contextmenuforwindows11's Issues

Feature Request: Add an entry directly in the right-click context menu and not in the "Open With" sub-menu

It may be a good idea to allow the user to directly add an entry to the right-click context menu instead of adding the new entry into the "Open With" (or whatever its renamed to) sub-menu.

Extensions are case sensitive

if i type .iso it won't work.
if i type .ISO it does work.

如何创建单页而不是多页标签？

不需要Custom Menu多选页，我想直接右键能打开vscode而不是还需选择，这样还不如直接”展示更多选项“

how can I delete it?

FolderMatch Problem

It seems OneDrive component removal causes this issue. I edit my OS with NTLite, After my tests i found out it was about OneDrive removal. Take a look at what happens when u don't have onedrive in your system. that depency looks unneeded for your software....

I will also contact to NTLite's dev for potential bug on onedrive removal. But this error started happening in v1.6.0 without any OS changes. I didn't have onedrive before too.

duplicate of #24

Please add support for entries which aren't in the group 'Open With' and maybe even support for multiple groups.

Edit: I just found a duplicate.

[Enhancement] Add hotkey Ctrl+S to save current item

Currently, it is slightly inconvenient to have to click the top-right save button each time you make a change.
Using a function to quickly save, using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S would make life a lot easier. I hope this will be considered for future versions.

Creating Submenus?

I wanted to recreate the 7z menu but I couldn't figure out how to do submenus. How would I create 7z/CRC as menu?

[Proposal] Handle multiple files/folders

It seems to handle only one file now even if multiple files is selected.
Is this proposal technically possible?
I want to use as the alternative of SendTo folder.

add only match the folder

能不能加一个只检测目录的方式，不检测文件。
还有就是如果传路径给wsl.exe会bug打不开目录，应该是无法转换成sub linux路径。

Ability to import commands from legacy menu

I remember some "system tweak" apps can access what other program put in to the right click menu.

Ideally, we can pick what we want to use, and copy said logic to the new right click menu. Some adjustments may be needed to be done manually but it would be easier to do everything from scratch.

Multple files - only show entry if any of the files are matching

Do not show options when no files match the extensions

1. audio specific things should not be listed for text files.
2. only execute selected command for files that are matched with extension

example

configuration

Not working, samples don't work either

vscode is installed as "user" and available in %PATH% as code.exe

Expected:
Show Entry with "open in vscode" in context menu, after right-clicking any file (tested with .txt, .jpg, ...)

Actual:
No menu shown

---

Repro steps:

Using sample from this repo

5.open in vscode.json

{"title":"open in vscode","exe":"code","param":"\"{path}\""}

Cache is disabled

有没有可能实现old context menu里面的send to功能

Support for Windows 11 22H2 (build 22621)

In Windows 11 22H2 (build 22621) the custom menu is not showing until I open the main tool once. For the rest of the session the menu appears, but is gone once again after a restart.

Set working directory

Open with++ sets the working directory of the invoked process to the directory of the selected file or selected folder.

https://github.com/stax76/OpenWithPlusPlus/blob/master/OpenWithPPShellExtension/Main.cpp#L603

建议修改案例中的send to wsa

param建议改为adb push -p \"{path}\" \"/sdcard/Download/{name}\" | adb shell \"am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE -d 'file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/{name}'\"
上传图片后发送广播避免上传后图库中找不到图片（已测试中文和带空格情况均无问题）

或者文件内容如下
{"title":"send to wsa","exe":"PowerShell","param":"if ((adb connect 127.0.0.1:58526) -like \\\"*connected*\\\") { adb push -p \\\"{path}\\\" \\\"/sdcard/Download/{name}\\\" | adb shell \\\"am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE -d 'file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/{name}'\\\"}else{msg \\\"wsa未启动\\\"}","icon":""}

[Suggestion] icon color

In light mode the outer rectangle on the context icon is white, it would be better to be light the rest of the win11 icons, i.e. rbg 126, 126, 126

Dark mode is perfect

Support regex filter

suggestion

ability to to add nex>context menu items for example notepad adds itself like this

inside C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_10.2103.7.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml there is this line that adds .txt to that menu

         <uap:FileType uap4:ShellNewFileName="Assets\NewTextDocument.txt" uap4:ShellNewDisplayName="ms-resource:Resources/ShellNewDisplayName_Txt">.txt</uap:FileType>

and maybe a remove option for existing ones? your app can scan appxmanifest files for line starting with shellnewfilename thingy

Menu order changes with cache

I have named my JSON files according to the following pattern:

1_tool.json
2_best_tool.json
3_another_tool.json

etc. (11 entries in total)

Without the cache, the menu shows the entries as expected in the intended order (alphabetical).

