    I wonder there is no plugin for version control like cvs, perforce etc. I cannot develop without using  an scc plugin.

      Hello Phts,

      Regarding the shortcut or automatic update:
      There are two problems for automatic update. At first I have to develop different solutions for the different supported OS. I didn't like this and I decided me to implement a menu icon for update the folders. Second is, to implement the automatic update I have to implement a own thread. I won't decrees the performance during my plugin.

      Regarding the menu:
      There will be every time different opinions about the look of the menu. I decided me to mix the explorer context menu with my context menu. If you see, you could reach the most used items as normal. Only the file specific items are in 'Standard Menu'. For me a good solution, because the focus for me is to have a handy interface for Notepad's Explorer Plugin and Notepad.
      In a later version I try to implement a self define context menu.

      Best Regards
      Jens

      Hi Jens

      Thanks for your reply. To be honest, I missed the refresh menu icon (I'm too used to using keyboard shortcuts). Sorry about that. That already solves this problem for me.

      Regarding the menu, it's not really a problem either. How it is now (with the 'Standard Menu' submenu), I can already use Subversion. It's just one more level of indirection. A user definable context menu would obviously solve this nicely.

      Cheers

      Actually, with the new explorer plugin and TortoiseSVN installed, Subversion plugs in quite nicely. The only two flaws I found so far are that to refresh the icons you need to change directories (F5 or automatic would be nicer) and I wish a right click with the mouse would give me the 'Standard Menu' first, with the custom explorer plugin menu as a submenu (it's the other way round at the moment).

      Cheers
