TortoiseHg lister context menu items missing

Post by savagemessiah »

When I right click on the lister background in v9.7 with TortoiseHg 1.1.5 installed I don't see any of the context menu items that should be there. If I right click on a file or folder they show up. They show up properly in explorer and this is on Vista 32bit. I poked through the configuration to see if there was something related but I couldn't find anything. Default only items in shell context menu is off (obviously, since I could see them on folders) and icon overlays are on (and work fine).

Did I miss something or is this a bug?

The lister background context menu does not support shell items.

You can however manually edit the INI file like this (look for key CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite):

Code: Select all

CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=1
Save the INI, then start XYplorer.

This setting will popup the Shell menu for the current folder when you r-click the lister background.
