Why has context menu changed in XYP 8.10??

[hulland]

In XYP 8.000, when right clicking on a rar or zip, the context menu for PowerArchiver gave me( customizable) options to unzip to, or unzip here. In XYP 8.1 that option will not appear?

Have I messed up my settings somewhere, as in Xplorer2 and Windows Explorer, the context menu still operates ?

I'd direct you to this similar thread for some possible ideas: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3791

Thanks for your help, but this is all about the differences between 32 and 64 bit--I am all 32 ( WinXPPRO SP3) and as I said -- last week in the 8.000 version all was fine. Today with 8.1 no context menu in PArchiver-same settings on PC, same version of PA--I will just go and re-install PA to see if this fixes it--will revrt-thanks again for quick answer.

You can download 8.00 from here http://www.xyplorer.com/freezer.php and see if it really behaves different from 8.10.

Have version 8 still on home pc, used it fine last night.

Here at office have 8.1, so although different pc's I think I already checked that in version 8 the context menu is still OK?

Update;- Uninstalled Power Archiver, uninstall XYP-ran JV16 to clean out everything. Re-installed PA then re-installed XYP 8.1--running Xplorer2 and Windows Explorer the context menu is displayed fine with all options.

In XYPlorer 8.1 it is NOT there, nor are many of my "standard" context options. In my very 'umble opinion there must be a small bug in there, or in the compatibility, as XYP seems to have nuked about 8 entries in the context menu ?

Hi,
Is it a 64-bit OS?

[hulland]

If you read my post earlier ;- 64 bit--"I am all 32 ( WinXPPRO SP3)" so the 64 bit has no bearing on this at all.

If you tell me that 8.00 and 8.10 behave differently in that regard (context menu) on the same computer and with the same settings, you put me before a mystery because I did not change anything here between 8.00 and 8.10.

Can anybody confirm a change in the context menu?

[hulland]

On my machines it looks that way, and I can't think of anything else that has changed, so yes, let's see if it is just me or not.. (Thanks for rapid response too)

i tested fresh installs of both versions side-by-side.
no difference.
then i upgraded 8.00 to 8.10.
still no difference...

i don't have many shell extensions enabled, tho.

[hulland]

OK then I guess I must have screwed something up somewhere...damn. ( IN Windows Explorer, Xplorer2, Commander etc., I have 35 items in context - right click-menu; in XYP 8.10, I have only a total of 15 items of which 7 appear to be "none XYP" ( or "external to XYP) ones.

I fully expected others to have same problem--SHXX---yet another reformat--another PC out of the window--moan,moan....

Just to be sure, you do not have "Default items only in shell context menu" on Configuration - Advanced ?

[hulland]

Well Jacky ( he said with a VERY red face!) yes I did--I don't recall even seeing that option, let alone ticking it! anyway lesson learned--I apologise to all for being mentally retarded ! Thanks for help(s).

Sometimes it's the most obvious that's the hardest to notice as you're convinced it couldn't be that simple! Even after 3+ yrs, there are some rarely used (for me) options in XY that I forget are there and which I may overlook when things don't work as I expect so don't feel THAT bad!
