ronen1n Posts: 25 [Plugin] GitHub SPS Updater & Community Publisher A plugin for SyMenu that automatically finds and applies updates to apps in your custom suites, lets you add new apps easily, and allows UGMFree uploaders to sync and publish community .sps packages directly to SyMenu servers. Plugin Features Adding apps: Add from GitHub: Paste a repo or release link (owner/repo or full URL) — auto-detects version, release date, asset, main .exe, and extracts the icon. Add by direct download link: Paste any .zip, .7z, or .exe URL. Add from PortableApps library: Search and add apps directly from the offline PortableApps catalog into your custom suite. Icon support: Auto-extracts icons from executables/archives, or browse any custom image (.ico, .png, .jpg, .bmp — auto-converted to 16×16 Base64). Auto-configured metadata: Automatically fills in publisher, description, and SPS schema fields (Creative Commons 4.0 license, category). Updating apps: Auto check & update via GitHub: Tracks upstream releases, tags, and asset naming patterns. Auto update via Webscrape rules: Regex-based scraping for apps without GitHub (scrapes version from download page + downloads via template). NirSoft & JetBrains updates: Built-in update tracking for NirSoft tools and JetBrains standalone products. Background startup check: Can check for updates quietly on SyMenu startup (configurable interval) with tray notifications. 100% Native SyMenu updates: The plugin only updates the local .sps definition files. SyMenu's native updater handles the actual downloading, unpacking, and installing. UGMFree SPS Publisher (for uploaders): Check uploader apps: Compares your local custom suite packages against the packages currently live on UGMFree servers under your account. One-click publish: Push updated .sps definitions directly to UGMFree without needing external tools. Schema validator: Pre-checks categories, packer formats, executable paths, and required metadata before uploading to prevent server errors. Security & Verification: VirusTotal integration: Automatically queries VirusTotal API v3 for scan ratios and embeds report permalinks. Detection limit guard: Blocks updating a package if VirusTotal detections exceed your threshold. Menu & Suite Tools: Prune menu shortcuts: Keep alternative executables you don't use (e.g. 32-bit versions, CLI variants, or secondary companion tools in the same app) from being re-added to your menu every time the app updates. Remove duplicate shortcuts: Clean up duplicate entries across suites. Merge PortableApps: Import and link apps from an existing PortableApps directory structure. Requirements SyMenu 8.16 or newer. Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit). .NET 10 Desktop Runtime (x64). Installation Download SyMenuGitHubUpdater-2.0.0.zip. Extract the folder into:<SyMenu>\Plugin\SyMenuGitHubUpdater\ Restart SyMenu. Access via Plugin → GitHub SPS updater. Optional Settings Inside the plugin window, click Settings...: GitHub Token: Recommended to increase rate limits from 60 requests/hour to 5,000/hour. VirusTotal API Key: If you want automated malware scanning before updating. UGMFree Account: Enter your forum username & password if you want to publish community .sps packages. This post and most of the plugin done by AI so if you need any other explanation for what the plugin doing or want any change that will make sense please let me know This plugin approved by SyMenu author for pro users This plugin still has some bugs so use at your own risk The idea for this plugin is to make adding and updating apps to SyMenu easier Please tell me what you think Download: https://f2h.io/k9zzv2rji1zj edited by ronen1n on 10/11/2026 edited by ronen1n on 10/11/2026
