New in version 1.8.1:
- Fixed button shortcuts not working
New in version 1.8:
- Menu items can now be moved up and down using commands in
the Edit menu; in order to make this run at a reasonable
speed on all Amigas, the order of items will not be re-
flected in the Workbench menu until you close the Commodi-
ty window
- The commodity can now be iconified from the Project menu;
in this state, tools can be added by dragging their icons
onto the commodity's icon
- New and Delete buttons can now have keyboard shortcuts
- About-requester can now be closed by pressing the left
Amiga key with V or B, like system requesters
- Includes Italian translation by Samir Hawamdeh
ToolsMenu is a commodity that will let you add tools to the
Tools menu on your Workbench screen. Once a tool has been
added, you can run it by selecting it from the menu. Any
icons selected on the Workbench at that moment become argu-
ments for the tool.
For example, if you add MultiView, you can select the icon
of an image on the Workbench, then select MultiView from the
menu to view that image.
Tools will be run as if started by the Workbench. You will
not be able to run tools that do not have a proper tool
icon.
Adding tools should be pretty self explanatory. Drag tool
icons into the window to add them, after which you can edit
their names if you like. You can also click the "New" button
to manually enter a tool. You then write the name of the
tool (as you would like it to appear in the menu) under the
list, and type in the full path of the tool over on the
right where it says "Tool". The path must include the name
of the tool's executable file.
You can move the currently selected item up and down using
the Edit menu. You can also sort the items alphabetically.
Note that the order of items will not be reflected in the
Workbench menu until you close the Commodity window.
The commodity can be iconified from the Project menu. In
this state, tools can be added by dragging their icons onto
the commodity's icon.
When you are happy with your selection of tools, you must
remember to save them from the pull down menu. The defini-
tions will be saved as tool types in the commodity's icon.
ToolsMenu requires Kickstart 2 or later.
The full source code is included.
Thanks go to Samir Hawamdeh for providing an Italian trans-
lation, and to everyone who provided me with feedback and
helpful suggestions!
