• 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).

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• SyMenu 8.16 or newer.
• Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit).
• .NET 10 Desktop Runtime (x64).

• 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.

• Fixed SyMenu Stay-On-Screen Focus Bug: Closing plugin windows now hands focus cleanly to the next window instead of re-activating SyMenu and keeping its menu stuck open on screen (applies to both GitHub SPS Updater and Portable Edge, 32-bit and 64-bit SyMenu).
• Fixed GitHub Publisher Resolution:
  • Direct GitHub release-asset links (e.g. .../releases/download/...) now resolve through the GitHub repository path instead of falling back to github.com root (preventing false update alerts on subsequent checks).
  • Existing definitions are only merged when matching the same repository and no longer overwrite the GitHub publisher name/website with third-party sites.
• Readable Vertical Main EXE Tooltip: Detected executables in the Add App dialog now list one per line instead of all on a single line.
• Improved Dark Theme Disabled Buttons: Disabled buttons now use muted grey text on a flatter dark background for clear readability.
• Remembered Window State & Grid Settings: Filters (Show, Installed only, search text), grid sort column/direction, window size/position, and details panel state now persist between sessions and across checks.
• Clearer New Suite Input (PortableApps): Updated label and tooltip to indicate you can pick an existing suite or type a new suite name.
• Encrypted UGMFree Credentials: Stored UGMFree passwords are now encrypted with Windows DPAPI per user (existing plain-text passwords migrate automatically on next Settings save).

• New Overlays Manager (Tools → Overlays Manager…): Central dashboard showing all configured/built-in overlays, their status (in place, waiting, needs re-apply, available (disabled)), a Check & Apply Overlays button, and Enable / Disable / Edit / Remove controls.
• Built-in Overlays Are Now Opt-In for New Users: Shipped built-in rules (Dark7zip for 7-Zip x64 and x64dbg Plugin Manager) start disabled (available (disabled)) so nothing modifies existing apps until you click Enable. Existing users who already had them applied stay enabled automatically.
• "Overlays only" Filter & Post-Update Hook: Filter the main grid to overlay-enabled apps and automatically re-apply overlays after updates finish.
• Simpler Overlay Setup: Added Browse Files… to pick assets straight from GitHub releases plus one-click presets in the overlay rule editor.
• JetBrains Standalone Support & Auto-Healing Icons: Added support for IntelliJ Community, PyCharm Community, and Gateway .windowsZip packages, plus automatic repair of generic placeholder icons in .sps files.
• Online PortableApps & Official Suite Handling: Online PortableApps (*_online.paf.exe) now stamp properly as exe with /S /D={0} so SyMenu updates them natively; official-suite apps stay hidden when official-suite patching is turned off.

A great addition for the next version would be an About entry in the Tools menu or at least an indication of the plugin version in the settings, as it is currently impossible to determine which version is running unless you inspect the dll file through the Windows file properties dialog.
Another issue: I noticed that the plugin remembers the last applied filter, but the filter text box remains empty. As a result, I end up with a filtered grid without knowing which filter is currently active.
As a related improvement, a visual indicator showing that one or more filters are active could also be useful.
