Catalog via a drop down toolbar item

[timhatz]

It would be nice, if I decided to 'not show' the catalog, but allow a 'star type icon' on the toolbar, to list all my catalog items and pick them from there... The catalog function eats up too much of my directory tree for all the quick launch programs I have there.

Favorite programs to run, would be another nice toolbar item... Kinda like favorite files,folders... but this one would execute the program.

Thanks, Tim

Not a bad idea, but a Catalog can get quite big. Nobody likes to scroll through menus...

You could manually implement this if you wanted, or something very like it, using the new custom toolbar buttons. I created a couple of small dropdown menus for groups of programs (eg, I have one for all my security/cleanup programs).

Add a new program to the menu like this:

"Item Name|C:\Icon File Path\icon.ico" open "C:\Program Path\program.exe"

Create a separator by putting a hyphen on a new line.

Though I suppose that would get tedious if you're often changing around your catalog. Mine is pretty rigid, so it's perfect for me.
