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.

Best regards
  Bernhard

Betreff: Re: [fossil-users] Adding Fossil to Windows Explorer context menu?

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...

Actually, it's not that good because...
- it requires installing Fast Explorer
- it requires adding a fossil.bat just to call "pause" to keep the DOS
box open after fossil.exe exits
- "fossil gdiff --from previous myfile.txt" doesn't work because "%1%"
returns the full path
- the gdiff above is called for All Files, which means that this item
is not displayed in the Fossil group like the other items

I haven't found how to add a group + items in the context menu à la
7zip. It seems like we must write a COM DLL for this.

Sound good. Could you upload it so we can check it out?

Thank you.
