Beta 2 says
Fixed: New OPENBARMENU command now works properly on a button in the button bar: Show popup overlay icon, open bar below the button (32/64)
This doesn't work here.
It always opens over the far left button on the button bar.

Cannot reproduce, it opens under the button with the command.
More info needed.

I made a button with OPENBARMENU in my main button bar.
Tested with %P%N or the full path to a bar file in the parameter field.
Regardless of the postion of this button the pop-down buttobar always opens over the far left side of the main button bar.

I found that it works when I add the full or relative path to a bar file as parameter in the command field.

Same thing I mentioned here: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=430808#p430808

That's the problem, it is currently only handled by the button itself when the .bar name is in the command field.
Otherwise it has to be passed to the more complex function which handles parameters like %P%N and doesn't know from where it was called (button, hotkey, start menu, internal association etc).

Confirmed. No matter where the OPENBARMENU command is triggered, the menu opens in the upper left corner of the TC-window.

Did you put the name of the bar in the parameters field? This will have the described effect. Please try putting it in the command field.

Can you at least implement support for "%O.bar"?

Yes please (as also mentioned here: viewtopic.php?p=430965#p430965 )

The name is in the command field. The menu is always opened in the top left corner.

Make sure thet there is ONLY ONE space character between OPENBARMENU and the file name, and that there is NO space character behind the file name.

There is only one space-character between OPENBARMENU and the filename and there is no space-character behind the filename.
Now the menu is opened on the far right side if I trigger the command by the starter menu (but the starter menu is arranged on the left side), but correctly below a button.

Anyway ... if it is opened by a button I do not see any difference between OPENBARMENU and a linked buttonbar to a button in the old-fashioned way.

Still I do not understand what OPENBARMENU is intended to be used for...

For example, you can have project specific buttonbars in several dirs
and you still need only one button in your main buttonbar.

OK, that's an interesting approach....

14.05.23 Fixed: OPENBARMENU now also works when the bar file is set via "Parameters" field of the button bar: Overlay icon, changed linked bar via right click, open bar at button position (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.00b3
