Does the option show in Windows File explorer?

Also can you please upload (Do not copy and paste content) the debug.log file directly to GitHub (email attachments don't work) . You can get it in Files settings > About > Open log folder.

The option does show up in Windows File Explorer

I found old (solved) bugs about the same thing:

• 8100
• 8603
• 10939

They were for older version of Files. The way it work has change a lot since then

The open in Terminal option is added by Windows Terminal as a shell extension and we don't have control over when it shows, we do however have a keyboard shortcut ctrl + ` that'll open the folder in Terminal.

[AlexNakamuraDF]

Thanks! That solves my problem, although I found out there's another bug where that shortcut doesn't work if there are spaces in the current path. I've made another bug report 11555

Out of curiosity, does that mean that the git and VS Code options that do appear in the context menu are explicitly supported by Files?

[yaira2]

Git and VS Code register shell extensions as well, Windows Terminal sometimes shows up but it's inconsistent. It might have something to do with the way they register the extension.

Good to know, thank you!
