Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Peer Sommerlund (peso) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: TortoiseHg menu not present on desktop Initial Comment: THG Version 0.2 The context menu on the desktop does not display the TortoiseHG sub-menu. The menu is displayed inside other folders, even inside folders on the desktop. I.e. for user foo with a folder bar on the desktop: C:\Documents and Settings\foo\ -- displays menu C:\Documents and Settings\foo\Desktop\ -- does not display menu C:\Documents and Settings\foo\Desktop\bar\ -- displays menu This is true for the background desktop, as well as for a Windows Explorer session that browses the desktop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Steve Borho (sborho) Date: 2009-03-05 01:41 Message: moved to bb ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: TK Soh (tksoh) Date: 2008-03-17 04:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=411637 Originator: NO > It's just going to require out-of-the-folder thinking.

Do you have any web resources on this issue? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ted Pavlic (neodore) Date: 2008-03-15 14:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=204733 Originator: NO I don't think that's a "discrepancy." When you right-click on the Desktop *folder*, the "Properties" does not bring up the Display properties. However, that's exactly what happens when you right-click on the *Desktop* (not the folder). Windows just doesn't view the desktop as a folder. This is one of the reasons why Windows doesn't act like you might expect when you do things like moving the Desktop folder while the Explorer is running. It's just going to require out-of-the-folder thinking. There's definitely a way to insert a contextual menu there--you just can't expect to add it like you would to a normal file object. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ted Pavlic (neodore) Date: 2008-03-15 11:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=204733 Originator: NO The desktop is a special folder that doesn't respond the same was as other folders. HOWEVER, it is possible to add to that context menu. For example, the backup tool "Mozy" does it. I just think you have to do more than associate your menu with folders. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-03-14 19:23 Message: Logged In: NO Draw back: The menu isn't shown anywhere. Sorry for teh wrong report. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-03-14 19:21 Message: Logged In: NO I saw the same on a Windows Vista 64bit of a friend of mine with THG 0.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: TK Soh (tksoh) Date: 2008-01-17 08:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=411637 Originator: NO I guessing the desktop (not the dir) is some kind of virtual folder object, where no pathname is passed into the context menu extension when right-clicking on the background desktop. One discrepancy though, the menu shows up ok in C:\Documents and Settings\foo\Desktop\ directory on my system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=968354&aid=1873590&group_id=199155 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-develop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-develop
