AllowMultiLocShellMenu
WinRAR extension:
Works in DO and xp2 in the sense that all selected files from different folders end up in the archive but without path information. Still, not bad. XYplorer on the other hand, only gets the first file processed by WinRAR; the following files (in a different folder from the first file) produce the error message "The system cannot find the file specified."
Windows menu item: Properties:
Not available in DO; works correctly in xy2; works partly in XY: correct number of files but zero folders (should be 3) plus only the size of the directly right-clicked file is shown.
Windows menu item: Cut/Copy/Paste:
Handled by internal routines rather than Windows by all three.
Send To > EmEditor:
XY only correctly sends the first file's path, unlike DO and xy2.
Based on the above, it *should* be possible to feed both Windows's Properties tab as well as shell extensions the correct paths. By way of a caveat, I've only tested 64-bit apps on Windows 7 x64. I'll try to repeat these tests on XP x86 later tonight.
