Putting my money were my mouth is...

Attached is version of the Open With plugin that I think does what Vortex want. The visible changes are in the configuration dialog.

In the "Format" column, I have added the type "TEMPLATE". When this is selected, the text entered in the "Args" column is treated as a template. When you select a book and Open With the template item, the text in the args column is evaluated as a template. This is then passed to the application being opened as the parameters. The file name of a book format is not used.

So for Vortex, you should create an Open With item with:

- Title: Everything Search
- Format: TEMPLATE
- Application: C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe
- Args: -search {authors} {title}

With that, it should pass the authors and the title of the book as the search string. I don't use Everything Search, so I don't know the exact parameters.

This is a quick and dirty change. There is no validation or error checking. If it is close to what is needed, and works for others, I will finish it up.
