Feature request (small ones I hope)
Extra various function items
Thursday, December 7, 2006 by SirBedwyr | Discussion: RightClick
Well, I continue getting back into the OD swing of things. A few items I think that would make Right Click very useful.
- Any of the right click items you normally have in non rightclick mode?
For instance:
--Yes, there is new folder, but how about the menu for new (any file)?
--Arrange icons menu.
--Undo delete (not the same as Undo, apparently).
--Refresh
--This is tougher to do dynamically, but access to any given number of custom commands and menus (Nvidia display, other programs, etc).
- Also, how about access to the full start menu? I see "popup start menu" as a various function item, but it only causes the start menu to appear in its normal location for me. I grant you I can replicate its features with RightClick already, but it would be very cool to just bring up the menu anywhere on the screen.
Hope that helps.

You can also put a shortcut to presstart.exe, but the menu still comes up at the bottom left. What i would like is:
1. A save option, instead of relying on RC to do it blind - which isn't 100% reliable, though backing up the RC folder when happy is useful.
2. Redesign the bizarre shortcut image custom size dialog - does it really need to open three windows to adjust the image size? - And you can't resize the taskbar icon blah blah...
And thanks loads for the Ctrl+RC tip - where is *that* in the docs? Interestingly, the 'Display Properties' dialog ignores the WB theme if you hold down Ctrl.

For the Start Menu add a Standard Link > Browse > Use Special Folder > Programs........Very easy

As far as teh start menu, I think you have to custom build that using the Links option.
