Getting the buffer or document name from the file tab

[Andy]

I want to run the following code from the File Tab shortcut menu:

Code: [Select]

    shell('explorer "' strip_filename(p_buf_name, 'N') '"', "A");
but p_buf_name is "not allowed on this object". What do I have to do? Set the focus back into the buffer first?? That seems weird.

Thanks

I'd propose to rip and adopt an existing 'File Tab' context menu command from <SE inst dir>\macros\bufftabs.e (e.g. buff_menu_clipboard)
Setting the focus back to the edit window doesn't really help b/c it's p_buf_name property probably differs.
Note that all the p_<something> things are properties of a window object which must either be active to get access to it's props or you've to specify it's window id like this 'wid.p_<something>'.

That was great! Thanks!
