XYplorer Beta Club

Is it me or XY? I was looking thru Wiki and doing a few minor tweaks to make some Tree Style options hopefully a bit more clear (IMVHO)...and noticed the comments about being able to switch Boxed Branch and Highlighted via right-click...I don't see either of these in my context menu ...so thus this posting.

hmm.. I'd say it's you I mean they're here: right-click on an item on the Tree, menu Mark (above Move/Copy/Backup To), it's there!

Note that as stated, they are Tree features so the Mark menu is only available from the Tree's ctxt menus of items, not from the List. I don't think there's any other options that needs to be turned on or anything....

BTW thanks for your work on the wiki

I'm on 5.10.26 on W2K and when I right-click on any folder in the tree, I don't see any Mark or Move/Copy/Backup either! It's the standard Explorer context menu as far as I can tell...

I hope my wiki edits make sense to the rest of the gang! I've had quite a few years of experience writing technical documentation as part of my previous career as a mainframe systems analyst/programmer...we had to explain our stuff to totally clueless users!

I see them in Windows XP.
Turning off "Tools | Configuration | Advanced - Custom items in shell context menu" removed them, but I assume that you have that option turned on.

Well... I used to have that option on! But somewhere it got disabled...and looking thru XY Help, I didn't spot that option...and it had been SO long since I've used the right-click (given that on my laptop with touchpad, I try to avoid right-clicks), that I obviously didn't remember there was a config setting related to it...so I'll give myself a , ok? Make it a double !!

However, now that I've realized that I actually DO have a context menu key on this keyboard (thanks to the keyboard thread), which is SO misplaced that I had totally forgotten it was there, I can use it instead of right-click.

Also, given that I missed it, I've just updated a couple of items in the wiki to hopefully make this config setting more visible and relate it to usage.

It is in the help file under "Custom items in shell context menu". But thanks for wiki-ing it anyway!

I didn't say that it wasn't in XY's Help...just that I didn't find/see it because it's one of those things that if one doesn't know more exactly what it's named/called, you might never find it...

And jacky's post implies he didn't recall the config option either...

Yes, I'm so used to all thoose great XY features and they feel so natural to me now that I admit, I totally forgot one could turn them off!
