Post by _pA89 »

When Path Length Exceeds 258 Context menus Fails? (Strangely at 259 Menu Isn't Appearing) - Is this behavior Intended ?

That's a Windows limitation. You will see the same issue in File Explorer.

Thank You for the Reply and Insight,

Extending the Logic, Can a small entry for XYPlorer be added into context menu and add Required XYPlorer Functions to It (Just as Folder Size 9 Shows it - Or is this already Implemented)

These functions do not belong in the context menu of a specific file.

Context Menu of Program can be Improved (sor is this already done ?)

1. Restore Back Missing items in Windows Context Menu (When Path Length Exceeds-Mitigate Windows Limitation)
2. Any Functionality for Specific File in Question USER SETTABLE Like - {MetaData,Properties,Command Prompt,...}
3. Generic User Functions of XYPlorer like -{Recent Locations,Hot-list,Quick Search...} - USER SETTABLE

Provision for User Customizable Context Menu - Just Like Horizontal bar in XYPlorer
To pick out functions by - Description and Small Icon in Context Menu (in-addition to Only Icon and Tooltip in Horizontal Bar)
