Creating AutoHotKey shortcut to open powershell in specific folder in file explorer and excute certain code
1
I want to create an AutoHotKey script which will open powershell console (in the same folder opened in file explorer window) and execute the following code:
$nrRef = [ref] 0
Get-ChildItem -Filter *.jpg | Rename-Item -Newname {
'{0}_{1:d3}.jpg' -f (Split-Path -Leaf $_.DirectoryName), ++$nrRef.Value}
then close powershell console window.
Note: Shortcut to start AHK script: Ctrl + Shift + LeftMouseButton being pressed in the specific folder in explorer window.

Alternatively, you could call the script using a Context Menu handler so that you can right click on the folder and select something like "Rename JPG files". This saves running your AHK file in the background all the time.
