[quote="leo"]I'm still not clear on why you'd want to toggle the option on and off all the time, rather than put the menu items you want in the menu and move the ones you don't often want into a sub-menu (or access them via the shift key, instead of toggling the option and then opening the menu).
Have you seen this? Tip: Organise and Speed-Up Context Menus[/quote]
Yes I've seen the Tip, and I have printed it and it's clipped to the document holder in front of me.
As I do the customisation, I find I want to look at the menu with the Hide option set and then go back to having it off. Doesn't matter now - I run an Explorer Window alongside Opus (hide setting On) and flip back and forth.
Its a pity that Opus only 'recognises' static items from programs like VLC & BS media players. I found the items you see in FolderMisc (see attachment) in the FilesTypes->Directory Opus File Types->All Folders, I did not knowingly put them there, so I assume they came with 'the package'. But the only way I can see the items (with Hide set on) is to create a submenu and move them into it. I would actually like Browse with Maxview and Locate... in the main menu.
Are there any plans to do something similar for in-process COM objects, as is done for static items. Most (all ?) of my important context menu gadgets are in-process COM objects.
I'm starting to think its not worth the effort of trying to recreate what I had. I might just use Nirsoft's gadgets to block the things I 'rarely' use and live with a reduced unhidden menu Windows Menu. I am very selective with what context menu items I allow programs to register - so there is not much there that I never use.
Thanks BR
