This is has been refuctored from my last post.
I did some work on MediatorMenu (MM) yesterday. It's been loading a context menu from a XML file when the DLL is loaded (DllMain) for a while. Now, the menu gets filtered depending on what file/s you right-click on. Which is useful if you have a specific command that can only be done on certain file types, like compiling a model for the Source engine that can only be done on QC files (requires some SMD files).
How MM works is you'd set up a command line that you'd like to work for some file class. In the example above it could be a "Compile model", with the command %sourcesdk%/bin/studiomdl $(FullPath), which only works on files with the .qc extension. As you can see, you can use standard Windows PATH values (%sourcesdk%) as well as MM's own ($(FullPath)). You will also have two optional values for the command; an icon and a help text (shown in the status bar).
For those interested, you can take a look at the menu.cfg file below.
