RE: [Boa Constr] Windows SendTo

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

I tried your suggestion and it works great on the first file when boa is not
already running. But then if you try it on a second file it load a
completely new instance of boa, rather than opening up in the existing boa
application. Anyone know a way around this?

I can't get it going either. I think the problem is the limited way
that SendTo works. Seems it can only handle executables.

Another alternative is to define an action associated with .py files;

On a folder choose View->Options->File Types or
Tools->Folder Options->File Types

Select Python File in the list (if you have win32all installed)
otherwise a add a new type with extension .py

Now add an action to the type called 'Edit in Boa'
and as application add e.g.
c:\python20\python.exe c:\python20\tools\boa\boa.py

Now you'll have it as an option if you right click on .py files.
