Tags/Comments in context menu

[rosehatten]

Hello all,

If I have Full Row Select set in the List style view, the right click menu for Tags and Comments does not come up. (It _is_ set in the configuration file.) Instead, I get the usual XY context menu when I click in either of those columns.

As an alternative for Tags, I put a button on the toolbar. However, I can't find anything similar for Comments and I'm not advanced enough yet to do scripting. I am too lazy to click on Favorites, then Comment... LOL

I really would prefer to right click for tags and comments, but can't give up full row select. Can I have both?

As my kids used to say, 'if you give me this, I will be your best friend for life'. <g>

This was discussed previously here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3616

As it stands that's the way it is, and the only way to restore the Tags/Comments menu is to position those columns to the left of the Name column (but then clicking in them doesn't select the row).

for comments, you can use this script.

Thanks so much for the replies.

TheQwerty: appreciate the pointer to the other discussion. I had been searching on 'context menu', so completely missed that topic. That was just the info I need.

Muroph, thank you for the script. I still don't have any idea how to use a script, but maybe this will motivate me to learn it!

Muroph, thank you for the script. I still don't have any idea how to use a script, but maybe this will motivate me to learn it!

there are many ways to call a script from xyplorer.
i like to use a "run script" or "load script file" udc.
you can read how to do these 2 in th wiki.
