[Feature Request] Support Windows shell context menu extensions on folder background right-click #619

Description

@Hoysing

Currently, right-clicking on empty space inside a folder only shows built-in options. It does not include any third-party shell extensions registered in Windows, such as:

• Open in Windows Terminal

• Git Bash Here

• Open with VS Code

• 7-Zip extract options

• etc.

These extensions work perfectly in the native Windows File Explorer but are completely missing here. This forces users to switch back to the default explorer for common tasks.

Expected behavior: The folder background context menu should integrate all system-registered shell extensions, matching the behavior of Windows File Explorer.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install tools like Git for Windows, Windows Terminal, or VS Code.
  2. Open this file manager and navigate to any folder.
  3. Right-click on blank space → only project-defined items appear.
  4. Compare with Windows Explorer → third-party items are present.
