Access to system context menu (mouse right-click menu) doesnt work

Post by aticus »

Hi!

Since version 1.01 I cant open te system context menu (with control + right-click mouse) when I have selected several files.

In that case, all files are deselected and only the file on which the mouse is positioned remains selected.

Finally the system context menu opens, but only applied on that single file.

Thanks

Thanks for your attention.

I have more information

If I control + right click on the last selected file, then it works fine: the system menu opens with all selected files.

Any other option deselects all other files that the mouse is not hovering over. Rare.

Oh, Yes,
it's same on my desk.
I allways made the Ctrl+Right-Click on the last selected file (it was so natural ^^)
I confirm, when I Ctrl+Right-Click on any other selected file; only this file stay selected.

FYI
I tested on an other machine with 1.0 64bits (Apr 28 2022) : The comportement is the same :(

Maybe when you click the mouse, the cursor was on the last selected file? If so, I also get the system menu. The problem is when it is on another selected file. I am on Windows 10

Thanks and great program!

Je confirme :
je ne me suis pas rendu compte du problème / ai cru ne pas le reproduire
en lisant le message de Aticus, tellement il est naturel de faire le clic droit sur le dernier fichier sélectionné...

mais si je "fais attention" à faire le Ctrl clic droit sur n'importe quel autre fichier sélectionné, je n'ai effectivement le menu contextuel Windows que pour le fichier cliqué.

ceci-dit, ce n'est peut-être pas le cas pour toutes les machines.


--------------
I confirm:
I did not realize the problem / thought I did not reproduce it
when I read Aticus' message, so natural is it to right-click on the last selected file...

but if I "pay attention" to do the Ctrl right click on any other selected file, I have indeed the Windows context menu only for the clicked file.

this being said, this may not be the case for all machines.
