Hi.
I'm working on a new version to implement a great feature: the completely customizable menu. When this version is released you'll be able to decide which elements to include in your menu and in which position. Naturally the current normal and compact menu will disappear because they are only two of the multiple configuration. I think this is the first breaking changes in all the SyMenu history.
Since this implementation is really complex I decided to release a public beta if someone wants to test it. I'm not for the public beta versions, I think they are useless because people download them to use them and not to test them, but I could make a mistake so I'm ready to be disproved.
Don't use this version as your main one because it is really buggy and you can easily lose your configuration. If you mess your menu and SyMenu doesn't load anymore or has some problems, you can reload the program with a particular command line argument (-msnormal) that reset your menu to the base one.
There are other main new features:
- The file flag READONLY can be ineffective for a certain PC if the file name is followed by a dot and the machine name. For example READONLY.Mercury file makes SyMenu runs in readonly mode for every machine except for the PC called Mercury;
- The contextual menus scrollable buttons are now bigger to simplify the use on touch screen devices.
Here is the download link. Let me know. [updated]
2015.12.17 Second beta version With this second version I solved various bugs besides implementing some minor features:
- There is a new option to show the contextual menu on start button mouse hover
- I fix a memory leak when thousands of elements are added
- The shortcuts to make the search bar appear and to change the current action modifier work only if the menu structure includes the corresponding element
[updated]
2015.12.23 Third beta version Other bugs solved and some new features:
- The title element in the contextual menu can contain child elements, it's more similar to the old compact menu (R.I.P.)
- There is a new command line for user custom variables. The new flag is -cv (custom variable) followed from a key=value structure. The -cv flag could recur multiple times. Some examples here: -cvfoo1=text -cv%foo2%=text -cv"foo3=text" -cv"%foo foo 4%"=text -cv"%foo foo 5%=text text"
- I introduced a new element in contextual menu to directly go to SyMenu options
