Paint3D (Windows app) not launching from context menu

I am 2 days of my evaluation of Dopus and loving it so far but found something strange which seems like a bug but it might something I am doing wrong.

Let me give a quick example: Right clicking on an image and then clicking Edit with Paint 3D from within Dopus does nothing while clicking on it from the "actual" desktop will actually launch the program with the photo selected as expected. This may have something to do with it being a Windows App and how it interacts with Dopus or maybe there is something I could do?.

It works OK here in 12.21.3 beta and Windows 10 1909.

Which versions of Opus and Windows are you testing with?

Thanks for your response, Leo!

I am also on 12.21.3 beta branch. Windows 10 2004 - Experience pack 120.2212.31.0

I tried a 2004 machine and it works OK on that as well.

Do other items in the same context menu, for the same file, work OK for you? The PicaView feature that displays an image viewer inside the context menu could be causing issues, perhaps.

Very interesting

I tried reinstalling Paint3D as well as restarting the system and disabling PicaView removing it entirely from the context menu but sadly none of that helped.
Yes surprisingly everything else from the context menu works perfectly well with that exact file and all other files.

I can actually use Open with and then select Paint3D and that would work from within Dopus and since this is not a serious problem or a program I am using often I dont think I should waste any more of your time on this. Thanks a lot for your help
