Help removing item from file context menu

(Thread split from Customizing Tab Context Menu)


Friends, I was testing some functions and ended up creating a function in the context menu and now I can't find where to delete the function. I went to settings » context menu and I didn't find this function (print).

That doesn't look like a tab context menu.

You might have edited an item under Settings > File Types instead:

I've already gone to that menu and I couldn't find it, I remember that I did that, but how do I find it?

You need to identify when (meaning on which type of files/folders) it appears.
Ex: if only on .rar file look for .rar, if on all files but not folders, look for "All Files", if everywhere, look on "All files and folders", ...
EDIT: Can also be on File Type Groups (e.g. Archives for instance).

I'll activate the function and send you prints, one minute

If you are totally lost, search the files in

/dopusdata\FileTypes

for your keyword.

When you activate the function and open a tab in dual view...


How do you trigger the context menu?
Right clicking that .docx file?
Does it appear only on .docx files or also on:

  • .pptx, .xlsx, ...
  • Other types such as .jpg

Only docx : look for docx in the System File Types section (you can use the search bar at the bottom for docx
Also pptx, xlsx, ... : try the Documents file type group
Other files : look for all files and maybe all files and folders

it appears when I right click on files (all types), folders do not.

Ok, so double click "All Files" and go to the context menu tab.

Are you talking about this menu?

No.
Go to Settings/File Types.
This will open the dialog shown in lxp's post above.
There double click "All files", it will open this dialog:

Then go to the "Context menu" tab.

Excuse my ignorance, but where do I search for this?

in a lister, type /dopusdata\FileTypes
/dopusdata is a predefined alias for Opus configuration folder, and FileTypes is a subfolder where all your "per file type" configurations are stored (in different files).

I found it, thank you very much

Let me take this opportunity to ask, can I use Opus to share files in general with WhatsApp?

Drag and drop works.
But if you want to do this from a button or context menu, this would require WhatsApp to provide some kind of API (maybe a command line utility). I've never looked for this.
A quick search (Google search) shows some attempts to build such an API from users (on GitHub), but nothing official.

It seems you'd need some setup ... not sure it will be much easier than drag and drop ...

Thanks

Can I use this native Windows 11 share (print) function in the Opus context menu as well?

I don't think so. I think Microsoft made it so it only appears when the context menu is invoked from File Explorer.
