Everything's statusbar may show context menu from other applications

Post by therube »

(probably in 1.5alpha only?)
(might have been there before, but if so, it wasn't particularly apparent just "how much" the Everything statusbar might pick up?)

Just noting...

Everything's statusbar may show context menu data from other applications.


Like, IrfanView's, IrfanView Shell Extension.

When you (context-menu) IV's, 'IrfanView operations',
its' sub-menu items display in Everything's Status Bar
as you hover an item

irfanview_shell_extension adds/registers a shell extension
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\IrfanViewShellExt

similar with (some) other context-menu, Open With items, & possibly others

suppose this has always been there,
but with irfanview_shell_extension, it really made it stand out

Context menu item help has always been shown in the status bar.

Third party shell extensions can set this help.



Are you looking for an option to disable this help?

No.
"Just noting...".

I knew it was there, I just wasn't aware of how potentially extensive it could be (such as with the multitude of options available from say a single application, like IrfanView Shell Extension.
