18/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	First of all congratulations on your program. I tried all launchers of the market and SyMenu is the most powerful and simple. I changed all my system of handle portables to a SyMenu and so I dare to write in the forum. A little bug with UAC icon: • I use Win 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 and SyMenu 4.11.5655 and I have a little bug with the UAC icon in de "Execution in elevated mode (UAC)". I started with "SyMenu.Admin.exe" or using "Elevate SyMenu" tool, the program changes to the UAC user well but does not show the shield icon and continues offering "Elevate SyMenu" tool (although now not asking password but I guess now would have to offer "Standard SyMenu"?) Two "humble" features suggestions: • Continuing with the programs that need UAC, I have not succeeded in setting the aplication icon with the UAC shield as does the native windows. So I suggest adding to the Configuration Form an option to report to SyMenu that it's necessary to add the "UAC shield" to the program icon as windows do. • For the SyWebLink added to SyMenu: I miss the Favicons and windows description of the website. May be a button like have the Description of SyProgram to automaticaly get them? (Perhaps Wikipedia can help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon) I hope my message can help. Anyway thank you very much for your program :-). edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 18/08/2015
18/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	Thank you very much for responding so quickly. I can confirm you that the new version is clearer about the running UAC. About the shield icon, I was really talking about small icons in the menu of portable programs that need UAC (to warn before clicking as windows do) but it is a good idea to put it on the icon SyMenu. But this all does not upset much. SyMenu remains the best. edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 18/08/2015
19/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	Sorry it is not necessary (I'm happy to able to help you a little). I really do not know how Windows does (so I have suggested do it manually in the Configuration Form) but I made a screenshot show it with the "CrystalDiskInfo_Portable_sps" that needs UAC (I have attached it but I hope you can reproduced it on your computer). I'm using SyMenu v.4.12.5707 but .NET Framework 4.5.2 (ES-2015.05.03) version.4.5.51209: The shield icon does not appear in Elevate Mode as says the Item 5 of Manual (but really SyMenu works fine in UAC mode, its only "cosmetic" bug). edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 19/08/2015
20/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	No problem but the difficulty is to show all the information on the screen. 1) I opened the session Administrator Account (see green square). 2) I showed versions of programs (see yellow squares). 3) The shield does not appear in SyMenu (see red arrow). For more security I have also elevated SyMenu (SyMenu started again without prompting UAC password, confirmation that the account is UAC) with the same bug result. (Reminder: Really SyMenu works fine in UAC mode, its only "cosmetic" bug. Perhaps it may be easier to add the shield to the big floating icon and then have two ways of notice).
21/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	Only two new informations: 1) the function and the icon of READONLY works fine (for testing I had elevated SyMenu in READONLY mode but the shield icon not appears). 2) The "Configuration / Advanced Option / Menu / Show tooltip" seems does not work fine: __2.a) Activated, "CrystalDiskInfo" tooltip = 'Descrition: A disk benchmark software. Path: C:\User\...' __2.b) Desactivated, "CrystalDiskInfo" tooltip = 'A disk benchmark software.' In this case, should not SyMenu hide the tooltip box? . Thanks again for your program
25/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	I reply to your message to explain better: UAC problem There is a little problem. If you are working as administrator your programs are not automatically elevated. You only have the chance to elevate a running program. I have also elevated SyMenu and shield is not show.Indeed your SyMenu are not working in elevated mode because its shield doesn't appear and the little shield for the action modifier is not deactivated. No, SyMenu works fine in elevated mode (and in the Administrator user, too). When you elevate SyMenu, the programs who needs UAC runs without prompt the pop-up of question for password. Even with zabkat xplorer2 opens the Administrator folder (in a normal user). It's only the "cometic" bug of the shield icon. So I have two other questions for you. 1) Which level your UAC is set? Press Windows button write UAC and execute the program "Change User Account Control settings". Predeterminated: Notify always (see attach) 2) Have you already tried to execute SyMenu then go to Tools - Elevate SyMenu? I don't understand that. Yes and SyMenu works fine in elevated mode: when you elevate the programs who needs UAC runs without prompt the pop-up of question for password. Even with zabkat xplorer2 opens the Administrator folder (in a normal user). It's only the "cometic" bug of the shield icon. I think you should not worry much about this "cosmetic" bug: The user only has to remember that SyMenu is elevated because it works fine (for me it's more interesting the Favicons for Web URL) edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 25/08/2015
28/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	Thank you very much for Favicons I will install my copy SyMenu on other computers that I have Administrator rights and inform you.
