The next SyMenu version represents a great improvement with several new features and, for this reason, I prefer to publish it in a public beta before releasing to the public.
So please test it as you like, but don't use it as your main version because it is still a bit raw.

These are the most important features I introduced:

• the search patterns for the SPS Manager are now fully customizable. You can edit the default ones, add your recurring search, even delete every template if they annoy you;
  
• the SPS Manager search tool has a new search instruction (:auto). It searches for every SPS program with a flagged built-in updater option;
• every program, folder and command item can be optionally started with a maximized or minimized window. This feature doesn't work for every program, especially for those one that use a launcher (every PAF for example). It's not a problem on the SyMenu side, but it's the program launcher that doesn't communicate the desired window size down to the main program... so shame on the third party launcher;
  
• the user entries tooltip now has a more flexible duration setting. The duration can be set from 1 sec. to 30 sec. If you set it to any value greater than 30 sec. or directly to 0 sec. the duration becomes infinite. This setting is available directly on the configuration file... RTFM to know how it works ;
  
• there is a new action modifier to open the documentation file for the program. The documentation file is searched at run-time following certain rules. Please let me know when certain doc files are not retrieved. If I can see a new general rule to find them too, I can implement it;
  
• the massive import function, now shows the folders in gray because the folders are never imported;
• during the same working session the options form remembers the last opened tab (finally!!!!);
  
• the combobox now is drawn with an homogeneous style;
• fix in the translation labels of the proxy form;
  
• fix in configuration form for the right hand side flow panels placement;
• fix in path editing: the double quotes are automatically removed where they are not allowed.

And as a Christmas present there is a breaking change too....



Breaking change
When the working dir of an item was a relative path, the SyMenu resolution was wrong.
The old resolution rule was based on the SyMenu root folder instead of the program root folder as asserted by the documentation.
This version solves the bug so if you have some items configured with a relative working dir, please re-check your configuration.


That's all for now.

If someone wants to report something, you already know that you can get in touch with me with a post here in the forum, or through a forum private message, or through the contact form, or with an email.

Cheers.

Thanks for all your reports.
