0.1.0 beta 2

The second beta of RCConfigurator, an editor for the Windows right-click menu.

New in this beta

RCConfigurator now checks two things when it starts, and opens the editor only once both are in place:

1. Nilesoft Shell is installed. An Install… button runs winget install Nilesoft.Shell for you. If the Windows package manager is not available, it opens the download page instead.
2. Windows 11 is set to show the classic right-click menu. A Switch to it button changes that setting for your account. It takes effect when Explorer next restarts, which installing Nilesoft Shell does, as does signing out and back in. Windows 10 already uses the classic menu.

The user guide explains both steps and how to undo them.

Known limitations

• Applying rules has not been tested against a live Nilesoft Shell install. The editor, the preview and the config it writes are tested. Whether the engine reads that config exactly as intended is not. Please open an issue with what you see.
• The two set-up buttons have been checked for appearing when they should, but have not been pressed in testing.
• It was developed and tested on Windows 11 on ARM. The x64 build has only been run under emulation.
• The builds are not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn the first time you run one.
• There is no installer and no automatic update.
