v2.6.0

2026-08-10

New additions and improvements

  • Added built-in menu “Copy File Name”: Copy the name of the selected file, supports multiple selections
  • Added built-in menu “Paste image as PNG”: save the image in the clipboard as PNG directly to the current folder
  • Added built-in menu “Calculate total size”: counts the total space occupied by selected files/folders; progress will be displayed for large folders and can be canceled at any time
  • Added “Open each file individually” option to “Open with”: When using tools such as IDA Pro that “can only open one file at a time”, multiple selections can open multiple independent windows at once (check the “Execute” page of the menu editor)
  • The confirmation pop-up window for operations such as move/copy is clearer: it will explain the specific object and destination of “Move N items to XXX”, no longer just a general question
  • Menu Editor: After selecting a template for “New File”, the target extension will be automatically filled in, eliminating the need for manual input.
  • Menu Editor: Change the settings menu icon to a visual grid click, eliminating the need to manually enter the icon name.
  • Added “Show in Finder” option to “Copy to/Move to”: automatically highlight the result in Finder after completion (check on the “Execute” page of the menu editor)
  • When “Copy to/Move to/New File/New Folder” encounters insufficient permissions, it will ask whether to try again as an administrator: don’t bother when normal permissions are sufficient. When you encounter a protected directory, you can escalate the permissions as needed. There is no need to configure the entire menu as an administrator in advance.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the main window would pop up unexpectedly when starting up the computer
  • Fixed the issue where after canceling script execution, “Execution Completed” is still prompted and the prompt sound is played.
  • Fixed the issue where the “minimum/maximum number of selections” in the menu editor were out of focus and discarded after manual input.
  • “Copy to/Move to” automatically renames and retains both files when encountering a file with the same name (such as “File 2.ipa”). It no longer reports errors and no longer silently overwrites the original file.
  • Fixed an issue where the system notification of completion of the operation is not displayed in some cases
  • Clearer prompts when “Open with” cannot find the corresponding application
  • Fixed the issue of occasional lag when opening plug-in management

Upgrade Tips

  • The three newly added built-in menus (copy file name/paste image as PNG/calculate total size) will be added to “Menu Editor → Menu Library” and can be used by dragging them into the right-click menu as needed.
  • The Root Permission Assistant has been updated this time: users who have used the “As Administrator” function will be prompted to re-authorize for the first time after the update (enter the administrator password once)

v2.5.2

2026-07-03

Improvements

  • Redo “Restore to Default”: Now only the built-in menus are restored, the menus you added, self-built scripts, and installed plug-in menus will be retained (previously they would be cleared together)
  • Added “Reset”: right-click any built-in menu item in the menu editor to restore it to default independently without affecting other menus
  • When you right-click on an empty space on the desktop or a folder, menus such as “New Folder, New File, Open Common Directory, Copy Path” will be displayed. These menus will automatically take effect after this upgrade, and no manual settings are required.
  • Supports English interface: When the system language is English, the built-in menu names will now be displayed in English (previously, some menus still displayed Chinese), and will automatically switch with the system language.
  • Script execution result pop-up window improvement: the result content can be scrolled to view, long output will no longer be truncated and lost, and the entire content can be viewed with one click “View Complete Output”
  • Menu Editor: Added “Select App…” button to “Open with” - select an app to fill it in automatically, no need to manually remember the Bundle ID; the matching condition copy is clearer, and a “?” explanation button is added

v2.5.1

2026-06-09

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where some users (especially permanent licenses) would be repeatedly asked to reactivate
  • Fixed the problem that the menu cannot be used normally when right-clicking in synchronized folders such as iCloud disk
  • Fixed the issue where the menu does not pop up when clicking the iRightMenu Pro button in the Finder toolbar
  • Fixed the problem of creating the wrong location when “right-click on the folder → New Folder”
  • Fixed the issue where right-clicking to create a new file or creating a new folder fails when the folder path contains spaces in iCloud and other directories.

