I've been using the tool "PowerPro" for many years now, and you can do a lot of useful things with it; among other things, you can set up your own context menu for files, which then appears in the Windows Explorer context menu. I use this possibility among other things to be able to execute portable applications from the Windows Explorer context menu. In Windows Explorer (or alternatives such as Q-Dir), this works as desired.
However, when I call a Powerpro context menu function from the Everything file overview or results list, these functions are always executed twice. With other "non-Powerpro" context menu functions, there are no problems in Everything.
I have tested this with Everything 1.4.1.1022 and 1.5.0.1340a, but I'm pretty sure the problem has been around for a while.
Does anyone have a tip for me?
Context menu action triggered twice
Re: Context menu action triggered twice
This, PowerPro?
I guess so. And the associated discussion, Context menu for file - action is triggered twice.

The offical PowerPro site is "https://groups.io/g/PowerPro" and yes, it's this discussion.
For a long time I thought it was a PowerPro problem that I finally wanted to solve. So I posted a question in the Powerpro forum.
But then I noticed, that the problem only occurs when called from Everything. So I asked here.
Meanwhile the developer of Powerpro noticed something strange in his code: "...the context dll may mistakenly return an error code to explorer (or Everything) after it runs a command. Perhaps Explorer ignores this error code while Everything tries again exactly once more.". He published an experimental version yesterday which fixed the bug.
So it is not an Everything issue.
