What I am trying to do is adding two context menus, "Copy to Grayscale" and "List all images".
I pass a parameter "List"/"Copy" to distinguish them.
string menuCommand = string.Format(""{0}"{1}" "%L" CopyGrayscaleImage", " List", Application.ExecutablePath);
But this is wrong.
What the menuCommand line should look like and how to handle it in the Main method ?
