Contextual menu doesn't include all System items

[djomphe]

When I right-click on files/folders, many of the items I would see in Explorer are not part of XYplorer's contextual menu.

If there's nothing XYplorer can do to fix this, I would expect, at the very least, to have on the right-click menu, as the first choice, an option to open a view on this file/folder in Explorer. Such an option is available on folders (open), but not on files, which obliges me to find the file's containing folder before I can get it opened in Explorer.

Is there anything I'm missing, or anything I could do to fix this workflow issue? Thank you

Welcome,

First things first, what items are missing?

Have you read this: http://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=ctx64 ?

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

Two possible things to look at for this somewhat common query:
Are you using a 64bit OS? http://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=ctx64
Alternatively, look at http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6043

And two other threads to look at: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6029
http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5824

A search using "context menu" may find others but hopefully those will help you get started.

UPD: I see that our other very helpful poster, zer0, already replied with one item while I was typing but my other links may prove useful as well.

Thank you. While waiting to (probably) buy the 64 bit version, I'll probably peruse the

Code: Select all

CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=1

option.

Sorry that my search prior to posting this question yielded no results : contextual. :/

Yes, sometimes the best terms to use for searching here may not be obvious...I've collected a nbr of them in my browser pull-down over time and also having read XY forums for years, have some ideas on what words are used most often.

Glad that we were able to help!

That said, a simple google search would have yielded what I was searching for in the first 10 results:

Code: Select all

site:www.xyplorer.com contextual menu

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=c ... nu&qscrl=1

I'm increasingly learning that I should always use google over site-specific search engines. I think I've just found a very nice Chrome extension to allow just that :

The one problem is that a lot of information and particularly its context, is contained in the forums, which aren't indexed by Google. That's where searching skills like j_c_hallgren's come in: the forum search functionality isn't up to Google's, unfortunately.
