Just a tiny suggestion

First of all, this thing is really cool - thanks for the very good work.
I have a shortcut placed on a mouse button, which starts the SyMenu. One thing that's missing for me is that I can't close it with the same key, if I raised it by mistake and the SyMenu lost focus. In this case I have to click something in SyMenu that doesn't respond (the title) and after that I can use the "open" hotkey to send it back to the tray.
This is a bit annoying while rest is very intuitive and fast.
Maybe you could make the hotkey-switch work system-wide in one of the next versions?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Gianluca,
thanks for your immediate response.
The point is, that after SyMenu has lost its focus, it really sticks somewhere on top of the screen. So I have to call it once more (if I don't want to move there across a big screen, oh btw, I'm raising it at the mouse position) to click in it and then press ESC to get rid of it.
SyMenu is really fast to work with, but if it's there and I don't really need it, it's a bit inconvenient to get it back to the tray.
Why shoudn't the hotkey work like an on/off switch (like the windows key), if it's already an on-switch?
But I understand your point, so maybe you could consider to implement both behaviours selectable in the config area?
Anyway, with or without this feature it's the best program launcher around, not only for sticks! |

Feature Request - Run As Administrator

Hi Gianluca,
I think d4n93rm0u53 is right. The point is, that even if you are logged in as an administrator, you don't have the full administrator rights for certain programs. (I have a few tools of this kind as well, which I can't run with SyMenu.)
For such programs there is the Run As Administrator option. From my point of view, this is a feature for your todo list ;-) |

Hi Gianluca,
I'm not sure, when exactly my switching problem ended but now it's gone and I can switch SyMenu on and off with the same hotkey.
Was it just my recent upgrade to Win7 or was it a SyMenu upgrade that made me happy?
Thank you very much!
BTW - I have a another suggestion: I'm using quite a few hotkeys now and it would be nice to see them in the menu. If the menu became cluttered by this, a tooltip (maybe with some more information about the highlighted program) would do the job for me. Again - no "must have" for this excellent launcher, just something for you to consider. |

Hi Gianluca,
I don't think it's necessary to store any credentials. Many Win7 users are logged in as adminstrators but don't disable UAC completely. If you call a programm needing full administrator rights you are prompted (on the lowest level of UAC) if you really want to allow this program to start and maybe do something harmful to your system. If you agree, the programm will start, otherwise it won't. The respective behaviour depends on the UAC settings and this is what Microsoft wants.
But if I start the same program from SyMenu, the system just says "You need higher rights to do that" (in german, don't know the english message) and nothing else happens - and yes, I'm already logged in as an administrator.
So I guess, something is lacking in the SyMenu call of programs that need to be "Run As Administrator". I know there are some howtos on the internet about how to "elevate UAC rights" e.g. for scripts in Vista and Win7.
Hope this helps. |

New 1.13 version is finally out

Thanks Gianluca for keeping up the excellent work.
Your new project looks pretty interesting. My best wishes for that. I agree with the others that the very clean approach of SyMenu shouldn't be destroyed by advertising in the menu. But it's your own software and many here are glad to use it for free. So why not link (and explain) your ghezee for instance next to the donate-button (and elsewhere in the config area)? And of course in your forum! All that wouldn't spoil the picture and I'm always interested in other products/services of people doing a good job!
Best regards from Germany! |

Okay, thanks a lot.
But again, I don't mind if you add some links or information about your other projects. Only the main menu wasn't the best place to do that. Just my 2 cents. |
