How to modify TC's "send to" menu.

Post by *Dreamer »

A module of xposed called Complete Action Plus can modify most of the "send to" menu in Android. In other file explorers such as Root explorer, it works. But it doesn't work in TC.

Too many apps regester the "send to" menu, but we just use a few of them.

It seems TC doesn't use the way most Android apps used to build this menu list? Is there any way to modify it in TC?

Total Commander uses its own "Send to" menu because the Android one is broken on some versions of Android 4.4.

Such as don't show some of the apps in "send to" menu and change the sequence of the list, just like Complete Action Plus do at the Android's default "send to" menu.

I wonder how this tool does this - does it require root rights?

I see - Total Commander uses the function queryIntentActivities of the PackageManager object to query the apps for "send to". It should be possible to manipulate the output of queryIntentActivities with XPosed to get the same effect as manipulating the dialog box directly. Unfortunately I'm not inot this, therefore I cannot do it myself, sorry.

Thanks for the info.
I will ask the author of Complete Action Plus to see if he can do this.
