What is it I'm doing wrong, if context menu entries, defined in the file types editing section, do not show up?
The "New Action" entry has been added by me some minutes ago, the other two were there, but do not show for some reason.
Try using different names to Run and Edit.
Ok, I tried. o) It did not help. If I create a new entry and call it "Run" it shows up though.
I noticed, there are wrong(?) window captions when editing for the edit-window (these have been used before, at least "Execute me" e.g.).
These captions still show after completly closing/reopening the file types dialog and editors. Maybe that is related to my problem?
FWIW, these older context menu entries just seem to be ignored.
Old entry:
New entry:
Do you have Preferences / Miscellaneous / Windows Integration / Hide Windows items on file context menus turned on?
Thank you, I think I sorted this out!
I thought the context menu entrys were always shown by DO, but that's not true, they are used in windows explorer as well if I do not explicitly choose "Run an opus function" and because I have windows context menu entrys "disabled" these older items do not show (they were created to be usable in explorer and DO).
This is confusing sometimes, but after recalling other possible DO configurations involved, things clear up! o))
YES I did of course! o))
I forgot, as a side note:
When editing these menu entries you have to deal with up to 4 different layouts of editors. For fresh new entries, you have the additional choice to switch between internal DO functions and entries for running commands supported in DO and explorer. After closing the editor for the file type and reopen it, the type of context menu entries is more fixed, the editor shows one dropdown less to choose from. While playing with these I really got confused as to why every menu entry has a different looking editor window. Sometimes additional dropdown at the top and sometimes not, this for both types of entries (internal and global) and you got 4 of them and me going "huh?". o)
I think a simple dialog when creating a new entry, just asking "internal or external?" could keep the layout of the editor windows untouched, to avoid confusion.
Well, maybe in v20 I know! o))
Thanks, thanks, thanks!
