FavMenu
& Menu Editor
for
Windows XP & 2K
OVERVIEW
FavMenu
is Windows OS enhancer and application launcher. It stores information about
your favorite folders and executables and let you quickly use your favorites
within
system dialogs (Open/Save, Browse For Folder, Office2003 dialogs), Console
(cmd.exe), Widows Explorer and Total Commander.
Format
of the menu configuration file is compatibile with the Total Commander file
manager directory menu, and was originaly written to work as addon for
this file manager. All features of the TC directory menu are supported,
including plugins and pseudovariables. Furthermore, TC doesn’t need to be
started.
Menu
Editor can be used to create, edit, delete and organise menu items. This is also
complete replacement of TC’s internal directory menu editor witch adds
many new options. It can be used together with FavMenu or separate.
Both
programs use the same ini file to store configuration, Config.ini.
INSTALLATION
You
can run applications either by starting .exe
or .ahk files. To run .ahk, you must have <a
href="http://www.autohotkey.com/">AutoHotKey</a> installed.
If
you choose to run exe versions you can safely delete *.ahk files and \include
folder.
If
you want Total Commander executable and its configuration file wincmd.ini to be
automaticaly recognised start FavMenu from within TC (not required if you
installed TC normally or you have COMMANDER_PATH environment variable set in
the system).
Make
sure you have something in the TC directory menu before start using the program.
-
Favmenu supports several types of menu items. Possible menu items are ( full

-
CTRL + Enter (on menu item)
Open
Properties dialog with selected item. Move around with buttons. You can change
title, command and set icon. Press Save on every individual item to save
changes (title will change to notify you that save is complete). It is much
faster to use this dialog then TC's editor for single item change.
If
Properties dialog is open you can use Favmenu to change the currently displayed
item by calling the menu and pressing <ENTER>. So favmenu can not be used
until Properties dialog is closed.
-
SHIFT + Enter (on menu item)
Open selected item in new TC tab
-
CTRL + SHIFT + Enter (on menu item)
Send path of the selected item to the active window.
-
Setup dialog
On
first run, Setup dialog will search for TC location in the registry and if not
found it will also try %COMMANDER_PATH%
environment variable ( if not
present in the system, this variable will be instantiated by TC privately) If
setup can not find Total Commander it will use Windows Explorer as file
manager.
If
Favmenu didn’t find your Total Commander, specify full paths to totalcmd.exe and wincmd.ini
yourself.
In
case you want to start TC with parameters, create link to the totalcmd.exe and
edit link info as you desire. After that specify the path to the totalcmd.lnk instead totalcmd.exe.
You
can use environment variables to specify exe & ini location.
You can call this Setup dialog via the tray
menu.
-
Current directories, Editor & “Add current dir” items
If
Total Ccommander is open, current left & right folders will be displayed at
first 2 positions. If they are the same only 1 will be visible. If menu is
called with TC active, this will not be displayed.
Add
current dir item works NOT
only if TC is active. It is also supported in all system dialogs (except
Office) and in Console. This will surely work for all hard disk folders but you
may have problems with so called virtual folders since many of them don’t have
physical representation on the hard disk. You can’t use Desktop folders for
now, but that may be added in the future.
Configure… item (Editor) can also be set as a last item
in the menu. This method is preferable to set the Editor, since you will not
have double configuration enteries when using TCs original directory menu,
because this item is not contained in the menu declaration. This also ensures
that this item is always last in the menu.
All
3 special items can be enabled/disabled via Setup dialog.
-
Automatic Refresh
Menu
is refreshed on every call, so if you update your favorites in TC changes will
be seen immediately.
-
Office Dialogs
Solid
support to Office 2003 Open/Save dialogs (it doesn't work if ListView is
focused)
Make sure your carret is in the edit box next to the File Name and you will not have any problems.
-
Console Support
If
cmd.exe is active window selecting path from FavMenu will change the path in
the command line. If you select executable from the menu, it will be typed on the
command line and executed. This allows console commands and applications
to be added to the FavMenu.
