| TurboSFV v9.30 - Context menu in Windows 11 |
Notes to TurboSFV v9.30:
TurboSFV now supports the new Windows 11 context menu: For those who are already on Windows 11, a new menu entry now appears in the new context menu, if you right click on a folder or a file.
As designed by Windows, the registration of the menu entry in the new context menu must be done on user level, thus the setup can't register it for all users. A normal user simply starts the main program TurboSFV.exe and then closes and
opens again the explorer - the menu entry should then appear in the new context
menu.
However, there are a few issues with this new context menu in Windows 11 (seen in build 22000.493):
For example, you can configure TurboSFV in a way, that hash types appear in sub menus, grouped by their hash families. The Windows shell indicates, that there is a sub menu, but doesn't open it, if you navigate the mouse pointer on this
menu entry. To work around, simply switch off grouping of menu entries in the TurboSFV configuration. There, you can also limit the number of menu entries to be shown, if the list of menu entries gets too large, because the shell doesn't
allow cascaded sub
menus.
The menu entry in the new Windows 11 context menu is based on a different shell interface IExplorerCommand, while the menu entry in the legacy context menu (the one you get with "Show more options or Shift F10) is based on interface
IContextMenu. The shell displays the entry based on IExplorerCommand also in the legacy context menu, thus there you might see two menu entries for TurboSFV. In the configuration, you can instruct TurboSFV to hide the menu entry based on a
specific
interface.
The menu entry in the legacy context menu, which is based on interface IExplorerCommand, has further issues: The shell only allows up to (around) 16 menu entries and simply cuts the rest. This is not the case in the new context menu. More
funny: While the shell in the new context menu doesn't open sub menus in the TurboSFV menu, cascaded menus in the legacy context menu are now allowed and
displayed.
Well, enough fun for today - the implementation was a hard piece of work. If you like to add a comment regarding this new version, then here is the right place.
