Hi!

I am trying out SyMenu for the first time. I open the Batch Import tool and point it at my Apps directory and click Start Scan. It runs for a few seconds but then crashes and closes without showing an error. I have tried using the admin version as well but get the same result. I tried changing the "check up to level" value to 1 and then 0 but that did not help. I am using Win11 with an I9-12900HX and 32gb of RAM. I did a quick search on my Apps folder and it found ~2900 exe files - but of course I don't want to import them all.

Is my only option to use the drag-and drop functionality instead?

Hi Gianluca,

You are correct! :-) When I add those filters (*.cmd,*.jar,*.lnk,*.bat) the scan completes without crashing and shows me the results. That will be fine - I only have a handful of apps that launch via .bat files so I can add those manually.

I did want to make two observations, though.

The first is that I still see a lot of folders and subfolders listed in the scan results even though there are no .exe files in them. Presumably those folders have some file that I have filtered out, so it knows not to show me the file but still shows the folders?

The second observation is that I have my apps organized into subfolders, but there still are some apps directly at the root folder. So, I will do as you suggested and import one subfolder at a time, but is there a way to scan ONLY the root folder? Changing the "check up to level" value did not seem to have any effect, and the filter mechanism does not appear to work on folder names.

Thanks very much for the solution!!

Ahh, okay - yeah, that makes sense. No worries - I know it doesn't make sense to add features if not many people will use them. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some easier way of doing things.

Thanks again! :-)
