It used to be now and then, but it appears to be increasing. When I select a file in the results list, I use the Filemenu Tools Copy/Move To fuction in the Context menu to copy/move the file. It will copy/move, but the next time I right-click a file, a very different Context menu appears.
Also, sometimes Everything seems to crash after copying/moving. Especially after the Context menu gets shortened. There is a log file, 36MB.
Intermittend Context Menu losses and crashes
Re: Intermittend Context Menu losses and crashes
Thanks for the debug log, I've removed the link to protect your privacy.
The context menu issue occurs when the system is unable to find a file in the Everything result list. It could be the file is offline, or Everything missed a change to this file and it no longer exists. I couldn't see this exact issue in your debug log, usually there is a "ParseDisplayName exception" or "no menu" with error codes.
Could you please try forcing a rebuild, this may also help the crashing if the database is corrupted:

Maybe this is similar to what I was seeing with, Context Menu Changes Based on File Type.
Re: Intermittend Context Menu losses and crashes
It could be.
I've rebuilt the indexes, and it still happens.

If I move the files from the result list, the files reappear in the result list listing it's new location. So it's not that.

Thanks for the images.
Could you please send some debug output when right clicking a file after it has been moved?

- In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:

- Right click the moved file
- What is shown in the Everything debug console?
- In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/debug
Re: Intermittend Context Menu losses and crashes
I've captured the /debug output into a text file, and emailed it to you.
When I right-clicked the moved file, the abbreviated Context Menu appeared, and Everything crashed/closed when I selected the Everything icon in the system tray.
