Customize / Context Menus is greyed out

When I have thumbnails that I want to use, I'd like to be able to Right-click and Copy.  Currently there is no such option and I am assuming the customize tab 'Menu' would allow that under 'Context Menus'.  I see no reference to this is the manual or online, and the 'Select context menu:' option is greyed out.  Have I again missed something obvious or is this to be expanded on in future releases?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
 
Please provide this additional data: 
Exact HyperSnap version in use (from Help/About menu): 7.12.01
Windows version in use: 7 sp1

    Hm, no, I don't have customization of context menus. Actually to copy an image from the tumbnail would require two clicks - first right-click, then move the mouse on the "Copy" item and left click. The same amount of work is needed for the regular protocol - left click a thumbnail to make HyperSnap display this image in the current big window space, then move the mouse and click the "Copy" button e.g. in the title bar ("quick access" bar) or any other toolbar you have visible. So I'm not sure if adding this option to the context menu would be worth the effort...

    You make a good point but overlook that 'right-click' and 'select' - two clicks indeed - is such a common way to action things it makes sense to have it but also, especially when selecting a thumbnail from the bottom of the list, it means moving the hand and mouse up the screen to the copy button on the Edit tab.  And that is assuming that the Edit tab is active.  Of course, I have no idea what is required to make right-click menus have actions but I'd say it was worth it.  But then, I would

    Will consider this for future updates of HyperSnap 7, thank you. You don't need Edit tab active to click "Copy" button, it's also available, at least in the default configuration, at the "quick access" toolbar, which is the row of buttons in the title bar of HyperSnap 7 window, or it may be configured to display as a separate horizontal toolbar below the ribbon.

    I've just updated and the right-click/copy functionality is there!  Brilliantly fast, thank you.  And for listening.  You are a rarity amongst developers. I am (and hopefully others) most appreciative.
