Why Rightclick menu of TC's miss a few item?

This screenshot shows right-click menus of the same file in TC (left) and Explorer (right). Why TC one left a few item? (it's program I installed, not system built-in through....)

Hello, dindog.

You are using a 32-bit Total Commander edition on a 64-bit Windows edition. - The Total Comander context menu holds a submenu namd X64, this is why I know. - Check whether the missing entries from the Explorer context menu are offered inside the X64 submenu of Total Commander.

Another approach would be installing the combined 64-bit/32-bit edition of Total Commander 8.01 and use Total Commander 8.01 64-bit.

Kind regards,
Karl

em. Never use 64bit version for it is not compatible with 32bit plugins. You are right, one of the missing item shows up after I run the 64bit version.

Is there some hand-make way to make my a right-click menu item on my own in TC ?

P.S. It seem a universal problem to spell my user id right, people all around the world prefer "dingdong", I am considering take that name next time I register to a forum :)

Hello, dindog.

(Sorry for misspelling your name in my first reply. :oops: Corrected by now.)

This was the reason why I recommended using the combined 64-bit/32-bit edition of Total Commander. Most of the frequently used plugins seem to be available as 32-bit and 64-bit editions by now. - Cf. List of 64-bit plugins and addons - Whenever you have to use a plugin that is available as 32-bit only, you might resort to using T.C. 32-bit.

Personally, I do not miss any plugin which is not available as 64-bit edition. Yet, this will depend on the personal needs. If I had to switch between T.C. 64-bit and 32-bit frequently, I might have stayed with T.C. 32-bit, too.

Anyway:
Personally I do not know of any way of manually adding a menu entry to the X64 submenu. As far as I remember, T.C. queries the list of available 64-bit/32-bit context menu entries at runtime.
But I may be wrong and there is a way.

Kind regards,
Karl

it's fine, dindog just some meaningless combination of letter :) .
I need MultiARC for Freearc support, at this moment, 32bit version still looks like a better option for me. Thank you very much any way.
