Feature Request - Use Shortcut Name when Dragging

Hi Gianluca, Great Menu System!
I suggest that when dragging in a shortcut ... that you use the "Shortcut Name" vs. the "program name" ... I believe it will save a lot of time for people when they are migrating over from other menu systems ... and it will also save time when adding individual apps.
Usually after a program is installed on your computer you end up with a Shortcut with a nice name, but the program name is only a short name that is not as easily understood.
Example: Shortcut name (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware), program name (mbam)
Thank you!

Hi Gianluca,
I suggest that you change the location/position of the "Tools" menu item ... move it to just before "Exit"
That way SyMenu will be more intuitively used. Right now when using, your eyes have to constantly skip over the "Tools" item. "Tools" is for setup only, not during normal use of SyMenu.
Thank you!

@ineedh3lp, What you need is a hot key for "Configuration" ... with you spending so much time there!

Yes, I have hundreds configured in SyMenu.
I have tried leaving just the SyMenuItem.xml file in the Config folder, but SyMenu ignores it and creates a new SyMenuItem.zip with no items. Would be great if you could program the application to read either zip or xml (with priority set on one of them). That way people who like the speed of zip can use zip and those who need the benefit of direct editing can keep it in xml.
Of course, it is not hard to unzip, edit and rezip, the issue is that I'm doing it quite often, and I rely on some utilities I created to automatically change the SyMenu configuration. Also, having SyMenu on a SSD or RAM Disk doesn't pose a reading speed issue : D
@ineedh3lp,
I believe that if Gianluca does something with this, his time would be best well used by creating an import/export function for "SyMenuItem".
That way it can always be at the speed of a Zip file. You can have a way of getting menu items in & out. And everyone can have a way of doing the same thing. It seems like a better progression to me ... even if you have to do things a little different, it is better for all.

I think you are right. If the shortcut links to a program, why have I to add to SyMenu the shortcut? It's more correct to add the program. In that way SyMenu will be able to add its icon too.
Gianluca,
Are you going to be making this enhancement? This is the hardest part for me to deal with right now ... and would be the biggest productivity gain!
Thank you, JC |
