Hello,
Spare me, I not so well know English, lol.
If in earnest, I will very thankful if you can describe poblems and suggestions more concretely, not mentioning everything existent OS and technology here. Sorry if it sounds rudely but it really will be more effective.

On popup menu: For begining, what version of RunMe do you use? I see old standard menu variant. In v0.9 it was replaced by this one:

Hello,
What interestingly, you are not first person who suggests to be thoughtful on security options. But, imho, it's not programwhere so important such things. I' am not right possibly. But it would be good to create the program for complete replacement of Start menu. Certainly on other engine than RunMe, more flexible and with similar functions. While dream only (while there is not possibility for me)

[bobsobol]

Yes, you are right... it was 0.8.x version.

Changing to 0.9.2 makes the popup groups show skinned like any other group, but also makes the initial slide in of the menu so slow as to be incredibly boring.

Also, of course, it doesn't improve the complexity of a folders contents.

Sorry... always over post. All my bad.

If a picture is worth a thousand words (and defiantly multi-lingual) see attached for "what I get and what I want". I think it's pretty obvious which it the more presentable.

I think Slide in/Slide out speed is too slow in new version. I've set it on max, but it looks like nothing changed...
Is there any bug in new sliding system or I couldn't set right options?

[bobsobol]

I was wondering if there was some change in the configurations file. I've tried fiddling with the "Slide in/out" sliders, though which end is fast and which slow is not very clear, it seems to have no effect.

I worry about the config, because some groups I change to Popup ("As menu" as it's now called) turn into a type the Properties page cannot describe and therefor can't be changed back.

I presume this is because I'm still using the configuration file from my old 0.8 version, as performing the same operations on new groups I create causes no such problems. Therefore, I guess it's possible the slide in/out settings could be suffering from similar incompatibilities between the config file formats. ???

@Bobsobol,
Hello!
Thanks for screenshot, I think you mean that your new folder menu is too wide.
It's because you have folder there with long caption, isn't it?
In this case, you can create new folder and place only needed shortcuts (to folders).
But, unfortunately, you can't navigate folders in runme then, this links can be opened only
Does it make sense?

On slide in speed:

@Hello, Kondragor!
I will send letter to your a bit later and then I will try to fix it, sorry
Are you really use v0.9.2? I just tought that it's strange that you can't feel difference in speed because I have it with different speed settings. Slide in/out really slower now, but more smooth. Does it works the same way in 2k and XP?

Thanks!
-Kostya.

[bobsobol]

It is wide, but that isn't the problem, it's the length.

Yes it makes sense. There are a number of work around, I presently make links as far as I need to, I could make folders with shortcuts, softlinks, junctions, hardlinks, reparse points etc... each of which has it's down side.

So my point still stands, the simplest solution right now is to make groups (not folder / drive links) put in only items I want, and add an item called "Open" to the top of the group so I can open that folder, rather than it's group. It would be very nice for me if a future version could have a click target action as well as a hover pullout for groups. I hope this makes sense to you.

The slow show hide option, I don't know about 2K but it is the same on Vista and XP. I had it go faster, (not as fast as I'd like) but I don't know what I did. It wasn't related to the slide bars in the settings, that much I do know.


Smooth is not as important as fast in something which is supposed to be a shortcut... though pretty is nice.

@bobsobol,

Thanks for specifying!
Btw, if you add item "Documents", for example, as folder with submenu, you can open this folder and other subfolders with middle mouse button. Maybe it will helpfully.
I will check Slide in/out speed, it works good for me so I forgot about it absolutely
But what do you mean on "It wasn't related to the slide bars in the settings"? Does this trackbars not work for you?

I will add filter for files in Folder Menu in next version (for example, you can choose to show only png,jpg and bmp files).

[bobsobol]

Aha!!! I only have 2 mouse buttons.

No, those sliders don't (normally) work for me in the new 0.9.2 version, though they did in 0.8.x.

I've made a breakthrough in when it works at sensible speed and when it doesn't. o/ ( I will gladly clarify if needed.

[Redwolf]

Yeah, I've noticed this problem too its speed won't change when I increase the settings. But when I open Blender or Km player it will speed up.

[ingo2008]

Has anyone experienced the following: sometimes when RunMe 0.9 is running, I have noticed that I cannot access the Windows taskbar anylonger... When I minimize active windows, it is possible again, but taskbar does not reappear when I maximize all windows again. My solution right now, as I could not yet find out when the taskbar disappears, is to restart RunMe. Or, of course, I could start a nice looking task switcher :-)

Otherwise...RunMe is just great (where can I donate :-) )

@Bobsobol,@Redwolf,
lol, I mean mouse wheel click
What interesting: I don't draw menu while sliding, this is a simply increasing/decreasing it's position.
So I very surprized how other applications can make it faster or slower.
Btw, Kondragor said me that speed really changes, he means only that this speed now slower, not like in previous version.

@Ingo2008,
That's very-very strange...
I think it can be related with window focus but taskbar does not compete with RunMe in this.

>>(where can I donate :-)
Sorry, this option is not avaliable yet

Thanks!

Is there a way for the links to open in a new window (Internet explorer) every time?
Thanks great SW :-)

[KSoft]

Hello, GSpot

You can try add link to Internet Explorer, for example
"C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe"
and add link as Parameter.

I'm not sure if there are special flags for IExplorer (to open in separate new window) but in my system IE 7 opened in new window each time I run this link.

How to create Relative Paths?

Example: I have a link to the document “test.xls”:
D:Documents and SettingsgspotDesktopRunMeDOCUMENTOStest.xls

I take RunMe to another pc the path doesn’t exist (of Corse) but the document is in the RunMe directory… is there some solution?

Thanks

[KSoft]

@GSpot,

If you choose this file check checkbox at bottom of open file dialog (If you can't see this box, resize open dialog a bit).
Then file name will be saved as "%DISC%Documents and SettingsgspotDesktopRunMeDOCUMENTOStest.xls"
But on other PC you will not have this path also.
Please place all files on Flash drive to, for example, "H:docs1.xls" and then add it to runme as relative link.
You will have "%DISC%docs1.xls" and this path will be independently from disk letter.

Hope this helps

In part it helps! It’s “disk independent”, but not “path independent” (i think).
I need to be able to copy Runme (with documents in the Runme directory…), for example to several pc’s desktops, and the links still work…

Can this be done?

Thanks for all the help
I love RunMe :-)

[KSoft]

@Gspot,

It seems to me that there are bug with file icon (not in Windows, sure )
For now, you can try to move your RunMe folder to disc root (and documents in it's folder) and add documents to RunMe with relative check box. If you choose image from this folder (png, with the same relative flag) - it should work.
I should fix it than I will have time.

I was already doing what you suggest “move your RunMe folder to disc root” It work’s.
Yes it’s in Windows.

Keep up the good work
Thanks

Thanks, Gspot!
I just meant that this bug in RunMe, not in MS Windows
