Please add native Windows 11 contextual menu feature.

ShaoZhu-1 commented 2 years ago

[The following is the software translation, if there is any improper, please prevail in the following Chinese, thank you.]When I first installed this software on Windows 11 Home (21H2) Chinese version, the icon of this software appeared in the right-click menu bar; however, when I restarted the computer the right-click did not appear the software icon. Strangely enough, the software works perfectly on Windows 7 sp1, whether restarted or not. -------【Original article】 当我一开始把这款软件装到Windows11家庭(21H2)中文版上时,右键菜单栏出现这款软件的图标;但是,当我重启电脑后右键没有出现软件图标。奇怪的是,无论重启与否,这款软件在Windows7 sp1上完美运行。

I don't have context menu in Win11.

Tichau commented 7 months ago

I tried a bit to do it, but for now I can find a simple way to do it since the library I depend on (https://github.com/dwmkerr/sharpshell) does not support Windows 11 and Microsoft seems to want to not support managed assemblies on Windows 11.

Maybe a better way to do it is to rewrite the explorer extension in native language. Any help would be nice on that topic since I will not have a lot of time to do it.

Not sure what changed but version 1.2.3 does properly show/work in windows 11 context, 2.0.2 however does not. Schermafbeelding 2024-06-06 190757 (screen attached with 1.2.3 installed to show it does work in that case)

Sadly the only way for now seems to be to revert to 1.2.3 until it gets a fix

Small update: Just tested 2.0.2 on a clean windows 11 install - 23H2 to be specific and somehow it appears in the context menu again Might also be interesting for you to know and get a mention on @Tichau

Not sure what you mean with 'same version' , i just downloaded the latest release (2.0.2) on my clean install machine and it popped right into the context menu. afbeelding afbeelding
