Support for new Windows 11 context menu #2367

Open dodmi opened 3 years ago

dodmi commented 3 years ago

Versions

ConEmu build: 210905 x64 OS version: Windows 11 22000.168 x64 Used shell version (Far Manager, git-bash, cmd, powershell, cygwin, whatever): Doesn't matter

Problem description

Windows 11 introduces a new explorer context menu. Incompatible entries are only reachable after a second click (which shows the old menu).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Register explorer task in ConEmu settings
  2. Right click on a folder in Explorer

Actual results

The new Explorer context menu opens, it doesn't contain the "ConEmu here" entry

Expected results

ConEmu context menu entries should be visible after the first click in the new context menu

From the description, in the blog or documentation, it's not clear what developers should change to support the new Win11 menus.

Thank you for the quick response. I don't have more useful information. None of my favorite tools supports this at the moment. "Windows Terminal" already appears in the new context menu, but it comes with Windows 11 and is a Windows Store App as far as I know - so probably not helpful for you.

This requires investigations or clarifications from Microsoft. Previously it was recommended to use a static menu (registry) whenever possible. Now it looks like the new menu requires a dedicated dll to be registered. This makes a solution less portable.

Well, lets see, what the future brings. Windows 11 will officially be released next month. And I guess, this is a common problem, which has to be solved by many people. Actually I've added quite a few static entries to various file types myself manually.
