Ok, I have questions about this new feature just added.

    + List: Now you can paste-file-into-file via the target file's shell 
      context menu. For example, copy some file to clipboard, then right- 
      click a ZIP-archive. You should see an item "Paste" in the context 
      menu if the associated archiver can handle this. Select this "Paste" 
      and the file in the clipboard will be added to the ZIP archive. Most 
      EXE files will support this as well. What happens on paste is 
      basically the same that would happen on a drop onto these files.

This "Paste" item comes from XY, but how does it determines whether or not it can be handled?
Because I never see any "Paste" item anywhere, and I know WinRAR handle drops on archive just fine. I tried on both ZIP and RAR, nothing.

Works on EXE though, but I suspect it might be a somewhat different situation.

Also,

Code: Select all

    * Catalog context menu: now the "Paste" command is disabled when the 
      current item is not a folder.

Shouldn't archives (when supported) and EXE files have it as well ?

No, the "Paste" item comes from the Shell. I let the Shell do the job. That's also the reason why this does not work in the Catalog: the catalog context menu is not from the Shell but by me.

If it does not work at your end, then your archiver is not configured or able to do it.

Me neither, but I'm learning.

BTW, the Paste item was always there. But before you got a message by XY saying "Paste into files is currently not supported." Now it is.
