XYplorer Beta Club

Hi there, Is it normal practice that when I select more than 15 items, the number of available context menu entries is reduced? For example, if I select more than 15 items then the context menu entries for "Play with VLC media player" or "Add to VLC media payer's playlist" are no longer available. Cheers.

There is no such limit within XY.

Thanks Don, If there is no such limit can you give me any idea what might cause this?

15 items selected:


16 items selected:

Perhaps because the focused/current item was a flv in the first instance but mp4 in the second?

I vaguely recall seeing something similar to this before, but I cannot remember where.

This. Try right-clicking on the same file each time and see if the context menu changes. It should not.

That's exactly what it is. So sorry guys I don't know why I thought this was specific to XYplorer. I thought I had checked it in Windows Explorer.
