Explorer Context Menu differences in BRU versions?
Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2021 1:07 pm
I've used the beloved version 2.7.1.2 as portable for some time, and created my own shortcut link placed in Win 7 "Send To" folder.
The behavior has been that even if BRU was opened say to "drive wherever\folder X",
it would instantly jump to a new "drive\folder" location whenever I would R-click > "Send To" on the new location.
This is desired behavior as it means BRU is left open/running, and immediately responsive to the new task-demand.
[I only get a minor "warning" d-box if an item remains cursor-selected within BRU whilst going to the new location]
---------------------
Today I ran the new version 3.4.3.0 portable, and it won't respond to a changed location - it keeps focused on the previous location.
So then I came here and registered, and learned about the 'new' context menu option for the INSTALLED BRU
( viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5268&p=14160&hilit=context+menu#p14160 )
and viewtopic.php?p=8175#p8175 )
Then I installed BRU and it responds beautifully to a changed location
(while open at one location, it immediately changes to the new location requested by Rclick context "Bulk Renamer Here")
MY QUESTION -- why doesn't the new version portable respond like the old one - it's coded differently obviously - but out of necessity/conflicts/ ??
I tried using Target: "D:\0..Apps.p\Bulk.Rename.Utility.p\Bulk Rename Utility.exe" "%1" but that didn't work
** CAN a link be created for the version 3.4.3.0 portable to function like the Installed version?
* I see also that a number of folks have searched for, and discovered, the hotkeys to selectively change the work panes --
that's a terrifice bit of coding, and I've bound those to my trusty STrokeIt mouse strokes.
Thank You for this excellent and necessary app!