For
instance, you can create menu item: dir /b | sort
Menu
items pointing to console commands (not applications) are NOT compatibile with
Total Commander. If you need to run original TC directory menu, you will not be
able to execute them.
If
you want to run executables with long file names in console, you must use
quotes. This is not required for non-console usage.
If
you want to edit the line before posting it, you can use CTRL SHIFT ENTER.
You
can NOT run console commands from the system, only if console window is
active. It is pretty pointless to run them from the system, since they are executed
in the context of the current command line directory. The above command can be
executed from the system by changing it to: cmd /K dir /b
| sort
In
Setup->Integration tab you can set custom command to be executed after the
directory is open. The default is set to dir
/w /oGN so you are able to see
contents of the folder after you change to it. You can change this to whatever
you like (note that errors here will not be detected). If you want to display
the folder in empty console window you can change this entery to cls & dir /w /oGN
-
Icons
You
can specify an icon to display beside menu item. Icons are 12x12 with first
pixel holding transparent color. You have more then 100 icons included in the
package for you private use. Use relative path names when setting icons if you
want them to be portable.
-
Pseudovariables
Similar to environement variables, but has slightly different syntax (%$var%, instead %var%).

Menu
Editor is separate application that can be used to edit & organise the
menu. If you already have Config.ini created by FavMenu it will use existing
configuration. If you don’t use FavMenu, Menu Editor will try to find
wincmd.ini or ask you on failure.
If
you want to edit single item the fastest way is to use FavMenu’s itegrated
Properties dialog (CTRL ENTER).
Editor
can be added to the end of the Favmenu menu via its Setup dialog.
-
SHIFT Up/Down
Move
an item, or entire submenu.
While
moving, when you encounter submenu, if it is expanded, current item will become
its child or will be removed from it.
Otherwise,
item will jump over the submenu.
-
F2
Change
the title of an item. Use & to set a shortcut and – to
specify separator.
-
ENTER
This
key will redirect you to the next editable field for current item.
-
INSERT | SHIFT INSERT
Press
insert to add new menu item after currently selected. Hold shift to insert new
submenu.
When
the last item of the submenu is deleted, submenu will be turned to simple menu item.
-
DELETE
Remove
the item or complete submenu.
-
Browse buttons
>>
buttons can be used to speed up editing.
If
the first word in the command field is “cd”, browse for directory dialog
will be displayed, otherwise, browse for file. You must still press
ENTER to save changes.
-
Settings
If
settings tab in Menu Editor is hidden, use CTRL TAB to select it. You can
change the look and behavior of the editor here.
NOTES
You
may encounter some problems related to Total Commander interaction with the
menu. It is the best to avoid using TC editor at all, since FavMenu Editor is
much faster and functional plus TC editor will delete menu information about
your icons if you set them. You can use “Add current dir” TC option without any
problems.
-
If you have empty sub menus, script will not work.
- If you have 2 submenu items with the same
name, in order to see the second one, you must add pseudospace (ALT 0160) at
the end of the title of the second one. For all subsequent items with the same
name add additional pseudospace.
-
Menu is collected from the wincmd.ini [DirMenu] section. Format of this menu
is:
menuN = title | - | -title | --
cmdN = cd
<path|plugin|pseudovarialbe> | executable
While
building the menu, section will be iterated sequentially up to the first menuX
item that doesn't exist. If, for some reason, your TC menu has "hole"
in a sequence, script will rise errors or will not display the complete menu.
This
menu, for instance will not work:
[DirMenu]
menu1=item1
menu2=item2
menu4=item3
To
make sure your menu is not messed-up, open TC Favorites configuration and click
OK button. TC will rebuild the menu sequentially. If you still have problems, delete
everything (backup wincmd.ini first) and create your menu again. And if you
still have problems (very unlikely), visit developing forum to report this. If
you have any other mistakes in menu syntax script will not work.
-
Win9x systems are not and will not be tested. If it works, cool, but if not, don't
ask for support.
-
You can setup Win key shortcuts by manualy editing Config.ini :
Edit tcKey value in TCFavMenu
section. U can set Lwin or Rwin or #letter.
