1 & 3. Thank you for support and clarifications! it is useful!

2. At your discretion, if nobody complains more leave as is. I can live with this - my temp folder is cleaned automatically upon PC shutdown.

WBR, Ovg

I have found issue with WIN-F4 (when assigned to Bacground menu) - when I press WIN-F4 I get both action together - file is opened in appropriate editor and background menu also is working - I can open the same file in other editor.

ESC-F4 working fine.

@Ovg: you're right I can reproduce it here, I'll look into it.

Can it accept multiple files in the command line? For examplle, start Meld with

Code: Select all

meld file1 file2

(Sorry for posting on GitHub as well…)

[hi5]

@Roo no problem. Not directly, but see my response at GH for some alternate solutions for the time being.

Edit 12/12/16 - so I will be adding a 4th method (cmdline) and also Allow TC parameters in F4MM config (parameters, working dir) - further suggestions remain welcome of course (here or at GH)

[hi5]

For the adventurous there is a development branch available for v0.94 - https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/tree/dev-method4cmdline

It would be advised to back up you current version and settings before trying this or run this dev branch from a new folder just to be save.

INI users If you want to use the INI format format for storing your settings: F4MiniMenuI.ahk has been removed, you now need to copy/rename F4MiniMenu.ahk manually so the filename ends with an i - see the readme.md for details.

New

• a) Added 4th method: cmdline -> program.exe file1 file2 file3 #14 https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/issues/14
• b) Accept TC Fields %P %T %O %E and ? in Parameters and Startdir. Introduced %f41. #15 https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/issues/15
• c) Build foreground menu only once vs delete/recreate (updating menu only after editing editors). Refactored menu code.
• d) Now use %TEMP%\$$f4mtmplist$$.m3u instead of ScriptFolder - requested by Ovg - #16 https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/issues/16
• e) Fixed hotkeys - #12 https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/issues/12
• f) You can now specify an Icon and Menu name when you configure an Editor. #17 https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/issues/17
• g) %Commander_Path% now accepted in Editor and Icon paths.
• h) Removed F4MiniMenui.ahk - to use INI simply rename/copy the (compiled) script to end with "i".

Icon and name of editor in Menu aren't saving in ini version of program. They disappear on program restart There are no parameters in ini file for them. XML version is working - those settings are saving.

@Ovg - good catch, the changes to IOB where missing from the development branch on GH - you can download the entire repo again or just this file:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/dev-method4cmdline/lib/iob.ahk

(place it in lib\iob.ahk and overwrite the file that is there)

Thanks! It is working now! Excellent job!!!

[hi5]

Dev branch update to v0.94a
- Minor fix for launching via Drag&Drop which stopped working correctly in v0.94
- When entering a name you can now set your own "accelerator key" so you can enter "Note&pad plus plus" and have the letter p as "active" letter in the menu (by default it would just make the first letter of the executable name or entered name "active")

Download the zip here, you can overwrite your current (dev) files.

[hi5]

Merged development branch into master, minor update to v0.94b to ensure the Commander_Path variable is not empty.

Clone or Download the Repo or ZIP from https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/ as usual.
