Context Menus

[3breadt]

Oh. But anyway I don't see the point in separating contextmenu-entries and file assocations.
If at all you could make contextmenu-entries only chooseable when file associations are selected.

i will send a patch for this over the weekend (i will keep it seperated thou)

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Is this the patch you just sent to the mailing list?

[ssbssa]

yes it is

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

applied

[Twisted_Daemon]

Thanks for applying the features to the single / multiple file context menu. It's great

However now the context menus don't appear when you select a directory. I was hoping that the context menus were being applied to both.

[ssbssa]

forgot to test the directories too.
i found the problem, will send the patch tomorrow.

[Twisted_Daemon]

Awesome.

Many thanks

[CloudStalker]

Thank you.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Applied for tomorrow's installer.

Slight problem with this. Has anyone else noticed that when using the context menu to add an entire folder it now loads everything in the playlist upside down?

Hi, I am also seeing this problem in 0.8.6c. I only see the 2 context menu items when clicking on directories but not files. I also did not check the File Associations box during the install.

I'm a little confused about what was fixed. Did you fix it so that the context menu items will appear for files even if you don't check the File Associations box during the install, or did you fix the install so that you cannot check the Context Menu box without also checking the File Associations box?

Any idea when the next release will be? Thanks.

Is there a fix yet on the whole "Add to VLC media player" loading things in the playlist almost randomly and sometimes upside down?

[Aqualung]

The context menus seem to work when I'm selecting a folder, I get the usual play with VLC player and add to VLC playlist etc. However I don't get this when I'm selecting a media file. Anyone know how to fix this?

Alright, so what's the conclusion on this one? Will it show up in the next official release? It certainly isn't there in 0.86c.

[3breadt]

It will be found in the next official release and can already be found in the nightly builds.

Just installed the latest version 0.8.6d. Sorry, I'm not getting any VLC context menu options whatsoever, at least not in Vista 64.

P.S. Let me note that some SW developers (Symantec, among others) have difficulties with the 64 bit Windows Explorer extensions (or they simply just forgot to write them). Note that Vista 64 has both a 32-bit and a 64-bit Windows Explorer, and it may be that VLC 0.8.6d may have been integrated with the 32 bit Windows Explorer (didn't bother to check), but it certainly is not integrated with the 64 bit Explorer.

[3breadt]

it will be in 0.9.0 and not 0.8.6.d, the d version is just a bugfix.

[Aqualung]

it will be in 0.9.0 and not 0.8.6.d, the d version is just a bugfix.

Thank you. When will that be please? Anyway, keep up the good work!

oh guys ...ty for help i was interesting this question too...

[DGMurdockIII]

bump

[3breadt]

Why bump?

[bugmenot]

Hi,

So what exactly was fixed here? One guy didn't know why you would want to separate the context menus from the file associations. Well what if I want to install VLC as my backup player, so I don't want any files to be associated with it. But I still want to be able to right click on a file and see the "Play with VLC" option. Is that what you guys fixed?

Thanks.

[3breadt]

It was fixed that when you right click on media files that you do not only have the option "Play in VLC" but also "Add to playlist" like when your right click on folders. The separation of file-association & context menu entries were already kept separated before.

[bugmenot]

Ah, but if I right click on any media file, I do not see either "Play in VLC" or "Add to playlist". That is because when I did the install, I unchecked the File Associations box. It would be nice to see those options when you right click without having to do any file associations.

[CloudStalker]

During the Install there's a seperate option for Context Menus and this should allow for those two options without the File Associations, It doesn't work this way?
