Thanks for the blessings
I really appricate your feedback
16x16 icons
I already created this, not 16x16 but arbitrary icon size per item and menu configuration. The problem here is that there is a problem with message handling in AHK so I can't release my work yet as menu is bugy when opening submenus with right arrow (randomly). Chris confirmed this is AHK issue and did some testing to help me. Maybe we will have something in the future. In the meantime I proposed alternative solution for standard icons in menus witch is easy to implement but this time, Chris doesn't think it is prioroity. It can be done in single day. I posted him working AHK version.
The screenshot presents original work, higly flexibile and conifgurable. I created it as a replacement for internal Menu command, so if smb helps me, entire commuinity will benefit. This funny menu is just presentation of features. One power user here told me "is it the menu for the games ?" but the truth is that it can look as simple as current AHK menus, or as advanced as screenshot where every item is configurable per se with extremely simple syntax:
-ctrl+click = subfolders of current menu item
I already did this to. Submenus can be open as menu items. This is also implemented in my Menu replacement command witch doesn't block the script (contrary to AHK Menu witch pauses script until you select something). Solution like the one used by
rexx in his script is not good for me. I created it so the submenu ACTS like submenu on single click and like menu item on ctrl click.
Other then that, rexx's script is not the same type of the proram as this, as it is simple launcher. Favmenu's launcher is secundary functionality. The first is that it allows you to switch to your folders in any system supported dialogs you find yourself. The true benefit is when using with Total Commander as currently open folders there will be shown as first 2 items (notice 1 & 2 on screenshots at first page) and u can use its plugins to jump to clipboard, registry or whatsoever. There is also important thing of PseudoVariables that you can use to create portable menus that you can put on the stick and cary with you, and your menus will work on every computer.
-Support for more applications (such as 7zfm, winrar, filezilla...etc.).
Favmenu is modular in design. Adding new appliactions is peace of a cake.
New menu also brings smart refreshing (instant menus, not rebuilded every time). So you can have extremely large menus and still have 0 time response, unlike now. And ofc, menu breaks, menu monitoring (for innstance to set toolitps while mouse is over), item right click handlers, named separators and much more, far more advanced then simple Menu command currently in AHK. I am also investigating how to pin it to desktop so menu is not closed when you select something. I am examing if this is possible in Win SDK menu architecthure. Currently examing beautiful menus of bbLean open source shell replacement for WIndows based on Linux BlackBox shell witch has just that option.
So, the only thing that has to be done is ither someone helps me for workarounds of AHK limitations with message handling (I already asked some power users from the forum, by they refused
), or Chris rising priority for new Menu command.
Thank you.
PS: I am thinking more or less to abandon the project in AHK and rewrite it in C. Don't know if I will find time for this. AHK proved not capable for advanced things such as this, and without support from the author I can't do much. I also hesistate as the new Menu has only that small bug and otherwise is entirely over.
