Title: Is it possible to treat files inside archives as though inside folders
Post by: GrantSP on March 29, 2012, 07:49:22

When you enter an archive the right-click context-menu is limited to a few selections: "Open" "Cut" "Copy" "Delete" "Properties".
I assume these are provided by Windows as they are the same regardless of explorer or file manager I use.
Is it possible to display, with all functionality, the right-click context-menu you would have on any file in an explorer window?

You are right the items you see in the right click menu are provided by windows, And they are also handled by windows when you select anything.
So it is not possible to show all the items you see when you are outside the archive.

However some special Multi Commander specific commands will be shown there in the future.

Thank you.

I look forward to seeing how you implement that.

Excellent work.
