PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files

[pirrbe]

This is the collection of shell commands in an Explorer :

And this is actually in PA Explorer 2017_91 :

So if you want to create an new folder/subfolder you have to open a standard explorer…

[skypx]

@spwolf @pirrbe @Mili
So I checked PA 91 explorer and Win 10 64 bit file manager and don’t have an option to create a sub-folder while right clicking on an existing folder. I actually can’t remember creating a folder that way.

[skypx]

Maybe I’m missing something, but its working ok here.

[pirrbe]

@skypx with version 2017.91 ?

[skypx]

@pirrbe yes I’m using the latest version. I even did a clean install because the update from .90 was kinda wonky.

[pirrbe]

@skypx I did a ‘fast’ upgrade… Curious if other users have the same problem and that it is not an isolated prob on my PA install. But Win10 explorer and Opus Pro explorer works, only PA is handicapped :-(.

[spwolf]

@pirrbe maybe something with x86 version of Windows?

[pirrbe]

@spwolf sceptic, external explorers contains ‘new’ function. Only my PA explorer is missing it. I’m sure in 17008x there was no problem. Not sure it was missing in 17009x… so, a full installation ? mmmm, :-( means again extra running
of batches

[spwolf]

@pirrbe there is new version of explorer components… maybe they messed something up for x86… i have same menu as @skypx under Win10 x64.

@Mili can check it out on x86 too and we can report it.

thanks!

[pirrbe]

@spwolf ok, will wait for results before a new ‘slow ring’ install…
Here info on PAshellext that’s running now on my X86:

[Mili]

tested here on an x86 system, worked fine. hm…

[pirrbe]

@mili indeed hmmm… , uninstalled 91 and installed 90 but same problem : no NEW shell for folder creation. Now back on 91. Forget this problem, I will use external explorers to create new folders/subs.

[pirrbe]

@pirrbe to complete this mystery : configuring clouds in PA (attachementcloud), no problems to create a new folder or sub. ??? (subfolder test created…)

[spwolf]

@pirrbe Ac is completely different.

can you post full picture of where you dont get new, so we see full PA window? maybe we will get the idea.

i noticed how in root of my pc and Libraries folders, you cant create new folder, but thats correct behaviour, works everywhere else on my x86 win10 tablet

[pirrbe]

@spwolf Indeed, if I point an empty space in PA explorer, I have identical shells as skypx and you. But the problem in PA explorer is when you point on an existing folder and want to create a sub-folder… there PA explorer shell misses the ‘NEW’ function.
Creation of a new folder through PA explorer : no problem

Creation of a subfolder through PA explorer : missing NEW

Maybe some confusion of my first post remark ‘folder/subfolder’… problem is only related to creation of subfolders trough PA explorer :-(

[spwolf]

@pirrbe I get exactly the same in Windows Explorer too… there is no New> in Windows Explorer either, at least on my own version of Win10.

[Mili]

you can get the New Folder option when clicking on an empty space in explorer window. If your folder/subfolder is full of files, move all the way down to the bottom and click the empty space under the last file and the New Folder option will be available

[pirrbe]

@mili Hi Mili, it’s Monday say maybe you got a ‘hard late outdoor’ weekend and didn’t read well my above post with the two screenshots with BOLD titles

Creation of a new folder through PA explorer : no problem
Creation of a subfolder through PA explorer : missing NEW

Resume : in PA Explorer no problems to create a new folder through shell ‘NEW’ command, but select an existing folder and try then to create a new sub. IMPOSSIBLE : suddenly the NEW shell command is missing in PA Explorer !!!

[Mili]

in the screenshot I posted with the New Folder option available, isn’t it occurring in a subfolder, giving me an option to create another new folder/subfolder?

[Mili]

ps. weekends are for amateurs :)))

[pirrbe]

@mili :-))))) through PA explorer select any folder and try to create a subfolder… good luck. Or just create a new folder and then try to create a subfolder… good luck too… :-)

[spwolf]

@pirrbe said in Missing "NEW" in shell commands PA Explorer:

@mili :-))))) through PA explorer select any folder and try to create a subfolder… good luck. Or just create a new folder and then try to create a subfolder… good luck too… :-)

what Mili is saying is that you can enter folder and click on empty space to get new option.

As I mentioned before, when I select folder in Windows Explorer, I do NOT get the New option either. Maybe some other software is adding New option for you?

[pirrbe]

@spwolf to avoid any misunderstanding : you mean that you cannot even create subfolders trhough Windows Explorer on your win10… ??? And Mili ? Or other co-workers ? I wonder what’s the situation of other users. I never experienced that problem, even after the recent latest upgrade of MS Win10. :-(. Other fact : an old bug is back concerning config setting fields. But is this now related to this mismatch stuff of win10<>PA or resurrection in PA after new release. I still report them ?

I can create them if I click on empty space and then new.

If I right click on folder, there is no New option in both Windows Explorer and PA. Thats on both of my Win10 computers. Maybe someone else can chime on their own setups.

@spwolf @pirrbe @Mili
So I checked PA 91 explorer and Win 10 64 bit file manager and don’t have an option to create a sub-folder while right clicking on an existing folder. I actually can’t remember creating a folder that way.

[pirrbe]

@skypx ? Strange, but how did or do you create subfolders ? I only use shell commands for it :-)

[pirrbe]

Google or bing for “missing shell command new folder in win10”.
A lot of win users got this problem !

[skypx]

@pirrbe
I have always done it the long way. Just old school I guess.

[pirrbe]

@skypx that’s even faster :-) and if you don’t use shell commands, you don’t even have to fix your registry :-)))))))))))))))))))
