1.To edit a context menu object, users load the list of existing items by calling the context menu view within the Visual Designer mode of PackDesigner.
2.Clicking on the list item of the object that has to be modified displays its details in the editor panel on the right hand side of the RayPack application screen.
The following properties of the context menu object may be manipulated:
The selector control offers the list of available file extension objects within the current packaging project. If a different extension is selected, and the new combination of extension and verb is not unique, the change is invalid and will therefore not be saved.
Hover over the selector control, which is marked with red background color in case of an invalid selection, and read the error message to solve incorrect extension selection states.
If the required file extension has not been added to the packaging project yet, users may invoke the dialog for the creation of new file extension objects by clicking on the [...] button at the right hand side of the file extension selector control. As soon as the new extension is created and the dialog window closed, the new item can be selected from the file extension selector control.
Users may either use the selector to choose one of the existing verbs, or simply type in a custom verb value. Please make sure to follow the restrictions for verb definitions.
As soon as a different verb value is selected or entered, the new combination of extension and verb checked for uniqueness within the packaging project. The change is invalid if the combination is not unique, and will therefore not be saved.
Hover over the selector control, which is marked with red background color in case of an invalid value, and read the error message to solve incorrect verb values.
Enter an integer value for the context menu item order, or leave the input control empty.
The command value is the localizable label of the context menu item which is displayed on the target machine when a user right-clicks a file with the defined file extension. If it is left empty, the target system defines a default label according to the verb value defined earlier.
The argument value may be left empty, contain parameters "%1" or "%2" for file or printer name, or make use of properties defined for the same component the file extension object related to the context menu item is installed by. Please make sure to use properties by applying the standard notation with square brackets (e. g. "[MyProperty]").
