Merging PStart menu XML file into TC's Start Menu

[risk]

I have a bunch of portable apps and tools on my HDD and I'm using PStart as an application launcher for them.

Since I'm spending a lot of time in TC, I thought it would be a good idea to start building and using TC's Start menu. However, instead of building this menu from scratch, I wonder if there's a way to leverage the XML file from PStart!

Parsing and rewriting using AHK is a thought but I was hoping that there's a quicker way or a tool exists that would do the conversion.

Thanks.

No. I would use perl, but AHK should be about as good for this task.

Hello you all!

After 14 years from first post, I run into the same need: conversion from lot of Pstart menu item (Pstart.xml) to Total Commander start menu
([user] menu section in wincmd.ini) .

Is there such conversion tool now in 2023?

You can just us any scripting language you have, or AutoHotkey.

"wincmd.ini > [user]" syntax is like this:
menu1=<Description, needed>
cmd1=<Command, needed>
param1=<Parameter, IF need>
path1=<Start path, IF need, default to current active panel>

menu2=<Description, needed>
cmd2=<Command, needed>

menu3=<Description, needed>
cmd3=<Command, needed>
param3=<Parameter, IF need>



Now post a few examples of your Pstart.xml and maybe
somebody will get you started (some like to do this in his lunch break)
