Notepad++ Plugins

I have a new feature request and it is similar to NppExec's inputbox. It would be very nice to have a dialog box in NppExec which would display all the opened files in Npp in a nice dialog, where the users will be able to select multiple/single files and that would be used in the NppExec as an input for the script or a command.

I support a group of users and I want my users to use the opened file dialog box to select 2 files from the opened files and use that as my input and execute a command which runs a external merge tool. Currently, I am hardcoding the file to $(#1) and $(#2) and ask the user to rearrange the files in tab bar, this could be a nuisance if there is multiple lines of files in the tab bar, instead of that I thought a file dialog would be nice way to ask the user to select the files and that would return the file order # (ex: $(#5) and $(#20) ) to be used in NppExec.

Please do consider my feature request and I am hoping to see this in the near release.

Thanks Ash

I think this is not a feature for NppExec itself. You better take the sources of NppExecPluginMsgTester and implement such dialog there. Then NppExec's function can be called with selected file names as parameters.
