Copy Name context menu item can't be disabled

Post by letmeindude »

"Options-General-Context Menu-Copy Name-Do not show this item" doesn't work.

Neither do "Show this item when the Shift key is down".


Also "Explore in Everything" item (right click on folder name, not path), enabled by default, is missing from this Options dialog.

Cheers

When right-clicking in any column, a Copy <property> context menu item will be shown.
For example, right-clicking the size of a file will show the Copy Size entry.
So right-clicking the name of a file will show the Copy Name entry.

The Do not show this item for Name will affect the entry in the other columns:
Right-clicking a size will not show the Copy Name entry when this setting is enabled.

The Explore in Everything contextmenu entry will only be shown if the Folders sidebar is enabled ( menu:View => Folders )

1355 will always show the Copy Name context menu item.
Previous versions would use your Tools -> Options -> Context menu -> Copy Name setting.

I'll add a option to show/hide the Copy <property> context menu item in the next alpha update.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Full context menu customization is still on my TODO list.

Just an observation:
The contextmenu entries defined under Options > Context Menu do not extend to the "Parents" context menu (right-click the Path column > parent folder )

I have put on my TODO list to extend context menu options into the parents context menu.

Thank you for the suggestion.

For Name and Path columns, right click is showing Copy Name/Path.
For Size, Type and Date modified, right click is showing Copy Size/Type/Date to Clipboard.
I think that to Clipboard should be removed because it's not consistent and it's making right click menu too wide.

I have already removed the "to Clipboard" bit for the next alpha update ;)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Everything 1.5.0.1356a removes the "to clipboard" text in context menu items.

Everything 1.5.0.1356a also adds a Copy Column Value context menu item.

To hide the Copy Column Value context menu item:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Context Menu tab on the left.
  • Select Copy Column Value.
  • Check Do not show this item (or Show this item when the Shift key is down)
  • Click OK.
