Please, please, please move the "Reset" button as far away from the "save" button as possible!!!! And/or maybe even a check box next to the reset button so that it cannot accidentally be pressed while trying to save!
Possible make a "backup" option to backup the MenuItem.xml file just in case! |

Thanks Gianluca,
I am the same person that you've been talking to via e-mail about graphics.
Actually just moving the reset button below the two save buttons should be sufficient in my opinion.
See, I dragged and dropped my programs to SyMenu and let them be auto-named. I 'Save & Exit' then Later I went back to rename them to their full titles. Every couple dozen renames I would save. At least twice I hit the Reset button on accident and had to redo alot of work.
As far as the backup, no worries. I manually back up my xml every so often. I just thought you were looking for features to add that would be nice.
I sent you an email with a splashscreen, let me know what you think. |

A little shaky at 40 megs of ram
CompFX

I have 3.5 gigs of ram with 2x 3.8 Ghz processors and symenu acts up (extension manager - just a little bit) when it uses about 40 megs of ram just at idle. When Im adding a lot of stuff to the menu via drag and drop, it will use around 90 megs or so. But as soon as I close the menu editor, it will drop down to about 40 megs again.
I am probably pushing this menu to its limits, definitely more so than a "normal" user, but I just thought I should mention it.
Programs: 418 Commands: 0 Documents: 68 Web Links: 3 Folder Links: 4
I had extension manager enabled (cool feature by the way). I would open a zip file. SyMenu would kill the hosts app and open the zip from the program on my jumpdrive. The more apps I keep adding, the slower this feature responds. I opened the menu, went to options and clicked the "disabled the extension manager" button. Went back and opened another zip, and SyMenu still took it over. Checked the menu link and it said "Enable Extension manager" which means that extension manager IS disabled. Tried to open zip again, same thing, SyMenu took it over. I had to open the Menu Manager, go to Configurations, Select Options, and uncheck the box in order for SyMenu to stop taking over.
I doubt anybody other than myself would carry this many apps on a jumpdrive, but I just thought I would mention it.

No worries and no arguments
Yes, this jumpdrive is EXTREME!! I am a computer tech and have to perform many services. Not only does this jump drive boot computers, but it also runs many live operating systems off of it. Windows PE, Bart PE, Winows XP, Windows 98, 5 different distros of Linux all boot and run off the jumpdrive. And dozens of "boot level" applications and tools. It has taken almost a year to perfect this jumpdrive...
Anyways; My system only uses 1.5 of the 3.5 gigs of ram. So 100 megs for SyMenu iis no big deal.
I just figured I would let you know what happens when a geek loads alot of stuff on the menu and has custom Icons for just about all of them
Im not sure if it makes a difference, but my programs do not use the supplied folders. I "installed" SyMenu into a preexisting environment, so When I "Installed" SyMenu it had ProgramsFiles, Profiles, Language folders all of which I deleted. I only speak english, so all the language files are not needed, I already had a 'programs' folder, and I have no idea what the 'profiles' folder is for. It seems that SyMenu just links to a program anyways ways so this should have no bearing on its operation, but again, I just thought I should mention it. |
