Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1327 Hello guys, Version 8.08 is out and brings some interesting new features. Finally, we have a graphical way to check trash disk usage. Naturally, it's not the Windows trash folder (that's not SyMenu's business) but the SPS trash. Where is it? It's in the status bar at the bottom of the form, specifically the red part of the Free space bar (see it in this image: https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#SPSForm). Since the Free space bar refers to the entire disk usage, the trash part does too. So you can have the trash button on one suite (e.g., the SyMenu suite) and not on another (e.g., NirSoft suite), yet the red bar appears in both. I've been forced to add this information because some users reported excessive disk usage due to an unemptied trash. Now you have no more excuses for flooding your disk because everything is clearly under your control. The second main feature concerns one of the ways to import items into SyMenu. When you drag something from the file system into SyMenu (either the floating icon or the configuration form), this "thing" is analyzed and imported. If you drag an executable, it's easy to guess what happens but what if you drag a folder? Before version 8.08, the folder was linked as a SyContainer and could be explored from SyMenu. This version introduces a breaking change: folders are no longer converted into containers but are scanned in search of programs. The scan happens at every level (folder and subfolders). When an executable is found, it is added to a new folder called "Import" (with a different icon than the regular container, too). It's up to you to organize what SyMenu found and placed inside the Import folder. My advice is to move each item to the correct folder within your carefully structured menu, then delete the emptied Import folder. That way, you'll keep things clean and tidy. A strong piece of advice: don't import a folder full of programs all at once unless you can let SyMenu run for a long time. You can find more details here: https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#SyMenu_ImportFromFS As usual, if you have any comments, questions, feedback, or simply want to chat about SyMenu and its world, I'm here.
