SyDocument is an item type that allows to link any type of document (.doc, txt, xls, mp3, jpg, gif... and so on) but .exe.

For some document types SyMenu implements a default icon.

The complete list of managed extension is:
url,htm,html,hlp,7z,arj,gz,gzip,lzh,rar,tar,tgz,zip,jpg,jpeg,gif,tiff,tif,bmp,png,txt,nfo,ini,chm,doc,docx,rtf,xls,pdf,mp3

If anyone wants to experiment some custom configuration, try to add new extensions to the list (the list is stored in SyMenuConfig.xml file).

New extension can override old extension or manage not existing extensions.

For example this entry manage mp3 (override), mp1 (new) and mp2 (new) and uses music.ico icon.
<icon name="music" path=".\icons\music.exe.ico" extension="mp1,mp2,mp3" />

Watch out. SyMenuConfig.xml file represent the core of SyMenu configuration so make a backup copy of it before modifing.

Since current release (1.07) customize SyDocument is easier than before.

Go on Options menu and in Startup tab you'll find every SyDocument icon.
Click on it and you can specify the new icon. Click again and custom icon will be restored.

Anyway if you want to change managed extensions or if you want to add new items you'll have to manually edit configuration file as explained before.
