Hello,
The contextual menu "Find4J" appears on folder selection but not on supported archive files.
When you open find4j you are then able to select "File folders and archives".
It could be useful to add the contextual menu for supported formats like jar, war, ear, zip...
Thank you
Florian

    Check that this needs to be implemented in the installer file win_registry.xml for each supported file (based on our "Folder" extension ) :
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder
    Java archive is not registered by default, so we may even need to define them

    For instance with a reg file like :
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\Find4j]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\Find4j\command]
    @=hex(2):22,00,43,00,3a,00,5c,00,44,00,65,00,76,00,54,00,6f,00,6f,00,6c,00,73,\ 00,5c,00,46,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,34,00,6a,00,5c,00,73,00,65,00,61,00,72,00,\ 63,00,68,00,55,00,49,00,2e,00,63,00,6d,00,64,00,22,00,20,00,25,00,31,00,00,\ 00

    it works

    We might also have to do it for the the oher supported file extnsions for jars et zips. For instanceopen office documents (.odt, .dp, .odg, .odb) are jar files with a different extension.

    Also, remember that supported extensions are configurable, therefore not all known at install time, so maybe we should provide a template .reg file to import in the windows registry and document how it should be adapted
