Allow grouping User Command Scripts into submenus

[woofy31]

I currently have 70 user command scripts defined for all sorts of daily tasks, and it has become a nightmare to scroll through such a long "Run Script" menu (it doesn't even scroll for I have to click the top/bottom arrows to scroll through the list)

Just like there is an option to insert a menu separator, there should also be an option to create a submenu to group specific user command scripts into a submenu, thus (1) allowing easier finding of scripts, (2) removing the need to scroll through endless menus and (3) removing the need to assign shortcuts just to avoid scrolling through long script menus.

You might want to look into the catalog where you can group your scripts in categories (only 1 level though).
Another thing to look at is CFA's, especially interesting if your scripts only make sense for some specific file types, see screenshot below:

Awesome creative solutions - pity my catalog is already full of things (although I could create a separate catalog for scripts, but I don't think there is a quick hotkey-way of switching catalogs without clicking context menus), and I don't have many filetype-specific scripts.

I do recall that XYplorer has implemented a custom popup menu/nested popup feature, so I have to look into that and see how I could use it to create a custom popup with submenus listing all my scripts in categories.

Thank you Ralph!

catalogload() bound to user defined commands with a hotkey...

How did you create those menus/submenus? Is it via the custom popup feature?

Here's my current menu for folders and some apps, if any use to you...

Code: Select all

$menu = <<<MENU

Separators are made with -
Indents make a new category.

Custom queue menus via AutoHotkey scripts, but you don't need to learn AutoHotkey because I imitated XY's custom menu.

hi,
i have many user commands and i think it should be more convenient if we can create folder or category to organize them
for example , in user-manage commands menu=> in "run scripts" category, i want to create a folder/category and drag my user-commands into it
Thanks

Hi again, from what i understand from this thread, the post is about categorize the script file ,not user-defined command (please tell me if im wrong)
i want to categorize the user-defined command (not scripts file) in the popup (which open via user=>manage commands) , is there anyway to do that?
(i prefer using user-defined commands than using script files because running user-defined command will load script from memory instead of loading the script from disk)
any help would be much appreciated

And what is the big difference or problem ?

[xen]

loading from memory faster than disk, also user-defined command has hotkey to trigger
