what is the difference between New File Menu and Context Menu ?
Hi, New File Menu is for creating files, but Context Menu is for people who needs more advanced features. Thank you!
Context Menu stopped working when I upgraded Catalina to Big Sur (MacOS 11.0). When I click on a menu item (e.g. Emacs), I receive the following error:
Error lunching application! The application “Emacs.app” could not be lunched because a miscellaneous error occured.
I discovered that if I remove the Context Menu app from my Mac computer and then reinstall it, then it works properly in MacOS 11 (Big Sur).
