Line 1: =Introduction= The following method allows custom context menu options, but involves a free utility called '''FileMenu Tools''' the is available for download at [~~http~~https://www.lopesoft.com/index.php/en~~/filemenutools~~/download/filemenu-tools ~~http~~https://www.lopesoft.com/index.php/en~~/filemenutools~~/download/filemenu-tools]. In the example below this is configured to run TUFLOW, however, this tool can also be configured for post-processing of TUFLOW output files.<.br> <u>'''Note''' A word of caution, be careful with the installation dialogues as this may try to install additional software.</u> === Configuring FileMenu Tools === To use this program to run TUFLOW from a right click window, follow the steps below:<br> # Download and install '''FileMenu Tools''' using the link provided above Line 18 ⟶ 19: [[File:FileMenu Tools Configure.png\|frame\|none\|File Menu Tool Configuration Page]] === Running TUFLOW === The FileMenu Tool should now be configured. To run TUFLOW navigate to a TUFLOW Control File (.tcf) and right click on the file. In the menu dialogue that appears, select ''FileMenu Tools >> Run TUFLOW''. This is shown in the image below.<br> [[File:FileMenu Tools Run TUFLOW.png\|frame\|none\|Running TUFLOW using FileMenu Tools]] =Other Filemenu Tools tasks= Another example of FileMenu Tools could be to convert between .flt and .asc grids or vice versa. To do this: # Enter a ''Description'' (e.g Convert format using asc_to_asc) # Under ''Element Types'', set ''Files'' to '''Yes''' # Under ''Element Types'', set ''Extensions'' to '''flt,asc''' (this is available to both .asc and .flt files) # Under ''Element Types'', set both ''Folders'' and ''Drives'' to '''No''' # Under ''Program Properties'' set the ''Program'' to the full path to the asc_to_asc utility. For my machine this is: "C:\TUFLOW\Utilities\w64\asc_to_asc_w64.exe" # Under ''Program Properties'' set the ''Arguments'' field to '''-conv %FILENAMES%''' # Select Apply and exit the configuration.<br> <br> Another example of FileMenu Tools could be to convert the maximum velocities from an .xmdf file to a .mif file. This would look like the configuration below:<br> [[File:FileMenuTools xmdf.JPG]] Use your imagination to create others!
