-- 3078
FIXED - Fixed shell context menu. It does now handle errors from 3rd party shell extensions better, and if shell extension crash it might not bring MC with it


~80% of all crashes with MultiCommander is because of 3rd party shell extensions.. This fix should prevent MultiCommander from crashes when a shell extensions crashes.

You can now enabled an extra confirmation box when doing copy/delete/move. that say  You are about to delete 100GB. Sure you want to delete.. (or copy if you are doing copy)
Yes very annoying. But IF you want this. you have to enable in the core settings in the FileSystem tab. It is NOT on by defaut.
I don't see many want this. However. There is other settings for this.."Use rules" for this feature.

This allows you do define some rules when you want to show this.. Like If you delete from H:\* and totalsize is over 200G . Or if you delete files from C:\Windows..  Then you might was to show this extra warning.
But to use the rules you have to edit the ConfirmationRules.xml config file manually. There is no editor. and it is not planed for one. Not now.

Thanks for the update Mathias.
Unfortunately some of my context items have now been lost.  They still exist in Explorer but not in MC i.e. - the base item remains but the submenu is a blank tab. 
Tried a reinstall - no change.
Can I manually restore these? Regedit?

Thanks Mathias
Had a couple of crashes/restarts when using ctrl+x ctrl+v. 
Sent in the crash reports. It referenced kernel.dll in one dialog.

Copying using Copy / Paste is handled by Windows Shell and not MC.
Its crashed in a Windows components. (Actually the Windows shell undo manager.)  not in MC code. so impossible to say why it crashed..

Thanks Mathias.
I did wonder why/how it was the shell commands that caused it, have never seen it before.
I selected items in MC & then used ctrl+x / v using MC to navigate between folders. IIRC there had also been a file being moved to USB via MC move command/dialog when I'd started using the shell commands. 

& Thanks for the update but FYI

That is the problem with Windows Shell and Shell Extensions.
When Shell things are called ether Windows things or from Shell Extensions,. They are run inside the calling process..  (here MultiCommander) and if they crash.. They bring down the calling app
(That Microsoft have not replaced that old legacy solution with something new is safe is craszy)

Thanks for replies Mathias.
We can always rely on M$ to create problems
