Opus disappears when editing context menu

Hello

Not sure if this has been talked, but here it is.

Now when I tried to do for example a context addition to a file type, for example PDF, when I clicks on OK the program close without any warnings.

This is annoying, I need to change a context menu entry and now I can’t.

Any help?

Does it happen when adding things to the context menu for other file types, e.g. .txt, or just the .pdf type?

Does it only happen when trying to add a particular command or type of command?

For example PDF Editor program have changed to a new version and name changed too.

When I tried to set the new name and click OK, program close.

I've done this before with previous version 9, no prob.

If I try to set another type of file, the same occur. I like some dll have a conflict or something similar, but program close.

However I can manage files without a single problem even with my own configuration and using "Details" or "Power" or any other.

It's most strange that it happens when cancelling the dialog, since cancelling it essentially just closes the window without making any registry or configuration changes.

Do you have any tools installed which change the way windows behave or are arranged, or which modify normal mouse/keyboard behaviour or things like that?

Does the same crash happen if you double-click and then cancel things on other tabs of the filetype editor (e.g. Actions, Events, Drop Menu)?

Nope

I don't have any tool installed for that.

This does not happens anywhere except when I tried to create/edit/change the context menu.

No matter what I do, click on the X to close, the ok key, the cancel key, the system close everything of the Opus system.

I have to restart opus each time.

No matter what I do, I can’t add context menu to OPUS 10

I uninstall 10 and reinstall 9, even with version 9, I can’t successfully add context menu.

However I boot the computer on Safe Mode and was able to add context menu, but when I boot normally those entries weren’t there.

Weird No?

My guess is that a tool or component is causing the problem, one which is loaded normally but not loaded when in safe-mode.

Since Opus 9 is also having the problem, and was working in the past, it has to be something else that has changed on the system since things were working.

Tracking down what it is may require some trial and error, though. I would try uninstalling anything you don't need/use anymore, in case it is related, and then try using ShellExView to disable any non-Microsoft shell extensions (then reboot; you can enable them again later if it doesn't help) in case that helps.

Is there a way to add those entries directly to the registry or to the opus database file if any?

Yes, type /dopusdata into Opus to go to your configuration folder, then go into the FileTypes folder below there.

If there's already a file for the filetype in question then it may be fairly straightforward to edit it, but if not it could be quite difficult unless you're familiar with the way the filetype registry data is arranged.