However, as soon as I create the cache, the order changes (7, 4, 11, 10, 8, 1, 5, 2, 3, 6 and 9). When I deactivate the cache, the order is alphabetical again. What could be the reason for this?

I can't use %ProgramFiles% or %SystemRoot% or any other environment variable in Exe field.

How to set correct order in my menu? (Move under or upper)

可否把支持把旧版菜单中的选项也添加进来

[Feature] Allow menu to be shown on the drives

Hi,

I would like to have a custom menu action that is invoked for a drive. Can you please add settings for that?

Feature Request: Customize right-click on directory background

The app is really useful but it only allows to add an entry to right-click menu for files and folder. It can be a good idea to also allow the user to customize the background right-click context menu, i.e., the context menu which opens when a user right-clicks a the empty background of an already opened folder. For example, the context menu which you get when you right-click on the desktop.

Help with translate (suggestion)

I have a Chinese friend who is not good at computers, but he wants to make his Windows easier to use, so he asks me if there is a way to add programs to the Windows 11 new context menu
I recommended this tool to him, and then he said he didn't understand English and asked me to translate😂 (i'm a programmer and he thinks programmers can do anything lol)
So you know👍

Multibyte characters entered in Title are garbled.

(Translate with translation software)
Multibyte characters entered in Title are garbled.
The multibyte characters entered in the Custum Menu Title will be displayed correctly.

In the version 1.5.0.0 introduced in "窓の杜", it looks like the multibyte characters specified in Title are displayed.

more information about this project

Hi, Can you provide more information about this project?
Is this project incomplete?
The project does not compile properly and after a lot of effort I was able to compile it.
The C# project does nothing but save the json file, I expected the item to be added to the context menu.
also After running the packaged project, nothing happened and no items were added to the menu.😕
Exactly what should we do?!

Environment Variables are not expanded

If you, for example, pass the following to powershell.exe
-File "%LocalAppdata%\Myscript.ps1" in Param, die %LocalAppData% does not get expanded.
Also it seems the %PATH% variable is not used. You have to hardcode the path to powershell.exe to get it working.

It doesn't work for me

I created my entry but the menu does not change, so I tried with the templates present in menuSample but nothing has changed.

Windows 11 Pro 22621.1

可以设置成根据右击文件的后缀名显示不同的菜单吗

多个后缀名可以用分隔符分割，例如只有在右击apk文件时候才显示安装或者发送到wsa

[Feature request] Custom context menu entries outside of the "Open With" group

As I said in the title, I'd love to see the custom context menu entries created with this app outside of the "Open With" group. Would it be possible to add that feature? Thanks!

Match Folder not working on 22000.348

Match Folder not working on 22000.348, menu not visible on folders and desktop... using latest version of win11 and custommenuforwindows11

MS Store install error

Exlude For selected extensions

This is .lnk ext. There are no commands for it in my preset. So I need exlude for selected extensions options to exlude .lnk files...

Or for situations like this, menu should be not visible. When matchfolder is not selected and extension list doesn't include .lnk.

When pressed button. it just prompts the file path like an error.

关于添加多个菜单选项

想把解压缩和在软件中打开分开存放
另外希望支持菜单选项排序

Please Add more feature to app

The UI of the app is difficult to understand so please make it easier.
Also add more menus

Refresh Menus Folder

I think it should be "Open Menus Folder" Instead of "Refresh"

also may i ask for a feature can u add support for editing "Create New" menu? because right now
.txt and .bmp cannot be removed from new and old context menu
also .ps1 cannot be added

link as path parameter

Hello,

first thank you for this app.

I found following problem: if the {path} parameter is a link it is used "as is" and not followed,

Example:
On the desktop I have a link to D:\ but instead resolving this path the parameter "C:\Users\Test\Desktop\Mylink.lnk" is passed.
