I'm able to code a R-click functionality for non-integral Windows apps like "Bulk Rename Utility", "PlayTime", "HandBrake", "Media Player Classic", etc --
where the target file(s) open(s) in the target app --
but so far I haven't hit upon the correct coding to make that work with Calibre 3.37 --
Calibre app does open, but doesn't contain the selected title,
much less attempting a bulk opening using "Send To" such as in MPC-HC,
which will load multiple media files in a Playlist & begin playing 1 x 1.
I'm motivated to post here at this moment - but embarrassingly I don't
have a copy of the code I tried in the past -- it would have included the standard "%1" or some similar argument.
I'd greatly appreciate any help to solve this potential time-saver --
my work-around is to open Calibre then drag-drop bulk titles into it,
then of course Calibre does a phenomenal job converting to .pdf.
Thanks again

This is pretty basic Windows stuff, which applies to any program.
To add something to a file type's
File Explorer->Open With list right click a file of that type and follow the dialogue:
- click More apps
- scroll to bottom of list
- click Look for another app in this PC
- browse to the calibre install folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Calibre2)
- there are three executables you might want in Open With: calibre.exe will add the file as a new book to current library, ebook-edit.exe is the calibre EPUB/AZW3 book editor, and e-book-view.exe is the calibre viewer.
To add a program to
File Explorer->Send To - create a Windows Shortcut to the program on the desktop
- open Run program (Winkey+R)
- type shell:sendto press enter
- a folder wil open,
- move the shortcut into the folder
FWIW - I have ebook-viewer.exe and ebook-editor.exe in the EPUB Open With list, and calibre.exe in Send To.
