Rules

Create custom open with commands by selecting Rules... from settings. By checking Automatically apply rules based on condition matching files/folders based on the type and regular expression field will execute the corresponding command when opened.

Examples:

Name	Type	Regular Expression	Command
Open terminal here...	Any		`cmd /K "cd %path%"`
Total Commander (Left)	Any		`totalcmd /O /L=%path%`
Total Commander (Right)	Any		`totalcmd /O /R=%path%`
MSPaint	File	`.\\PixelArt\\.(bmp\|BMP)`	`mspaint %file%`

Leaving the regular expression field empty will never match.
