Is there any plan to support the Windows 11 new context menu?

Post by Digidea »

It seems that 1.5.0 still does not support the new context menu of Windows 11 (I mean, right-click on any folder in the system File Explorer to call out Everything, not the context menu IN the Everything), will this be supported in the future?

I think he's looking at something different?
not the context menu IN the Everything

My screen shows is the context menu of Windows 11 file explorer.
Thats what the poster asked for.
It works here also for folders as can be seen.

You may need to enable the folder context menu:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Show Search Everything folder context menu item.
  • Click OK.
Is the Search Everything context menu item still missing?

If the poster did not disable the new context menu style in Windows 11 as I did
the Everything entry may be found under the "Show more options” entry.

Sorry guys, I should attach a picture. I'm talking about the new version of the system File Explorer context menu, that is, no need to click "Show more options". The new menu seems to use a new API [1], there are some discussions on the 7-Zip forum, this man implemented the new menu on a branch of 7-Zip [2], which may be as some reference.

I have put on my TODO list to add IExplorerCommand support.

Thanks for the suggestion and links.
