RADIAL MENU scripts - migrated to new forum
I have not had a chance to try making context sensitive menus yet, but I will soon. It's an excellent feature.
This has become an indispensable piece of software for my daily home and work computing needs. And it keeps getting better!

I don't understand well enough your suggestion what should Cmd button do. Can you explain it a little bit better?Open a window with a text box to enter the name, a text box to type the program name/where you can drag and drop programs to make so that will open it. You can do the same with images.
Thanks, I'll think about it.Please set up a Paypal donation account so we can give you money.
Open RM\Internal\Codes\RMD classes.ahk. Go to line 1683, there you'll find this:This replaces the %A_UserName% with the username itself instead of keeping it a variable ...
static List := "A_ScriptDir|A_AhkPath|A_Temp|A_WinDir|A_ProgramFiles|A_AppData|A_Desktop|A_StartMenu|A_Programs|A_Startup|A_AppDataCommon|A_DesktopCommon|A_StartMenuCommon|A_ProgramsCommon|A_StartupCommon|A_MyDocuments"replace it with this:
static List := "A_ScriptDir|A_AhkPath|A_Temp|A_WinDir|A_ProgramFiles|A_AppData|A_Desktop|A_StartMenu|A_Programs|A_Startup|A_AppDataCommon|A_DesktopCommon|A_StartMenuCommon|A_ProgramsCommon|A_StartupCommon|A_MyDocuments|A_UserName"save changes, run RMD, and report does it work (it will).
I guess you are talking about case when you drag file with .exe extension on menu or clipboard while you are in graphics view mode. If so, there's explanation in RMD's "About" and in Description section in RMD.ahkwhen i drag stuff from explorer it doesnt create anything
If you are talking about some other case, please explain.Extracting icons from .exe files.
If file you dragged on menu or clipboard has .exe extension, its icon will be extracted to Icons folder, and displayed in menu. But for some .exe files, this doesn't work properly - empty icon is extracted and displayed. Improving this is out of my skills, but maybe Tic (GDI+ library author) or somebody else could improve Gdip_CreateBitmapFromFile() function which is responsible for this. Until than, you can use freeware program IcoFX (<!-- m -->http://icofx.ro<!-- m -->) to extract icon you want.
I could drag a shortcut into a textbox to make it
action=firefox.exe
Or I could just type it out.
And you would do that same with images, only with it changing icon=
Love the RMD!
I'd like to have a button (maybe Cmd) to start up the next item so you don't have to go into notepad and add a blank.
However no matter what i drag there it .exe .pptx .txt it doesnt update anything
If I run it on linux from a usb stick, do you think it would work?
This would be useful when one has a new function or particular item action that one is tinkering with and adusting. It would also be useful when one is tinkering with RMApp lib.ahk and is testing the result on various item actions, and then adjusting the item action and testing again. (For example, I have tinkered with RMApp lib so that it would have Total Commander or FreeCommander, rather than Windows Explorer, open under most circumstances.)
Thanks,
Lance

It never was. Here are the rules;After the update it seems like it doesn't equate RM\ to %A_ScriptDir%\ when using the My hotkeys.ahk
- String RM\ is automatically replaced with folder in which RM is located only in menu definition files (.txt)
- Variable RM is equal to %A_ScriptDir% only in My radial menus.ahk (not in other files in My codes folder and Radial menu.ahk)
But if you would like to have variable RM equal to %A_ScriptDir% in all files located in My codes folder and Radial menu.ahk, all you have to do is to put RM := A_ScriptDir one line above RMApp_AutoExecute() in Radial menu.ahk.
Maybe I don't understand you well, but if you want to add blank item, click in the center of menu and drag it to position you want - as demonstrated in quick tutorial video.I'd like to have a button (maybe Cmd) to start up the next item so you don't have to go into notepad and add a blank.
Hmm, that's strange - it works for me and others too. You'll have to answer a few questions;no matter what i drag there it .exe .pptx .txt it doesnt update anything
- What OS are you using?
- Are you dragging files from Windows Explorer or Desktop to RMD (while in graphics view)?
- Run code below and drag files on GUI. Does MsgBox show full path of file you dragged on GUI?
Gui, 1:+AlwaysOnTop Gui, 1:Add, Text, x5 y5 w150 h100, Drag file here Gui, 1:Show, w160 h110, Test return GuiClose: ExitApp GuiDropFiles: Gui, 1:+OwnDialogs StringSplit, File, A_GuiEvent, `n ; operate just on File1 MsgBox, %File1% return
Yes, of course.This can be run off a USB stick...
I never tried that, but it wouldn't work on Linux because AutoHotkey is made for and works on Windows.If I run it on linux from a usb stick, do you think it would work?
I don't have any experience with multiple monitors, so unfortunately, I can't give you ready solution. But if AutoHotKey_L can do what you want, Radial menu can do it too - items in RM are like (graphical) hotkeys in AHK.I have a question about use on multiple monitors. It would be nice if possible for items launched via Radial Menu to launch on the monitor that Radial Menu is accessed from. I don't know if this is in any way possible since I imagine AutoHotKey appears to use Shell to launch apps but if it is, I think it would be a great enhancement.
Fortunately, it wasn't too hard to modify codes, so now I have all of them working on AutoHotkey_L 1.1.04.00. Updates will be released soon.
yes it shows c:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe when i run that code
it shows the full path for everything i drop in there
also once radial menu is running i lose the functionality to shift right click any icon and run as DIFFERENT USER which is essential for my job ;(
Unfortunately, I don't have Win7 so I can't test RMD there... I tested it on WinXP and Vista, and it works fine. Nobody reported problems on Win7 so far...using windows 7 OS 64 bit
@all: Has anybody except mhindman tested Radial menu designer (RMD) on Windows 7? Does it work fine or not?
Shift + right click should work normally... Maybe there is collision between RM and some other program/script that are using RButton hotkey at the same time? All I can do for now is to suggest you to change RMShowHotkey in General settings.also once radial menu is running i lose the functionality to shift right click any icon and run as DIFFERENT USER which is essential for my job ;(
Whem RM is running that is not in the list...
