Toolbar Buttons with Dropdowns

[zmachine01]

I see that several buttons have dropdown menus. Is it possible that a humble peasant, like myself, could create such a button from which to launch applications from? Here's a pic showing a vision of what I'm imagining in my futuresphere mindscape. Also showing off my Snatchbox accomplishment:

You'll need just a little scripting. Read about scripting command popupmenu / popupnested = these allow to create any drop menus you may desire.
Yet for additional reference, you can right click on Hamburger button in Breadcrumbs menu(3 lines buttons) and select Customize - that's how its menu looks script-wise.

Right click on toolbar > Customize Toolbar

On left, scroll down to: User Button #...

Click Add

Move it to the place you want in right list

OK

Right Click on the new button

Change name and ico to what you want

On Left-click field, click Edit...

Put your program names and command like this

Code: Select all

"Notepad++";
  run '"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"';

"FireFox"
  run '"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"';

"Sumatra PDF"
  run '"C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe"';

(quote programs with '" ... "' (apostrophe and quotation mark ) and end with ;

OK
OK

That all

See Scripting on help for more details (in the middle of page: XYplorer Script Files)

You don't need scripting.

You can just put a list of full paths to exe's, one per line, if you want custom captions, append them after the path with a semicolon separator, like this:

c:\path\executable.exe;IronCAD

Yes! Even simpler, and it also displays program icons.
Thanks a lot!

Perfect thank you friends! This may radically supercharge my entire setup
