Mediainfo Not Displayed in the Context Menu for Overlong Filenames

In Windows Explorer, when I right-click on either an MP4 or MKV file, the Mediainfo is displayed in the context menu, regardless if the filename is overlong or not. However, in XYplorer, if the filename is overlong, Mediainfo is no longer displayed in the context menu. Could you please, if possible, fix this?

What about other shell extensions? Are they displayed?

No. Media Player Classic is also not displayed in the context menu.

Strange.
1) I assume your system is LongPathAware? You can find this info in the 2nd block of the Help | Various Information return.
2) What about the 64-bit context menu?

Nothing is also displayed with the 64-bit context menu. LongPathAware: No. But I already told you that in Windows Explorer it works fine. Everything is displayed as it should in the Windows Explorer context menu.

Which Windows version? Which XYplorer version? How long is that path?

Can you show a screenshot of that shell context menu of an overlong file in Explorer?

No, in Explorer, with the Mediainfo item.

Interesting. This should not be possible. Cannot do anything about it.
In the next beta you can try this tweak. It does not help here, but maybe your system is different:

For some reason, XYplorer automatically displays the native context menu when I right-click on the overlong filenames, even though the native context menu option is disabled.

It does this because, according to the Micrisoft documentation, the shell cannot handle overlong paths anyway.
And that's exactly what ContextMenuOverlong=1 will prevent from happening.

Can you please tell me how do I implement this tweak?
