I'm trying to make a cascading menu for four file commands: **Select all | Invert | Select None | Select Wildcard**. Looking for tutorials on cascading context menus I ran into the [cascading folders contents](https://resource.dopus.com/t/adding-cascading-folder-content-to-your-context-menus/5500) but that techique doesn't seem to work for file commands. Is there another way to accomplish this? ---

Create them where? Cascading in which sense? Just a sub-menu or something more? ---

For the right-click context menu for drives, folders and files, I am trying to create a cascading menu item like the illustration, below. ![Context](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/e/7e0fb6d2dd87c6e827545d79132a14ff2f19ef53.gif) ---

You can edit those menus via Settings \> File Types. For moving/removing items added by other software, see: [Tip: Organise and Speed-Up Context Menus](https://resource.dopus.com/t/tip-organise-and-speed-up-context-menus/1204) But the right-click menu for drives/folders/files are not where things which like "Select All" which work on the current folder really belong. Those menus should contain items which work on the thing which was right-clicked. The background menu for the folder is the proper place for things like "Select All", and that can be edited via Settings \> Customize Toolbars \> Context Menus. ---

@Leo, thank you for the [Tip: Organise and Speed-Up Context Menus](https://resource.dopus.com/t/tip-organise-and-speed-up-context-menus/1204). That helped clean up a lot of clutter. On the cascading menu advice, I'm still confused. The file/folder commands I added to DO work fine, they are just not cascaded. When I drilled down to the dialog you recommended, I don't see any mention of cascading menu. See illustration. ![My PC](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/1/91de36eeef66128eff3a101c2a12bc5e1ce01b4d.gif) ---

Lister Context is the menu that appears when you right-click the file display background. You can add sub-menus to it by right-clicking it while it is being edited, then use the Insert New \> New Menu option.
