Currently, the apps are installed under <SyMenu_base_folder>\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite - Can I simplify it to be <SyMenu_base_folder>\Apps
One way would be junctions, but if program allowed to choose it, that will be wonderful |

Thanks GIanluca. It wasn't the 260 char limit that bothered me, but having to navigate deeper. With SysInternals and NirSUite now being moved away into the Main Suite, I thought the main suite apps can be promoted.
I understand this can create backward compatibility issues. WOuld you be OK to introduce one more command line arg for the main suite apps i.e; the SyMenuSuite folder. If not, no problems as I use junctions. I'll create <SyMenu_base_folder>\Apps as main folder and create SyMenuSuite as a junction inside <SyMenu_base_folder>\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\
The only thing I'll need to remember is not to follow junction during backups
On a side note, really liked the auto start feature. I use SyMenu from a single PC but prefer portability. I have configured only SyMenu to start with Windows and others to startup from within SyMenu |

I use SyMenu but not only SyMenu . Navigation is a problem from other places.
Junctions is working fine. Thanks for considering adding the argument. Will look forward to it.

Feature request - Hide unwanted apps

Hi,
Can you please add a feature to hide some apps which users won't be interested in.
Example - Users would want to hide x86 apps when x64 is installed. Users may want to hide softwares which have been abandoned or simply not interested in.
I would imagine this as an additional column Hide in the Get New Apps window. Users would check it to a hide an app and whenever the window is opened next, it will show only those apps which don't have this tick box checked. There can be a button to Show/Hide hidden apps.

I didn't ask for automated hiding here. A user would himself mark as not interested
Examples: Not interested in seeing Q-Dir x86 as already installed x64 Not interested in ZSoft Uninstaller as its not updated since 2010 Not interested in Y for xxx reason
This will all be manual filter.
Again, I don't intend that to go and hide each and every application that I don't plan to install currently, but if there is something obvious that I would never want to install, it would be good to hide it someway. |

Thansk for adding the parameter, but it doesn't do much to get rid of some nesting
Basically it only redefined <SyMenu_base_folder>\ProgramFiles\ - It still forces SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite after the redefined Programs folder. I was expecting, it would allow all my programs to be present inside <SyMenu_base_folder>\Apps .
Anyway, I can rid of SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite apart from Junctions please |
