Nested Windows 11 context menu items

Re: Nested Windows 11 context menu items

Well I'm bummed now. Just updated to 2023-12-22 and now I only have the grouped menu. That adds an extra click to get to what I need. I'd rather have both if that's what I have to choose between.

The singular dBpoweramp submenu appears for WAV files, but not FLAC files, for those the duplication remains.

I keep clicking 'Reply to Thread' instead of 'Post Quick Reply'. It clears what I had written, so I think it posted.

Re: Nested Windows 11 context menu items

I reverted back to the previous build, because this new "fix" for the duplication results in different behavior for WAV files than for FLAC files, and it's confusing/disconcerting to have the menu structure different each time (I work with WAV and FLAC files constantly). So, I'll wait for another fix.

The next version will create an option to have win11 only, win11 + old, or just old.

Re: Nested Windows 11 context menu items

great, thank you! Any idea why I'd be getting one behavior for WAV files and different behavior for FLAC files?

Detailed mitigation instructions here:

https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?50725-Windows-11-Explorer-Troubleshooting

To help us understand this problem better, I'd like you to run ShellExView: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
Check: Options / Hide All Microsoft Extensions
Save and post report of shown items. Perhaps the answer is there somewhere, I'll try to install the same combination of software interacting with Explorer as you have.

Regarding WAV vs FLAC,
I'd like to see registry exports of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.flac if possible.
You can email to peter@dbpoweramp.com instead of posting here if it's more convenient that way.

Thanks.

Re: Nested Windows 11 context menu items

Thanks! After following the above instructions (disabling the cascaded menu, enabling the classic menu, and importing the.reg file), I now have the desired behavior on both WAV and FLAC files, with no duplication.
