Right-click in empty pane / explorer menu?

Post by jreynolds »

Hello,

I use TortoiseSVN extensively. Normally in an explorer window I can right-click on an empty part of the pane and receive a menu that allows me to do functions for explorer and tortoisesvn things. However, in XYplorer I have to click on a folder to receive that same functionality.

Screen here of XYplorer: http://drop.io/hidden/4bhysmnf2ikl3e/as ... %253D%253D

Screen here of regular explorer: http://drop.io/hidden/4bhysmnf2ikl3e/as ... %253D%253D

I apologize if I'm missing a simple setting somewhere. I just can't seem to find a way to make this work.

Thank you,

&J

Quickly spotted: your screenshot links are one and the same -- for XYplorer, there's no link for Explorer ;)

There's a tweak:

Code: Select all

 
        [Settings]
        CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=0
      You can currently choose between the following actions:
        0 = Popup the Edit menu (factory default)
        1 = Popup the Shell menu for the current folder
        2 = Popup the Favorite Folders menu (as in Tree right-click)
        (any other value) = Do nothing
So you search this key in XYplorer.ini and set it to 1.
CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=1

Restart XYplorer without saving else the app might overwrite your edited key.
