Tags/Comments in context menu

Hello all,

If I have Full Row Select set in the List style view, the right click menu for Tags and Comments does not come up. (It _is_ set in the configuration file.) Instead, I get the usual XY context menu when I click in either of those columns.

As an alternative for Tags, I put a button on the toolbar. However, I can't find anything similar for Comments and I'm not advanced enough yet to do scripting. I am too lazy to click on Favorites, then Comment... LOL

I really would prefer to right click for tags and comments, but can't give up full row select. Can I have both?

As my kids used to say, 'if you give me this, I will be your best friend for life'. <g>

This was discussed previously here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3616

As it stands that's the way it is, and the only way to restore the Tags/Comments menu is to position those columns to the left of the Name column (but then clicking in them doesn't select the row).

for comments, you can use this script. :)

Thanks so much for the replies.

TheQwerty: appreciate the pointer to the other discussion. I had been searching on 'context menu', so completely missed that topic. That was just the info I need.

Muroph, thank you for the script. I still don't have any idea how to use a script, but maybe this will motivate me to learn it!

there are many ways to call a script from xyplorer.
i like to use a "run script" or "load script file" udc.
you can read how to do these 2 in th wiki.
