Howto get the Windows default context in search results?

[SiFreZi]

Hi,

when I mark two files in the search results there is no windows context menu on right click.
It's some different XYPlorer menu. How can I get the default windows context menu instead?

(I'd like to compare two files from the search results with winmerge via right click, or commit some files or folders to SVN with the context menu...)

I guess you've selected two files from different directories in the search pane?

I'm afraid I don't know how to invoke the standard shell menu in this case...

Why, I can see this system ctx menu after "show 64-bit ctx menu".
See, the selected files are from different locations.

If I do the same for two files from 2 different directories in the search result, I don't get the Windows context menu (but XY's one), even if I select the "Show 64-bit" entry...

Right. ::fresh does the same. Must be some setting/tweak in my ini.

Edit: Found it.

Code: Select all

General\AllowMultiLocShellMenu=1.

edit2:wrong location

@Don, Why isn't this tweak enabled by default?

@SiFreZi:
Copy and paste the following code into XYplorer's addressbar and press ENTER. XY will save settings, fix your issue, and restart!

Code: Select all

::savesettings;setkey 1,'AllowMultiLocShellMenu','General';exit 'nr';

Right. In retrospect, it's often buggy.

Thanks for your replies.

I found the option in the ini and changed setting to 1.
So far it seems to work correctly.

That was the only nag that I found in XYPlorer so far and now its gone

Right. But remember this:
