Share context menu not working

Post by Loki@99 »

Dear dev,

Nothing happens when clicking Share in context menu.

Environment:

Everything-1.5.0.1363a.x64
Windows 11 23H2 22631.2861

Thanks for investigating,

It should open windows default file sharing options

Browse a file with windows explorer, right click to open context menu and click Share then there will be options.

Running Everything as administrator?
(Administrator will be shown in the title bar)

I now realize thet my question could be interpreted in two ways.

Basic idea is to not run Everything as administrator to prevent issues.

This is on my Things to fix list.

Calling InvokeCommand with the Windows.ModernShare verb fails with 80070578 (invalid window handle)

Looks like Windows.ModernShare is looking for an Explorer window handle?

I'll remove this context menu item in the next alpha update.
