Integrated framework commands

When I get the urge to run a symfony command from an explorer window I have a few options...

Command prompt here
Well this is handy but you still have to type out your command. Fortunately I have PowerCmd which lets you save common commands and make them toolbar buttons.

Directory Opus
My favourite explorer replacement lets me type commands directly into the toolbar - and it *remembers* the history of commands. Nice.



XYplorer
Another good file manager - and a bit more lightweight than Directory Opus - has a great scripting engine. Check this out:

::if (confirm("propel-build-ALL?!")){
run 'php symfony propel-build-all',<curpath>
}

That's not bad. And you can make it a favourite (category) that will execute on the current activated folder. Again, nice.



PhpEd
Well this isn't exactly an explorer replacement, but seeing as though I never close my IDE it is technically a file manager ;) And as I posted here, you can add scripts to the right-click menu. The biggest drawback is that you can't put < characters in your scripts, which means you can't load sql files into mysql without requiring a seperate DOS batch file.
