FreeCommander Forum

Is a native 64-bit version being worked on?
The reason is the 32 bit version seems to use a bit of a hack to show the 64-bit context menu. This causes a annoying delay and change of mouse cursor to a waiting cursor while it loads the app FcContextMenu64.exe

If I hold down windows key or set it to 32 bit context menu in the ini file the response is instant.

The 64-bit menu just flash and disappear on my win7. I can't use it at all.

Hope there will be a native 64-bit version of Freecommander.

Thanks.

I think it is a good news http://embarcadero.com/products/delphi/64-bit.

There's also another advantage of a native 64 bit version: the 32 bit version can only "see" the 32 bit versions of files, in the system folders.

same here, RMB context menu takes some seconds to show up, often FcContextMenu64 even crashes on my machine.
apparently FcContextMenu64 was written in C# because Delphi does not support 64Bit yet.
32 Bit Context Menu is fast but unfortunately the 7 Zip Entry is missing there.

Kind Regards
