missing options in file context menu

Post by markez »

Hi there,

I'm running Salamder 2.52 on a Win7 Ultimate 64-Bit.

I installed some programms that add entries to the file context menu (right-click on a file). While these entry (for example WinMerge) show up in regular windows explorer, they are not visible when right clicking on a file inside Salamander. Under XP this was no problem.

Attached picture shows on the right side the windows explorer "Vergleichen" command, what is missing in Salamander menu.

thanks for any help.
Markus

This is nothing new. Salamander is a 32 bit application. Your system is 64 bit. Those two things do not work together. You can allways install 32 bit shell extensions so they will work with salamander.

Search the forum for "shell extension"

Markus, you can vote for native x64 version (or UAC support) here: http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3597

thanks for the information.

I voted for 64 Bit version already since I regard Salamander as one of the best tools available.
