Describe the bug
PathCopy not showing in context menu of Windows 11 23H2

Hello @clechasseur
Unfortunately, due to this bug, the application is unusable.
Will the PathCopyCopy application still be updated or has it already been abandoned?
Still, thanks for all the time I was able to spend with this add-on - it made working with many files/folders a lot easier. ✌️
@clechasseur commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2024):
This is the version that I have on my new computer and Path Copy Copy works on mine. Just to make sure, did you select Show more options in the first contextual menu? Path Copy Copy is not Windows 11-ready yet, so you have to switch to the full contextual menu to see it. (See screenshots below - the interface is in French, but the menu options should be the same.)

I haven't given up on it yet, but the issue is that for a long time, I no longer had access to a working Windows development machine (my old Windows laptop was just too slow and unusable for that, and it didn't support Windows 11). I just got a new Windows 11 laptop, so I'm hoping to find time to start working on it again. Don't hold your breath, but hopefully 🙂

Good to hear it!
Tomorrow I'll try to detail what the problem is because I think I have a new clue.... :)
I'll have to check it quietly.

Hello @clechasseur
I noticed a strange thing.
1. When installing PathCopyCopy from winget in CMD:
winget install CLechasseur.PathCopyCopyThe folder with the installation is located here:
%LocalAppData%\Programs\Path Copy CopyThen the contextual menu does not work.
2. On the other hand, install directly from the file - PathCopyCopy20.0.exe.
The package installs into Program Files:
C:\Program Files\Path Copy CopyThen the contextual menu works properly. :)
Do you have control over the Winget command that the package also installs correctly, or has the right to add itself to the context menu?
FYI - Other applications that install this way add themselves correctly to the RMB Menu. :)
PS
If you need any tests, I will be happy to help. In the meantime, I leave tomorrow for vacation, so contact with me will be in a month.

@krzysiekk3 I did not create the WinGet manifest for Path Copy Copy. However, I perused it and it looks OK. The main difference is that when installing via WinGet, it passes
/CURRENTUSERto the installer, which installs for current user only.So I would like for you to try this:
Then check if Path Copy Copy works as expected. If not, we can move to further diagnostics.
@krzysiekk3 commented on GitHub (Jul 12, 2024):
@clechasseur Your suspicions are confirmed, manual installation for Current User has the same effect as with Winget - it does not work :)
@clechasseur commented on GitHub (Jul 12, 2024):
@krzysiekk3 It's good that it fails in the same way. (Failure is bad, but consistent failure is better than intermittent failure 😉)
Now: using the Registry Editor (
regedit), can you confirm that the following keys exist:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PathCopyCopy*is an actual star character, not a wildcard placeholder for something else)HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{82CB99A2-2F18-4D5D-9476-54347E3B6720}\InprocServer32Also, in that last key, the default value should contain the path to the Path Copy Copy DLL. Something like this:
Can you confim that it does point to the actual local Path Copy Copy DLL?

@clechasseur
I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner (I was on vacation).
Funny thing, as I have now installed PathCopyCopy on two computers using winget (current user only) --- everything works.
Maybe in the meantime Microsoft released some fix in Cumulative Update.
For a complete summary, screenshots below :)
Best regards!

Sounds good. I'll close this; support for Windows 11 is already covered by #169 .
