Hello Snowman.

I fixed the css as you suggested. It's much better this way, thanks for your help.

Now your requests.

1) allow multiple drag & drop of .lnk/.url files
Yes you are right. I though that the batch importer could be enough for most of the users, but your suggested feature is useful so consider it done with the next version.

2) Import .LNK/.URL files when [batch] import
Currently the batch importer ignores the .LNK/.URL files among the managed resources, but I can include them.
Please note that SyMenu will convert your .LNK file in its corresponding linked resource so you will probably have an exe file instead. And in your example the ignore filter will remove the item the same.
SyMenu doesn't directly manage the .LNK elements because they are senseles in its context. Think about that: since SyMenu is already in charge to manage links to resources (all the SyItems are at the end links) a Windows link is only a further and useless redirection level... and I hate the word useless.
So you will be able to import a .LNK file with the batch importer exactly as you are able to import it in the configuration form, that is in the form of its linked resource.

Snowman... you confused me smile smile smile
The multiple D&D will be available with the next version (6.03) that is in developing. In my previous message I promised the feature without pointing out the version number and this created the misunderstanding.

On the other side, you discover a bug in the current version (6.02) that can cause the D&D not work even with a single shorcut.

My idea is not to fix the current bug, because in this way I can directly release the most complete version with the multiple D&D.
You only need a bit more patience.