Improvements

  • The ipa re-signature plug-in adds “Remove application support device restrictions”
  • Preferences → Diagnosis Added “Export Diagnostic Log”

Upgrade instructions

  • “Right-click on the desktop or blank space to see the complete menu” will not automatically take effect for users who are already using iRightMenu Pro - the menus you have created will still be displayed according to the previous rules. To enable: Open Preferences → Menu Editor, find menus such as “New Folder”, “New File”, “Open Common Directory”, “Copy Path”, etc. In the “Matching Rules” on the right, uncheck both “Require files” and “Require folders”. New users do not need to do anything.

v2.5.0

2026-06-02

New

  • Added Ask each time mode to the menu “Execution Permissions” - when triggered, a three-button dialog box will pop up (normal user / as administrator / cancel), select according to this requirement
  • Press and hold ⌥ in the status bar menu to temporarily switch to “X as administrator”, click to execute directly as administrator (Finder right-clicking is not supported)

Improvements

  • Added “Execution permission” option to the properties panel of the plug-in menu
  • The preference setting “Diagnosis → Root Permission” displays the current assistant version number. When it expires, an orange reminder and an upgrade button are given.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed the issue where “Copy to/Move to/New File/New Folder” configured with administrator rights does not take effect -Fixed the problem that administrator rights assistant would not update automatically
  • Files created/copied/moved as an administrator are owned by you (can be edited and deleted directly in Finder)

Upgrade instructions

v2.4.0

2026-05-05

New

  • Added Add executable permission to the built-in script - add chmod +x to the selected file, suitable for command line tools or scripts downloaded from compressed packages/online

Improvements

  • The built-in scripts “Remove Quarantine Flag” and “Repair App Signature” now run with normal user rights (no longer need to enter the administrator password for the first time), and support Multi-select batch operations
  • “Fix app signature” is no longer only displayed for .app - any codesign applicable object such as .dylib / .framework / command line binary can be used
  • The “Copy Path” built-in function uses shell safe format (single quoted package path + space separated), consistent with macOS Finder option-cmd-C. Pasting into Terminal can now be used directly as a command line parameter (paths containing spaces are no longer broken); pasting into a plain text context will add quotation marks but does not affect the content

Bug fixes

  • Fixed the problem that commands such as pbcopy / osascript to control GUI App in the script menu (custom shell/python/applescript, etc.) failed silently - the previous command was “successful” but did not actually write to the clipboard/control the App. Now the user’s clipboard and GUI session can be accessed normally
  • Fixed an issue where the cursor would jump to the end when deleting characters in the middle when editing script content in the menu editor.
  • Fixed the issue where the Dock icon remains and does not disappear after closing the script error dialog box (such as IPA installation failure prompt)
  • Fixed the issue where double-clicking the .app icon did not respond after the main window was closed - the main window will now be reopened

Upgrade instructions

  • The menu library templates of the two built-in scripts “Remove Quarantine Flag” and “Fix App Signature” have been upgraded to the new version, but old menu items that have been dragged to the right-click menu will not be automatically synchronized - If you want to use the new version, please delete them in the menu editor and then re-drag them from the menu library.
  • “Add executable permission” is a new built-in script. After upgrading, old users will not automatically add it to the right-click menu** (to avoid disturbing the configured menu); it can be seen under “Menu Library → Script” on the left side of the menu editor. Drag it to the right-click menu as needed to take effect.
  • “Copy path” format changed from newline-delimited to shell-quoted - if your previous workflow relied on splitting clipboard content by line (such as pbpaste | while read line), the script needs to be adjusted accordingly

  • Fixed the problem that app.plugin.name() / app.plugin.version() / app.plugin.author() always returns nil (the plug-in name in the log will be displayed correctly instead of “Unnamed Plugin”)
  • Fixed the issue where app.api.since(path) returns "1.0.0" instead of nil for non-existing APIs (nil means “API does not exist” and is clearly distinguished from “API introduced in 1.0.0”)

Upgrade instructions
