Right-Click on Path column should open Context menu for the parent folder and not for the search result 'file/folder'

Post by iamMG »

Hi, I want to request a simple enough feature. Right-clicking on a 'file/folder' in the search results opens the context menu like what it would be in Windows Explorer. This is correct. This should also apply to the parent folder entry in the 'Path' column, so that instead of again showing the context menu for the search result 'file/folder', context menu for parent shows up and operations may be performed on the parent folder.
I faced this issue while using Beyond Compare when trying to compare two parent folders.
If this is not enforced, there should at least be an option in the 'Results' settings to accomplish this behavior. I am sure a lot of people could benefit from this.
Please consider. Thanks.

Showing the context menu of the parent folder under a 'Parent' menu item is in development.
Currently only common verbs are supported.

Showing the full context menu of the parent folder is on my TODO list.

I will consider an option to show the parent folder context menu when right-clicking in the path column.

Thank you for your suggestion.
