# Mp3tag v3.11 released
I had my birthday last week and spent the day outside in surprisingly warm and sunny autumnal nature π β What a beautiful present!
As a present for you, I've just released Mp3tag v3.11 and wanted to outline some of the new features and changes:
### Cover preview on the Tag Panel
It can be difficult to inspect the quality and details of the embedded cover directly
from the cover window of the Tag Panel. To alleviate this, I've added a larger cover preview
available via double click on the cover on the Tag Panel.
### Icon in Windows Explorer context menu
A long-standing feature wish for many: Mp3tag's Explorer context-menu entry now has an icon and is easier to recognize.
### Windows 11 context menu
The new Windows 11 Explorer context menu caught many by surprise. Existing context menu extensions were only available via a _Show more options..._ entry, which meant an extra indirection to something that's supposed to speed up interaction.
I've now implemented all the extra steps that are necessary to appear in the top-level context menu and things should be back to comfortable again.

Hi, Florian, happy birthday and many more to come.
I would like to post an issue I am having with v 3.11. Mp3tag is no longer available in the context menu. I am using Directory Opus as my main file browser instead of WIndows Explorer. Don't want to go back to 3.08 as I am hoping it will be fixed.

Sent you a tiny gift. If I ever make it big, I will become a patron. Thanks so much for being the type of developer of which this world needs more! π

Is it showing in Windows Explorer? Because that's the main idea of the Explorer Shell Extension π
If Opus is showing the extension of the previous version, you could try this from a command prompt **with administrative** rights
```plaintext
cd
regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll
```

Thanx Florian!
Now I can upgrade to 3.11.
The absence in the context menu in Directory Opus I could not accept and had gone back to 3.10.

Kannst du bitte die alte Mac Version zum Download noch bereitstellen? Habe die neue Version zwar gekauft, aber Sie ist ohne WebSources Script fΓΌr WSI einfach wertlos.
DANKE!
