Summarize this feature
Users can create multiple instances of OpenInTerminal-Lite/OpenInEditor-Lite by drag the lite app into Finder Toolbar several times and set different default terminal/editor for each instance.
Why should this feature be included?
OpenInTerminal-Lite (OpenInEditor-Lite) makes users open terminal (file) faster and easier. But only one default termial (editor) is allowed for OpenInTerminal-Lite (OpenInEditor-Lite). The proposed feature make it much easier if users want to use different terminals (editors) in many different scenarios.
Additional information
For example, a user has multiple PDF reader installed, for example, Preview, PDF Expert, and Skim. Then the user can set Preview as the system default PDF reader and put two OpenInEditor-Lite icon to Finder Toolbar, one for using PDF Expert to open PDF file and the other for using Skim to open PDF file.
OpenInTerminal-Lite (OpenInEditor-Lite) now supports custom application as the default. Users may also want to have multiple instances of OpenInEditor-Lite for different types of files, e.g., jpg/png, pdf, doc, and etc.
Simply duplicate OpenInEditor-Lite.app in /Applications doesn't solve the problem.
As shown in the following figure, above example can be done in the main OpenInTerminal app which supports custom menu options. But the user needs to click twice to open file in selected PDF reader. It would be much better if only one click is needed ( as in OpenInEditor-Lite).
