Title: Help needed !! Problems with menus in Opus 5.8
Post by: beltrixx on May 27, 2009, 01:30:52 AM
I've never had problems to successfully create different button bars in my Diropus Config, both text and graphics button bars, but when it comes to create new "user menus" or "start menus" I'm having a strange problem :

The editor for user menus or start menus is arranged in 3 columns, each one -from left  to right- representing a menu level (outermost to innermost). When I try to add new menus or submenus, they are all created using the same name "New menu" (for the outermost entries) and "new object" (for the submenus)... it seems impossible to change the names of these items, so you have lots of entries with the same name. What kind of menu is this?

Does anyone know how to fix this ????

Thanks in advance,

beltrixx.

The user-menu is like the standard Workbench, rightclick pulldown menus.
When editing or creating such, you do this via the 3 lists-window as you
described.
The first list is for the name of the menu, like Tools, Commodities, Apps, or
whatever you intend to create.
The second list is the actual program-item, i.e what it should launch/do
when selected.
The 3rd list is for submenu-items, like Apps->Unpack...->Zip, LhA or;
If you've created a menu called Gfx, the second menu could contain a
menu called Programs, then you could add all graphicsprograms as
subsequent sub-menus.
The names are edited just below the lists, you can also use Drag n' Drop
quite extensively.
You can drop the icons of the programs in the user-menu editor and they
will be added using the name of the file.
Do save your menu every now and then when building it...
 
I hope this clarifies your problems?
