Context menu is not displayed anymore

Post by Biff »

Suddenly the context menu is not displayed anymore in the result / main window, when I right mouse click nothing happens. How could I correct it?

Did you check to see that the "checkbox(s)" are still enabled?

Not really "check boxes", but ...

Tools | Options | General -> Context Menu => Show | Show with Shift | Do not show

I intentionally didn't change anything there.

Clicking "Reostore Defaults" does not help.

The context menu might not be displaying because a source file is missing, please force a rebuild:
  • In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab.
  • Click Force rebuild.
If the problem persists, what is displayed in the debug console after right clicking on an item?

Many thanks for the links, I will check that out.

It keeps staying the same. Even with a new version - portable like the old one - I just downloaded. Only the context menu of folders are shown.

Thanks for the debug out.

Do you have Copy-handler installed?

Something is throwing an exception when Everything builds the context menu.

Everything 1.4 should display some more information about the exception.

I doubt that Copy-handler is the issue, it's just odd that it is printing something to everythings debug log after it has attached itself.

Ah, yes, CopyHandler is the issue, after closing it the conetext menu is shown.

Many thanks
