Script operate on file

Summary:

After long pressing a file, there should be an "Apply script" in the popup menu, which allow us to run our favorite scripts using this file as an argument.

Script operate on file

Many scripts will need some filename as argument, to complete some action using the content of this file. For example, "lpr mydocument.pdf" will print this pdf file.

This kind of scripts can be applied on many files, and the filename argument can not be predetermined, thus not be able to fill in the "Arguments" section of the "favorite scripts" gui.

I will be great if SM can add some argument syntax like "%f" or "%p", etc.(%f will be replaced by filename, %p can be replaced by path). And also allow running the scripts on the selected or long pressing files.

It is a good suggestion, but instead of it it has been developed the new "smc pick" command.
It is more versatile and can be called more than once in each script
