How can I add [some external application] to the Tools menu on SciTE?
In your properties file, you’ll need to add some lines: command.name.number.filepattern (e.g.: command.name.1.$(file.patterns.web)=HTML Tidy) This defines the Text that will appear on the Tools Menu. command.number.filepattern (e.g.: command.1.$(file.patterns.web)=tidy -i -wrap 0 -m $(FilePath) ) This is the actual command that SciTE executes. You should provide the appropriate paths, options and parameters as you would from a command line. See SciTEDoc.html for more information on parameters and how to make SciTE prompt a Parameters Dialog. command.is.filter.number.filepattern (e.g.: command.is.filter.1.$(file.patterns.web)=1) The external application may have modified your file, so setting this to true makes SciTE reload the file after execution of the command. command.subsystem.number.filepattern (e.g.: command.subsystem.1.$(file.patterns.web)=2) This is for Windows and defines the subsystem through which the program is called. See SciTEDoc.html for more information on this.
