@basilgohar This is an example where we might consider writing our own interface instead of spending more time hacking at the current one to get the correct type of context menu based on selection. We could still keep using the same look and feel - but we might stop work on this version and do design for where we would want to go with the "new" version; and then build that using ember and/or datatables.
Cloud commander uses one menu for both multi-select and single select. When the menu displays, there is always one item selected that is considered the "current item" and this is given different styling in the original cloud commander.
This is confusing and there is no comparable complexity in the selection ux of finders in Windows, OS X, Gnome, etc. In all of those, you only have 1 selected file or many selected files.
Until we can cleanly support separate menus for multiple select and single select, however, we should re-add back multiple styles so we can distinguish which is the "current file".
