Does this only work in double commander? And only with a single folder?

The approach I chose for my [Mp3tag on Linux](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/mp3tag-on-linux-via-wine/71343) guide uses a separate .desktop file for the context menu as well as a helper bash script that allows calling Mp3tag with single or multiple files/folders, mimicking the behavior on Windows.  
[This](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/mp3tag-on-linux-via-wine/71343#p-242566-context-menu-13) is the section in question.  
Does your approach offer advantages over the one I chose?

The additional upside of using a helper script for me is that it allows easy integration of Mp3tag into other programs.

For example I've integrated it into [yazi](https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi) yesterday.  
 ![yazi mp3tag](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/f/3/f3bd1c59ef4513686c554f19c735615f68ee9564.gif)  
In case there are other yazi users in here (unlikely, which is why I didn't include it in the guide):  
in `yazi.toml` you can add mp3tag as an `[opener]`:

```auto
tag = [
	{ run = "/mnt/mp3tag/mp3tag-context-menu.sh %s", desc = "Tag", for = "unix", orphan = true },
]

```

and then assign it to folders and audio files in the `[open]` section:

```auto
rules = [
	# Folder
	{ url = "*/", use = ["edit", "open", "reveal", "tag", "convert"] },
...
	# Media
	{ mime = "{audio,video}/*", use = ["play", "reveal", "tag"] },

```
