase).
Click on the command
key and then double-click on the (Default) key in the right pane to edit the string value. Enter the command to be executed. Placeholder for the argument is %1
. For ChkBugReport_ver.jar
, you can use
java -jar "C:\Path\To\ChkBugReport_ver.jar" "%1"
