MediaInfo plugin shows on context menu in Windows Explorer but not in DO

One of the plugins I use is MediaInfo (https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo). When I install this, it appears in the context menu in Windows Explorer when I right-click on an image or video file, but doesn't appear when I do the same right-click in DOpus. This is DOpus 13.12 and MediaInfo 24.12 on Windows 11 24H2. Any suggestions on getting the plugin to appear in DOpus right-click.

The plug-in seems a bit flaky. I saw it once, and never again. You can force its appearance by adding

ContextMenu LABEL="MediaInfo"

as a context menu item, e.g.

I'm having the same problem. This is a bug of Directory Opus that's affecting many apps, not just MediaInfo. Please see Windows 11 integration need an option for keeping the old context menu · Issue #994 · MediaArea/MediaInfo · GitHub and relevant discussion. I hope this can be fixed soon.

Which apps?

It seems to show up for me:

Hi, I saw your comment on GitHub. I'm observing the same problem as mentioned in that GitHub issue. Directory Opus only shows the MediaInfo context menu for folders, not files.

This happens at least for .mkv, .mp4, .wav, and .mp3 files. I also find it working for .jpg and .png files. So it depends on the file type.

We found a reason it's not appearing for all types and a fix for that is coming.

Yes, same here. I was initially only looking at video files, and not getting the MediaInfo context menu. I've since found that I do see it for image (jpg, tif, png) files.

Please try 13.12.3 and let us know if this resolves the issue or if you still have problems with the MediaInfo context menus.

Above version brings back mediainfo for me...

Yes, 13.21.3 fixes the problem for me also.
