Smart Dropdown Buttons: example template
Posted: 26 Oct 2013 19:23
Hi,
because I've only just discovered (
) this handy and simple feature I thought I'll post a small general template here.
The 1st section shows to ways for the goto command
- the real shorthand for a well-formed goto
- the explicit version allowing to provide an individual label and icon
2nd section
- simple application runner with individual labels and the icons automatically taken from the target exe files
3rd section
- Named shortcuts to Windows functions (Windows 8.1) with the icons taken from one of those special windows dlls
4th section
- nothing to explain here
5th section
- like the 1st section, an implicit and explicit open
Usage:
- Copy the text provided and save it into a .txt file of your choice
- replace the CAPITALS with proper paths to your applications and/or icons
- create a Custom Toolbar Button and add the line <load "PATH_TO_TXT_FILE">, of course w/o the tag limiters and the real path to the txt file just saved
Cheers,
