Re: [fossil-users] Adding Fossil to Windows Explorer context menu?
Dear Gilles, I have used the fast explorer to achieve a menu entry just beneath 7zip explorer entry. You should try the Submenu Items selection on the left side of fast explorer. But I use only the type File Folder.

Re: [fossil-users] Adding Fossil to Windows Explorer context menu?
Hello Tomek, you are right, this would be the best solution. But there exist a problem with shell extension and .net. As far as I know it is not officially supported by Microsoft. First they said, that with the .net Framework 4.0 it should be available, but it is not announced (but may be I am wrong, if anybody knows better, please mail). The thing I liked with the fast explorer approach one can customize the options to the own needs, I my self only use very little commands of all the available ones, so I can configure it, to those things I really need, with very low amount of time.

For windows users, there is already an effort to get fossil extended to the explorer context menu. At the moment, the C# library for fossil commands is being written. See Ingo's SharpFossil library implementation for .NET purposes: http://repository.mobile-developers.de/cgi-bin/ikoch/sharpfossil/wiki?name=SharpFossil+Library. I think that the library currently has most of the commonly used functions written, so there might be an opportunity to start coding a explorer extension using that library. Just some cents...

Re: [fossil-users] Adding Fossil to Windows Explorer context menu?
Hi Gilles, thanks for sharing the idea using Fast Explorer. I find it very good! For my personal use I have written a small .net program FossilCmd for opening a windows command console and sending fossil commands to it. The windows command console remains open until I close it directly. If there is already an open windows command console for this particular working directory, the command is send to this window, so there will no cluttering of serval open windows command consoles, only one per working directory (this is achieved by searching the _FOSSIL_ file in the parent directories). With the fast explorer I build an explorer menu (only for directories) and call the program (e.g. FossilCmd changes %1, where %1 is the directory I selected in explorer). This is pretty nice working (just used it for one day). If this is of any use for others, I can make this public available.

Re: [fossil-users] fossil rm ./*
Oh no, I didn't meant to say, its important. And yes, you are right, I use this for an obscure corner case, and doing this with commandline is no problem.
