Engauge Digitizer - Adding To Windows Explorer Context Menu
Introduction
In Windows Explorer a simple right-click on an image file will bring up
a context menu that lists some software applications. Clicking on one
of those applications starts that application, and loads the image
file.
Engauge Digitizer can be inserted into that context menu, where it
is easily available for processing image file formats such as BMP,
GIF, JPEG, PNG and XPM.
