Display shell's context menu when clicking below files in file list

[tkab]

I'd like to display the shell's context menu when clicking on the white space below all files in the file list view. Ideally in a way that does not lose XYplorer's own context menu, e.g., by using Ctrl-Right Mouse Button for the shell's menu.

Background: I'm using TortoiseSVN and want to be able to use SVN update on the folder without locating to the folder in the tree first.

There is this tweak:

Code: Select all

; Tweak: 0=Edit menu, 1=Folder's shell menu, 2=Favorites, 3=reserved, 4=Tabs, 5=FavFiles, 6=Script
CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=0

which would display the necessary entries for TortoiseSVN when set to 1. But afaik this can't be triggered
without losing it's current menu apart from setting it to 6 and trying to recreate exactly what you need...

Thanks, that helped a lot. Now I'm missing XYplorer's menu entries (a bit), but I missed TortoiseSVN-update more...

This doesn't work.

Great. So why don't you post a screenshot of what you actually see when invoking the click?

That's the edit menu...

Either set that .ini setting to 2 or configure it (correctly) in:
Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | Clicking on White | Right-click on white in file list => Pop up folder's context menu

Aha! That did it. Thank you!

Why don't I see the "New" submenu for creating new files within the shell context menu?

Because you've switched to "Pop up folder's context menu"? That doesn't contain the entry (neither does the Windows File Explorer when right clicking a folder...)
