Send to items are not all showing in latest version 1.9 #749
Description
Hi,
I was using the older version 1.8 all the time and the only problem I had with this version was that I could not open the terminal as admin using SHIFT key and clicking on terminal menu. Sometimes it worked but mostly not. Why?
Now I tried the newer version 1.9 and the terminal problem is fixed and it does open it as admin using SHIFT key. That's good, but the problem in this version is that I don't get all items to see if I select files and go to Send to menu. A few are showing but not all I have stored in Send to (shell:sendto) folder. Why? In version 1.8 it does show all items.
Maybe you can tell me how to fix it or what to edit to get all items to see which are stored in Send to folder. Thank you.

pls give more info; share screenshots with v1.9 and v1.8 (or the default windows context menu(

Hi, the default Windows Context is showing all items from 'sendto' folder and version 1.8 too. Only latest version 1.9 is not showing all items which are stored in the folder what makes me wonder. Below a image. The latest version 1.9 I run in default state without to modify any files, so in that case it should normally show all items in sendto folder but it does not.

Now that I see the screenshots I have no idea what the problem is.
Before v1.8.1, the context menu would fully load all sub-menus before being displayed, which made it slow and unstable. After v1.8.1, moudey reworked the app so that each sub-menu is only loaded when selected. This change made context menus with many sub-menus much faster and more stable. There were comments that the SendТо menu was not displayed at all for "unknown reasons" But visualizing just the first few elements - that's something completely new
restore the SendТо menu to main context menu (not in sub-menu)

So it seems that version 1.9 does not show all items which are stored in SendTo folder if you have selected specific file types. In some cases like selecting .html files its showing a empty SendTo menu. Would be nice if you could fix that problem to show everything again. Otherwise if we need to handle this manually then tell us how. What to edit and write into (lines) which file to create a extra SendTo menu into main menu. Thanks.

NS can create a menu of items based on a folder that contains files/folders (as well as shortcuts) - it doesn't have to be the SendTo folder
#364 (comment)
This was an attempt to recreate it. System shortcuts cannot be used (
Compressed (zipped) folderMail recipientmay bebluetooth devices... )- Windows uses a drag-drop simulation that the NS cannot reproduce for them. Try it - if it works for you I can improve it - NS now has more functions, that i can use.Dean-Corso commentedon Sep 22, 2025
OK thanks for adding that extra SendTo script. I added it and it seems to work good so far. I also have mostly just stored shortcuts into that folder I need to open with some files etc. Very good and thank you. So you should add this script too in imports in next releases just in case users wanna use it too without to write anything by themself.

Well, for me its the entire "New" menu. Event without any imports (removed them all to verify) and just a blank install, its missing.
This really sucks as I couldnt quite emulate the "native" implementation of the explorers new menu (create item -> highlight/rename it automatically).
It was only introduced on 1.9.18 IN COMBINATION with Win 11 24H2+ before that everything was fine

On 1.9.18 Win 11 25H2, having a similar issue. Sendto menu only loads correctly with certain file types. For me it is mainly jpg files. It acts differently for different file types. For example, on PNG the only option that shows is send to "Documents." On some other file typs like txt, exe, bat, pdf, htm, the menu shows nothing. Just a tiny blank window.

This should be fixed in Nilesoft Shell Pro, a community fork of Nilesoft Shell that I maintain (not an official Nilesoft build). Windows fills the Send to and New submenus after the menu opens, and Shell now reads them again once they are filled. The fix is based on #846.
If you want to try it: https://github.com/Abdullah-Masood-05/Shell/releases/latest. Uninstall the original Nilesoft Shell first, since the two don't replace each other. I could only test it on my own machines, so I'd like to hear whether it works for you.
