I'd like to NOT use Custom Drag'n'Drop menu (for the hassle of accessing WinRAR menu which is currently hidden at the bottom of such long menu under "Shell Context Menu" when dragging .rar/.zip files from list to tree, and I have to do that VERY often).
-disabling Custom Drag'n'Drop menu (which is possible via Config > Advanced) has a huge negative impact on actions to be undone (they are not properly logged for undo if custom dNd is disabled);
-disabling Custom Drag'n'Drop menu seems to impact also on NewItems, which now and then are not shown (after ENABLING custom dNd, my problem with this was mysteriously solved).
---
If I am allowed to control which items will be displayed on the Custom Drag'n'Drop menu, I can reduce it to a minimum so I can have easier access to the "Shell Context Menu..." item, which delivers me the desired WinRAR actions menu. If I could control Items positions in the menu, I can PRESERVE other items (Move/Copy Here..., Create...) and set "Shell Context Menu..." in the middle of the menu, where I can more easily access it.
Hope this helps...
Thank you, Don!

OK, I understand the part with "Shell Context Menu...", but there are no plans to make this configurable.

...DISABLING "custom dNd menu" causes so much damage (which were/are so hard to track) that then my suggestion is to not allow it at all, at least until something can be made regarding those problems. Two cents out of the hat, anyway.

Rubbish. Please control your thinking/language. This is a public place, others might actually read what you are writing.

This is a warning.
