I played with it today, and it seems to work fine. 1. Through its "Submenu Items" section, I added a new Item "Fossil" that will be called when right-clicking on folders (File Type = Folder) 2. After selecting the Fossil menu, I clicked on the Item button, and proceeded to add four items to the menu, each using c:\fossil.exe as the application but each having their own "Parameters" (without the quotes): "commit", "add "%1"", "revert", and "undo". I can now perform those tasks from within Total Commander instead of having to open a DOS box and typing the commands. I have a couple of questions: 1. In Windows, what is the difference between "Folder" and "File Folder"? Fast Explorer provides those two choices, and I have no idea what the difference is 2. Is there a way to tell Fossil to pause after running a command, so the user has some feedback before the DOS box closes, which it does when running commands that don't prompt the user for more such as "revert" or "undo"? 3. In Fast Explorer, does anyone have an idea what the difference is between "Static Items" and "Shell Extensions"? It looks like the former are just pointers to applications while the latter are pointers to COM-based DLLs.
