Edit with Vim Context Menu Missing?

Win7 x64

Vim 8.0 (x86)

Context menu shows when open Windows Explorer from within Everything

[void]

Everything 771 x86

You will most likely need the x64 version of Everything, or, if possible, install the x86 version of Vim.

Vim is (& AFAIK only) x86.

On XP, the context menu item is there as expected.

I'll have to see what x64 Everything does later.

[therube]

Old, http://davidvielmetter.com/tricks/conte ... ows-7-x64/.
And in my case, the context-menu is there, just not with Everything.

http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/g ... ult-editor


(With quick looks at this, Win7 Registry entries vs XP Registry entires [found using RegScanner]...)
Win7 has:
HKCR\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\gvim
&
HKCR\CLSID\{0F0BFAE1-4C90-11D1-82D7-0004AC368519}\LocalServer32
which I didn't see on the XP end (again, with quick looks...).


(Only recently, with Vim 8.0, did I ever actually install Vim in Win7 [though I have long used Vim there, but to a far lessor extent then on XP], so it has only been recently that that I would have ever had the context-menu there to begin with. On XP, I have had the context-menu there for ages.)


I'll also note that 'Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware' is also void in Everything in Win7 (though not that I care about that), but it does show up on XP.

[therube]

You will most likely need the x64 version of Everything

x64 Everything 777b shows both 'Edit with Vim' & also 'Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-malware'.

And come to think of it (though I rarely give it a thought), but Altap Salamander is x64 too (& it even says it).


And some more ah's.

When I looked before, both vim.exe & gvim.exe are 32-bit, & they are.
But, gvimext.dll is x64.
Edit with Vim doesn't work on win64.

Likewise mbam.exe is 32-bit & mbamext.dll is x64.


So what I really need is gvimext.dll (32-bit) for 32-bit applications & gvimext64.dll for x64 applications.


I know some applications you can install twice, as 32, & also as 64, to get the desired effect...

Now what about LinkShellExtension... It sets up a dually, or something or the other, its overlay icons show up in both x86 & x64 Everything.

Windows ...64

This version contains the 64bit version of Link Shell Extension, but also contains a 32bit version, which is installed in parallel to the 64bit version, to satisfy third party filemanagers/explorers like total commander.

And instalDir/HardlinkShellExt.dll is x64.
And instalDir/32/HardlinkShellExt.dll is 32-bit.
