contextual menu is different on files from search result

[Michael REMY]

hi,

in a classic view, when i do a contextual menu on a FLAC file, i have my tool to convert in the item choice from the menu.


but, when i open the contextual menu from a files'list (fro msearch result), the contextual menu is different whereas the file format is unified (all flac files) and i did not have my convert tool in the menu.

it is strange because when i select one by one my files (from the search result again), then i have my right menu (with my convert tool) but when i select all the files (using the selectall option) then the menu is different (no convert tool in my menu) whereas all the files are really all FLAC type. it is like the SelectAll produces a bug in the resultat searchlist.

is it normal ?

The context menu is created by the system, not Total Commander. You should see the exact same behaviour also in Explorer.

but why the context menu is normal when you select 1 file, but not normal when you select many file of the same kind (from the searchresult list of TC)

Because of the way how the context menu is requested: When there is just one file, TC gets the folder where this file is in, and passes the relative item to the function to get the menu.

With multiple files, it has to get the base folder "My Computer" and pass the full path lists to the function, because the files can be from different directories.