30/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	More tests: I start SyMenu (No shield). Start Crystal DiskInfo and does not work (-> OK) I elevate SyMenu and I confirm that I am in UAC because Crystal DiskInfo works (-> OK) I am looking for shield icon as indicated in item 5 of the Manual on the image "ContextMenuUAC.png" and does not appear (-> NOK) See the three attached. What is common? Only the three are Win7 and Spanish.This is crazy! (After that I tried with clean copies of SyMenu. Same bad). edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 30/08/2015
31/08/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	Great hint! Finally I could see the shield! Normally I active the account "Administrador" (net user administrator /active:yes) and I use it as UAC. Elevating SyMenu as "Administrador" I do not see the shield. I have included a normal user in the administrators group and elevating with that account the shield appears. The bug occurs using the "Administrator" account. edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 31/08/2015
02/09/2015 Topic: One little bug UAC icon and "humble" features sugg VVV_Easy_Symenu	I totaly agree with your decision. For the future, I will describe how to reproduce the bug. 1) Three accounts: "UserSyMenu" -> Normal Users Group "Owner" and "Administrator" (Built-in administrator) -> Administrators Group 2) Running with "UserSymenu" (NO UAC authorization): Elevating with password "Owner" ->UAC=OK; Shield=OK (appears) Elevating with password "Administrator" -> UAC=OK, Shield=NOK (no appears) (Note: To be able to use built-in administrator account: "net user administrator /active:yes" or with "lusrmgr.msc") . edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 02/09/2015
10/09/2015 Topic: Autorun 32 or 64 bit version of app VVV_Easy_Symenu	Very useful. Thank you. Adding an example, CCleaner. I install CCleaner with SPSuite, add SyItem to SyMenuRun32or64 with parameter (copied from the original links): ".\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite\CCleaner_Portable_sps\CCleaner.exe" ".\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite\CCleaner_Portable_sps\CCleaner64.exe" "1" and I hide the two original links (I must copy one representative icon for avoid the SyMenu wipe).
18/09/2015 Topic: Some usefull Portable Apps VVV_Easy_Symenu	Hello, I do not have too much time so I could not work with SPS Builder but I would like to comment some usefull applications that use in portable mode with SyMenu and I have not found in the Suites (perhaps some write in the registry Windows file): ADDED SPS -> RouteConverter: RouteConverter is a free, user friendly GPS tool to display, edit, enrich and convert routes, tracks and waypoints. It helps me to plan routes and consolidate tracks, and I hope it could help you. (Native portable but RouteConverter has been written for Java 7 and Java 8) -> Easy and good program for edit tracks. Microsoft Image Composite Editor: Image Composite Editor (ICE) is an advanced panoramic image stitcher created by the Microsoft Research Computational Photography Group. Given a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location, the app creates a high-resolution panorama that seamlessly combines the original images. ICE can also create a panorama from a panning video, including stop-motion action overlaid on the background. Finished panoramas can be shared with friends and viewed in 3D by uploading them to the Photosynth web site. Panoramas can also be saved in a wide variety of image formats, including JPEG, TIFF, and Photoshop’s PSD/PSB format, as well as the multiresolution tiled format used by HD View and Deep Zoom. (Not native portable but easy to unzip with Universal Extractor) -> Powerful program for panoramic photos, profesional level. ADDED SPS -> FileBot: FileBot is the ultimate tool for organizing and renaming your movies, tv shows or anime, and music well as downloading subtitles and artwork. It's smart and just works. (Native portable or easy to unzip with Universal Extractor for MediaInfo and 7-Zip libraries) Woderfull program for automatic organizing and renaming your movies. ADDED SPS -> Personal Video Database: With Personal Video Database you can catalog your movie collection fast and easy. Thought-out user interface and different database management function make it easy to create and manage big movie databases. Powerful filtering, grouping and sorting help you find movies very fast. (Native portable) -> Perhaps the unique flexible program for catalog movies collection. ADDED SPS -> RenameMaster: Rename Master is a freeware utility designed to rename multiple files with a just few clicks. Anyone that has worked with websites, file archives, or collections of music, videos, or pictures has probably spent way too much time renaming hundreds of files. (Native portable) -> Powerfull and easy, very dificult to find a easy rename tool. KC Softwares: ADDED SPS -> SUMo: SUMo (Software Update Monitor) keeps your PC up-to-date & safe by using the most recent version of your favorite software ! Unlike built-in auto update features, SUMo tells you if updates are available before you need to use your software. ADDED SPS -> DUMo: