Can you specify location of "file type groups" context menus

Thanks for the replies guys.

It's been a week or four since ive done anything with this (had other things to do), so i'll just try and give a quick reply.

[quote]But you'd still be placing THAT command under some item categorized under the Opus FileType editor... which is the thing for which you're asking to control the order of. So specifically using a "command" like you're suggesting is chicken and egg-ish and wouldn't work. I think Opus "for the most part" generates it's context menu based on showing items from top to bottom that match the filetype clicked on from most to least specific. FileType specific stuff, followed by FileType Group stuff, followed by either the 'All files' or 'All folders' stuff, and lastly the 'All files and folders' stuff...

I think there's still reasons why people might want to be able to control that order... but at least in your specific example... isn't that more or less what you are in fact getting now (i.e. the Pictures FileType Group stuff listed above the Rename, Cut, Copy, Delete stuff...)?[/quote]

The reasoning for me wanting to have a little more control over file type group context menu's is two fold, 1) So my file type group items are always at the top of my right-click context menu, and 2) So I can integrate some control of file type context menu into my sidebar control, i'll explain a little...

  1. So my file type group items are always at the top of my right-click context menu

I would like my context menus to take the form of something like
{filetype group context menus}

All other Context Items > {Filetype CONTEXTMENU CONTEXTOPTIONS=windowsonly}

Specific Item 1
Specific Item 2
Specific Item 3
etc...

This is basically just so I have a little more control of the overall appearance of my context menus. As im sure everyone is more than aware, with the installation / removal of programs, and some annoying programs, you can quickly have a context menu which is quite simply 90% full of items you have no interest in / use very little, and make the menus look messy and much more confusing than they need to be. That's why I just move all the system context menus to the "All other Context Items > " sub-menu with the Filetype CONTEXTMENU CONTEXTOPTIONS=windowsonly command. With the above approach, I have complete control of how the context menus will look (apart from the "All other Context Items" sub-menu which is system-generated)

  1. So I can integrate some control of file type context menu into my sidebar control

I was experimenting with a sidebar context menu, and as part of this I would like to of had control of filetype group context menu items, to place them where I want in the sidebar. It is probably easier to explain by just linking to the video (excuse the cheesy music! :stuck_out_tongue: ) and the thread regarding it here on the forums.
