chere does not add an entry in the context menu initiated within folders/drives (right clicking in an empty space while inside the folder/drive)

[klonos]

chere adds context menu entries for when right-clicking on folders 
(under HKCR\Directory\shell\) and local/removable/network drives (under 
HKCR\Drive\shell\) but it doesn't add an entry to the folder/drive 
background context menu (HKCR\Directory\Background\shell and 
HKCR\Drive\Background\shell\).

Is this a known bug or by design? If by design and there is no intention 
to add that feature by default, could you then at least add a switch to 
allow that optionally? Thanx.

PS: on another note, it would be nice if the context menu entries also 
had an icon. It helps a lot to spot the entry when the context menus are 
large.

I was not aware of the Drive\Background and Directory\Background keys. 
Presumably it's been added since I last looked.

I've a feeling someone submitted a patch, but I haven't looked at 
updating chere for a while.

I guess I should find some time to handle x64 and this.


Dave.

Thanks.  And once that is ready, don't forget to get yourself upload
privileges so that you can upload your package yourself:
