I only have to check for performance because the linked folders could contain tons of files and sub folders.
Imagine if a user link a folder with something like C:\ Well in this case I imagine this particular mapping is related to the user attitute to self-destruction...
I could try to load the content of every folder dinamically but maybe in this case the loading process could be too slow.

Well I have to work on it but this will probably be one of the new feature of the next version.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2014 08:41:17 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=247 I use SyMenu a lot and I think it’s one of the best (at least for me) launcher. I use it on Windows XP, 7 and 8.1 for portable AND for local installed programs.
I don’t use Windows Start menu any more. Only the Taskbar for navigating through my data. To get rid of the taskbar I would love to see one improvement in SyMenu as follows:

- make folder-element displayable as tree and make gesture and shortcuts available with it

What is it?
it is just like SyMenu option "Host-Programs", but for user created folder entries.
(this feature is also available as Symbollist in Taskbar of Windows explorer - don't know, if you can use this function in Symenu?. But if you do it in SyMenu you can have it all in one customizable GUI, you can even use Shortcut or gesture if you make this available with the folder element too)
how to select?
e.g. in Folder-Item-Dialog with Checkbox "o Show as Tree"
What can you do with it?
So you can create a folder entry %USERPROFILE%, and you can browse your Data-tree on every PC you log in with the same Symenu-entry
or
you create a folder entry (let's say %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu - with Option "o Show as Tree") name it local Startmenü and voila you have the well known lokal Startmenü. (Now available in SyMenu as Host programs)
or
assume your portable apps are located in the same tree as SyMenu then a folder entry of “..” will let you browse through your portable apps folder
Even at the current mouse position, if you use a gesture for it (or with a shortcut, if you preferre)


you catch the idea...

Awaited result (when you click on menu item folder)
