PowerToys File Locksmith & context menu

[MBaas]

There is an option to Shift-Rightclick a file in explorer and the context menu then includes the option "Unlock with File Locksmith". Is there a chance to somehow make that possible for XY's contextmenu or set up a CFA to do this?

There is no info about your XY version
but in the x64 version, the context menu entry is shown.

I'm on 64, too.
Did you press Shift to get it? (I tried both)

Here's XY's contextmenu vs. explorer's:

No, I didn't press any key while opening the context menu.

I can only speculate. Perhaps some shell extensions are hard-tied to File Explorer. Got any other 3rd party file manager to check?

No problem here to see the Locksmith entry in the context menu of XY.
