I like it too: Add "UAC shield icon" for programs that need UAC: Add to the Configuration Form an option to report to SyMenu to add the "UAC shield" to the program icon (as windows do).

sl23 Posts: 285 03/12/2015	sl23 Posts: 285 Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but I added an app that shows StartMenu when clicked. If that's not waht you want, then maybe KkMenu will do more. It can be set to show any number of predefined folders dynamically. ie it can show start menu folders and will show any changes made to them. You can also click on the folders within KkMenu to open that folder. It's tricky to configure til you get the hang of it though. If you need help feel free to ask.

Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 03/12/2015	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 1) Apply *.exe filter before search (make search only in *.exe files) Useful! Maybe I can add a new contextual switch, like the SY/FS, to activate this filter. It's in my TODO list now. 2) Show window start menu (currently - host programs) on top when use compact menu mode No need for this. I'm working on a better feature: you'll be able to decide for every built in item, if and where to show it. The compact menu will disappear because you'll be in charge to create your own preferred menu. In my developing version I currently have a single bar with all the elements, built-in and my custom items, inside the title bar. A super compact menu 3) Show recent used items on top when use compact menu mode Same as above. 4) When use unlinked item check, insert new option - "work directory", where program can search missing .exe for auto substitution Well it seems a lot of work for me to have a little helpful feature. In my experience the check is a rarely used option because the unlinked items are not so disturbing in SyMenu. 5) Simple run mode - run menu and exit (without hotkeys and etc) Are you speaking about a sort of safe mode? Well it's a possible future implementation. Currently you can avoid the Autoexec on start pressing SHIFT during the SyMenu start up but I will think about a more comprehensive safe mode. 6) Option for item - run as administrator You can have it with the Action modifier but don't worry it's an option that I really need for myself... sooner or later you'll have it. 7) Option - ESC key close all menus and exit SyMenu Not at all. ESC is already used to exit the contextual menu, both inside the configuration and SPS form. I don't want that a user inadvertently exits from a form because of an ESC key and much less that it shut down SyMenu. 8) Add "UAC shield icon" for programs that need UAC Possible but with a low priority.

deltaone Posts: 4 05/12/2015	deltaone Posts: 4 5) Simple run mode - run menu and exit (without hotkeys and etc) How it works: 1. Insert flash drive 2. Open flash drive 3. Runs CyMenu - appear program menu 4. Select item 5. Item start needed program 6. CyMenu automaticly closed / unloaded from memory 7. Safety remove flash drive

Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 09/12/2015	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 Why don't we think to a different approach? I mean a more general one. For example I can implement a command line switch for that particular operation. The feature allows you to directly write in the command shell something like this: d:\SyMenu>SyMenu.exe -xx"Irfanview" The result would be that the command: - opens SyMenu without autoexec on start - runs the program - exits SyMenu without autoexec on close. Naturally you can create a simple shortcut with the proper parameter to avoid the keyboard fingering. From that moment it's a simple double click matter. Why should you pass through SyMenu to execute a program? Isn't it a simple command to execute the program a more immediate means? Where is the usefulness of this approach? I can see some advantages: 1) You can execute a program only remembering its SyMenu name and not the exe name and path 2) You can execute a program that, for example, need a Java machine (read here for a simple example), without complex commands 3) You can have a smart solver for relative paths and removable unit's letters (it's SyMenu, isn't it?). Frankly, even with this extension, it doesn't seems to me a really useful feature. Anyway the discussion is open because, here, the users are in charge

Glenn Posts: 99 15/12/2015	Glenn Posts: 99 I'll guess that what deltaone meant is that he wants to see the SyMenu once, so that a command can be chosen, not known ahead of time, but that SyMenu would then exit after a single menu selection is made. This is useful when you just want to run one thing, but you don't know ahead of time which thing. So everything is configured in the SyMenu. When you need something from that flash drive, you insert it, Click on "SyMenu Once" (a shortcut that passes a command line option, say --once) and causes SyMenu to exit after one menu item is selected. If, when you plug in the flash drive, you know you need more than one thing, you click the regular SyMenu shortcut, and SyMenu stays around until you explicitly exit.
