When you have a selection you sometimes want to open one of its individual files without losing the selection.
Currently if you do that, you have to lose the selection, even if you are double-clicking the previewer (which you can get by ctrl-clicking an item off then on) again.
I would suggest -
* Double-clicking the file in the previewer should launch it without losing the selection
* Right-clicking the preview should provide a full menu for that file ideally directly otherwise with a second step
* Right-clicking a file in a selection should also provide an entry "Context menu for File" which when clicked could pop up the single file's context menu
all without losing the selection
* Currently when you shift right-click an item you get a slightly fuller menu but most entries are the same as the non-modified menu which has little value; I think the shift right-click menu should provide commands none of which are on the standard context menu, and that would give a lot of space for new things on it. (Personally most standard items on the menu like cut & paste etc I never normally want, and the windows 11 new menu in Explorer is precisely full of the very items I never need...)

Re: Opening File among selection without losing selection
Right click the tab (or menubar) and click Duplicate Tab.
The next alpha update will execute only the previewed file, without clearing your selection.
I will consider a full right click context menu item from the preview pane.
Thank you for the suggestions.

Re: Opening File among selection without losing selection
Everything 1.5.0.1401a will now open the previewed file (instead of the focus) when double clicking the preview pane.
The selection is no longer cleared when double clicking the preview pane.
