What is new in Version 2.10
--------------------------------
Added: Support Russian language and other languages.
Added: New command 'Export To Totalcmd.inc' to create the cmd_usermenu## entries into Totalcmd.inc
file according to the Start Menu structure.
Added: Parameters list editor.
Added: New option to set the font of the command property fields to the current font settings.
Added: Press Control key while pressing Open button beside command field to browse for folder.
Added: A warning message appear when you try to add a command that already exist in your menu.

Fixed: some command refere to a folder path appear in question symbol also this folder is exist.
Fixed: if you navigate through the menu witout making any change you were asked to Save changes when exit the program.

Changed: The "Add Command" shortcut changed from [CTRL+V] to [CTRL+W] to solve the conflict with standard Paste shortcut [CTRL+V].
Changed: The "Add Separator" shortcut changed from [CTRL+H] to [CTRL+L] to solve the conflict with Text controls Backspace shortcut [CTRL+H].

I need to know your opinion about the new function "Export To Totalcmd.inc"

Important:
After exporting Start Menu to Totalcmd.inc file you will notice that when you assign a user menu (cm_usermenu##) to a toolbar button using the command text you will recieve the message "File not found." but if i use the command code number of the same command the command executed normally.
this happen espesially if the cm_usermenu## code is greater enough say 800 ~ 898
i think this is a bug in TC
Thanks

Thanks for this great tool plus Ultra TC Main Menu Editor. Now, what's left to implement is an Ultra TC Directory Hotlist Editor!

We already have a tool for the Directory Hotlist but for reasons of uniformity it would be great to have three tools from the same programmer. You may even consider a launch GUI where the user could select any of the three (currently two) applications implementing in this way a flexible integration.

PS: A fourth addition could be an INI editor. But let's be realistic since the workload would be extremely high. First things first! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your compliment.

indeed Ultra TC Directory Menu Editor is under development but it is late because i now busy in debuging the errors that users inform me they found in Main & Start menu editors.
if you return to Ultra TC Start Menu Editor screen shoot in my site or in totalcmd.net you will confirm

nice suggestion i will think but not now

do you mean an INI editor for Total Commander configuration file or for my three programs?

I had read your guide for Total Commander directory hotlist and i'm dreaming to find something like this to my Main & Start menu editors because I have a poor english and i cannot write like this.
Thank you

I mean an INI editor for TC.

Now, considering guides for your tools. Since, you know your tools better than anyone else why don't you do a draft guide for each tool and I would be more than happy to make the necessary English corrections. On the other hand though, English is not my mother language and if someone else is willing to help it would be even better.

this is out of my interest now, but who know maybe in the future

I was kidding, and i have done all the best to make my programs explain itself, and i wrote some important notes in help file for some point that need more explaination.
maybe when i finish programming the third program for Directory menu editor i found the time to compose such help files.
Thanks

Well, in that case you are free to incorporate any details from within my guide.

PS: Sorry I didn't get that joke! I did actually went through your readme files after that comment of yours and I was puzzled due to the correctiveness of the text both grammatically and instructively. But you made everything clear now!

But you made everything clear now!

i afraid you misunderstand me, when i said i'm kidding i was mean that i'm kidding from the thought you write a help file to my programs
but i was serious when i said i have poor english, it takes a lot of time to adjust the grammer and spelling, and after all that i always feel there is somthing wrong into my text, so i always explain my thought with no details.
so please forgive me if you get any other thing

When I click on the uppermost link - Main Menu - I am told that I will have to download Arabic support - Uniscribe to be able to see all chars correctly. I did not download it, but everything looks OK.

is this happened with the other two links?
But as far as every thing looks OK, Why you are confusing

1. No, the other two links were OK.
2. Well, I didn't download the Arabic support. So I thought some characters would look strange. It said "... download Uniscribe to be able to see all characters correctly." No big deal! Mildly confused only.

There is a request in the german forum for the directory hot list editor. The scenario:

A big network with many PCs and all of them should use the same directory hotlist.

I think a good workaround were the function 'save as' in your Hotlist editor or maybe better an export- import function as you have realised in History editor.

Would it be possible to implement it?

How about adding drag and drop? This is a main feature that should be there!
With drag&drop anyone would edit the start menu very fast and easily.
