Run any external application with custom arguments from the browser toolbar or context menu to send links, text and more

The "External Application Launcher" extension enables you to define a toolbar button or several context menu items to execute external executables right from your browser. It extracts arguments from the current web page and passes them as command-line arguments of your choice to the external application.

Use Cases:
- You can send the current page to another browser
- You can send selected text to a text editor
- You can open your external email client and send selected text to it
- You send download links to an external download manager!
- You can directly send image URLs to a photo editor of your choice
- You can browse links with specified patterns with an external application

Notes:
1. A minimal native client is required for this extension to execute native commands. The native client uses the official NodeJS executable.
2. The native client is only available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

更新されたらツールバーの右クリックにブラウザが表示されなくなりました。もとに戻してほしいです。
After the update, the browser no longer appears on the toolbar right click. I would like it to be restored.

Great extension!
The most flexible and protean of similar extensions, It is a user-friendly extension with a high degree of freedom that allows we to open any browser.

・Flexible and protean

・We can freely customize the extension icon.

・The lightest.

It's a shame I haven't noticed the existence of this flexible extension until now.

But why does right-clicking on the toolbar icon and then clicking on the title I named opens an empty page for "Undifined"?

Make more copies of the app and name them "External Application Button 1", "External Application Button 2" etc up to 10 or 20. someone made 10 extension separators, added between pinned extensions that way. I would like to open a link with vivaldi (or any other not listed browser) while also have a extension button for paint.net for quick editing

Awesome extension! Works in Linux well with Gnome image viewer, and for videos, VLC and MPV. I was even able to get it to work with links needing passwords. Thanks so very much for making this!

Group menu items is bad idea.