DUMo (Drivers Update Monitor) keeps your PC up-to-date & safe by using the most recent version of required hardware drivers! (The Lite versión it is not native portable but easy to unzip with Universal Extractor) -> I have not found equivalent other free programs. ADDED SPS -> Remove Empty Directories (aka RED): One might think that searching and deleting empty directories is a trivial thing, but once you have hundreds of them it get’s really exhausting. That’s the reason I made RED. It’s a small and simple tool that searches and deletes empty directories recursively below a given start folder. And before deleting anything it let’s you check all empty directories it found. (Native portable) -> I have not found equivalent free program ADDED SPS -> Double Driver: Double Driver is a very simple and useful tool which not only allows you to view all the drivers installed on your system but also allows you to backup, restore, save and print all chosen drivers. (Native portable) -> I have not found equivalent free program SPS -> Changed by Registry Finder (It's better) Advanced REGEDIT: Windows registry editor with search/replace function. (Native portable) -> It just do what it said. It can import registry file. ADDED SPS -> Duplicate Cleaner: Duplicate Cleaner will deep scan for all types of files - photos, music, films, video, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, text files - you name it, if it appears twice on your computer then Duplicate Cleaner will find it. Once these files are found you are provided with helpful tools to enable you to select which copies to delete or move.These files can be deleted to the recycle bin or moved elsewhere. (The free versión it is not native portable but easy to unzip with Universal Extractor) -> Powerfull and easy, I have not found equivalent other free programs. ADDED SPS -> Creevity MP3 Cover Downloader: Easily find and add cover images (album arts) to your mp3 files. No matter to which folder you move your mp3 file, the saved cover will be always there for you. Download now the software that will simplify your life: searching and applying the covers for you with a mouse click. (Not native portable but easy to unzip with Universal Extractor) -> It just do what it said. ADDED SPS ->Wake On LAN Ex 2: Wake On LAN Ex is an application designed to be used with computers that contain network cards which are set to turn on when a "magic packet" is received. Running Wake On LAN Ex, entering the required details, and hitting Send will cause the WOL-enabled computer to turn itself on and boot as normal. Depending on its WOL abilities, the destination computer can be sleeping, hibernating, or entirely off and still be able to react to a Wake-On-LAN event. WoLEX also supports shutting down, restarting, logging-off, and hibernating the remote computer, as well as sending it administrator messages. (Native portable) -> It just do what it said with several computers. ADDED SPS -> MP3Tag: Mp3tag is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to edit metadata of audio files. It supports batch tag-editing of ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, iTunes MP4, WMA, Vorbis Comments and APE Tags for multiple files at once covering a variety of audio formats. Furthermore, it supports online database lookups from, e.g., Amazon, discogs, MusicBrainz or freedb, allowing you to automatically gather proper tags and download cover art for your music library. You can rename files based on the tag information, replace characters or words in tags and filenames, import/export tag information, create playlists and more. (Not native portable but easy to unzip with Universal Extractor) -> Very similar a TagScanner but I think easier. Just an opinion. ADDED SPS -> PSPad: PSPad is a freeware programmer's editor for Microsoft Windows operating systems. (Native portable) -> Very similar a Notepad++ but I think better with more tools. Just an opinion. edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 22/01/2016

14/11/2015 Topic: Recopilation of new features suggestions VVV_Easy_Symenu	With the idea of helping Gianluca I tried collecting new features suggestions. Be free to add any other (if it's a long subject you can summarize and put the link to the topic): For the SyWebLink add a button for automaticaly get the description of the website like explorer does when a shortcut is created on the desktop (for instance: http://www.ugmfree.it/Default.aspx -> "Home of SyMenu" or http://www.imdb.com/ -> "IMDb - Movies, TV and Celebrities - IMDb" 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). (See http://www.ugmfree.it/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=362#post923) To complement this, add a configuration option for SyMenu to hide programs that need UAC when not elevated. It could be used even with a SyContainer of Administrator tools. Useful for simplifying to the normal users. edited by VVV_Easy_Symenu on 14/11/2015

23/11/2015 Topic: Version 4.14 recopilation of Bugs & Issues VVV_Easy_Symenu	I think it is not working. I installed "FastStone Photo Resizer" then I have uninstalled, I have closed and open SyMenu: There are files in Trash and no button appears (see screenshot).
