Send Folder to Lightroom
Author John Beardsworth has an interesting tip on adding a contextual menu item to send a Folder to Lightroom via a right click.
Here’s a handy little registry hack which adds a “Send Folder to Lightroom” choice to Windows Explorer’s right click menu. Either download and double click my registry file - read it first just to be sure - or copy this code into Notepad and save it as a file with an “reg” extension, then double click it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Lightroom]
@=”Send folder to Lightroom”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Lightroom\command]
@=”\”C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom\\Lightroom.exe\” \”%L\”"
The full article can be found on his blog.
Update: John pointed out a slight change required for the default installation, which is corrected above.
