Right Click Problem with Teracopy 4

TeraCopyIssueFeature

When you drag a file with a right click, and let go of mouse button. The Teracopy dialog is displayed, but only give option to Copy and Not to Move, would be good to select one or the other (like on the normal windows popup menu). Which brings me to the next point that once the Teracopy dialog is closed or option selected, the standard Windows right click shortcut popup menu is displayed with the windows options (eg. copy/move etc). So it would be good to replace the standard windows prompt to improve user experience.

    There's no reliable way to distinguish a right-button drag from a left-button drag in Windows — both come through the same shell interface — so the TeraCopy paste dialog always appears. If you need an entry from the right-click menu instead, just close the paste dialog.

    Closing the system popup menu automatically isn't possible either, short of hacks like sending the Escape key to the foreground window.

    You can modify %APPDATA%\TeraCopy\PasteMenu.ini to have both Copy and Move operations independent of the current mode:

    [1] title=Copy with TeraCopy 
path=C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe 
copy=copy 
cut=copy 
parameters=*"{list}" "{target}"

[2] title=Move with TeraCopy 
path=C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe 
copy=move 
cut=move 
parameters=*"{list}" "{target}"
