How to access TortoiseGit context menu from TC when moving versioned items

Post by *pertheli »

Hello,

I use git from TC via the context menu/overlay icons.

If I want to move a versioned git file from one folder to another I do:
1. In Windows explorer, open source and target folder windows
2. Right click on the versioned file on the source folder window and drag and drop on target folder window.
3. Windows will display a context menu with the following menu items:
Git Move versioned items(s) here
Git Move and rename versioned items here
4. I select the menu item in step 3 to achieve the git command

My question is how do I achieve this in TC.

Thank you

Please check in TortoiseGit settings whether the display of Tortoise context menus is disabled in programs other than the Explorer.

pertheli,
Try holding shift while right-dragging the items.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Wow, I haven't noticed this TortoiseGit feature, always moved via "Rename..." in TortoiseGit context menu (requires to enter relative path manually for moving), but "Git Move and rename versioned item here" command for single item and "Git Move versioned item(s) here" for multiple files look much better. :D

Do the following:
1. Go to TortoiseGit settings -> Icon overlays and make sure "Show context menu overlay only in explorer" is not checked.
2. Go to Total Commander Configuration -> Options... -> Icons check "Show overlay icons"
