XYplorer Beta Club

Hi - I'm a new user, and can't find a solution for this:

I would like "FileMenu Tools" to appear in the Quick Search results context menu, when all search items are selected.
Currently I get an 18 item context menu, which is significantly different from the "normal" context menu for all items selected in a folder (where FileMenu Tools appears).

Am I doing something wrong? Would there be a way to get the usual context menu to appear for all items selected in a Quick Search result.

Thanks

Try this tweak:
AllowMultiLocShellMenu=1

When giving this tip, it should be mentioned that the menu displayed by AllowMultiLocShellMenu is partially broken. The Windows support for a multi location shell context menu is traditionally a bloody mess.

Hey thanks! This seems to have worked perfectly!

Which Windows are you on?

Windows 11 Pro (updated my profile now!).

highend's suggestion seems to have worked perfectly. Thank you!

Should they have fixed it by now? It has not worked since Windows 95, I think.

Well done! It would save me and others a lot of time if everybody here did this.

highend's suggestion seems to have worked perfectly.

I don't think so

E.g. I find two .txt files in two different folders and execute FileMenu Tools - Calculate and Verify Checksum...
then only one file is listed in the dialog. Doing this in Windows Explorer leads to both files being present there...

The good thing is: It's possible to create a menu that invokes FileMenu Tools with the "correct" result of files.
Requires scripting and a bit of work. Currently not enough time...

Ah - you're right - maybe not.
I'm trying to use the Advanced Renamer part of FMT on a quick search of multiple folders. To rename all the files to the holding folder name. This doesn't work.
Shame - this is a deal breaker for me.

Thanks for all the help though.

Thanks highend.

My first foray into scripting!
I've placed you file in the ~AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Scripts folder.
I managed to get the script to work - albeit from the Scripting > Load Script File menu option. I have to do this every time tho' - quite cumbersome.
In your animation you use Run Script Again. This is greyed out for me.

I was just showing that it works, the thread I've linked describes ways to invoke it in a comfortable way...

E.g. via Menu - User - Manage Commands... And you can define a keyboard shortcut here to invoke the script as well...

Thanks Highend!

It all works now - so pleased! I have the script running off a custom toolbar button - so I'm down to just 6 clicks, which is perfect!! Amazing!
I'm so glad I stuck with it and had your excellent help.

Very much appreciated - thanks again.
