<h2>The Context Menu</h2>
<p>
Right-clicking on a file or directory brings up a context menu, the content of which varies slightly, depending on the nature of the selected item.<br><br>
Many of its items are duplicated from the <a href="Edit.htm">Edit</a>, <a href="View.htm">View</a> and <a href="Archive.htm">Archive</a> menus, and have already been discussed there.
There may also be <a href="Open.htm">Open</a> and <a href="OpenWith.htm">Open with...</a> menu items that launch executable files, or open
them with appropriate applications.<br><br>
Since 4Pane 5.0 a fileview context menu has an addition item, 'Sort filenames ending in digits in Decimal order', that requires some explanation.
Consider a directory that contains files with names like foo1.png, foo2.png, foo11.png, foo12.png. These will normally display in a different order: 1, 11, 12, 2.
For a few such files that won't matter, but what if the directory contains hundreds of numbered photos?<br>
Clicking this item will order them in a more natural way.
Note that doing this will affect only the current fileview. Note also that it affects only files where the name <i>ends</i> in a number, not ones like f12oo.txt.
<br><br>
The last menu item, Properties, opens the <a href="Properties.htm">Properties dialog</a> with the selected item's information.
