XYplorer Beta Club

While testing the new popupmenu/nested feature of automatically going to paths and launching exe's, I noticed that it seems it will break scripts use of popupmenu when using paths, eg.

e popupmenu("<xydata>|<xypath>");

will take you to the path in addition to the echo, another new behavior is that it will also now automatically only show the folder/file name without path, but that is probz ok in most historic scripts. Files seem ok though, just the echo is returned in that case.

Fix on the way.

Confirm fixed in v22.90.0004

I noticed that the default icon for all menu items when used in popupmenu is now a hamburger style icon, is that intentional?

popupmenu("#302|#303|#304");

Actually yes. I forgot to mention it in the change log. The idea is that menu commands get the menu icon.

So, uhm, you don't like it?

I am not fussy, just was unexpected.

Actually, it blocks items that have a checked state from displaying it though, eg:

popupmenu("#480|#801");

Argh! MS's age-old bug of having symbols and ticks in the same place will haunt us forever...

While testing this I noticed that none of the scripting menu's items display their checked state in popupmenus/HB, unlike when shown in the main menu, not sure if that was already known, so thought I'd mention it, its like this in older versions too, so not a new issue.

popupmenu("#750|#758");

Additionally since we're on the subject, a fair few of the main submenu items don't show state, that may be by design though:

popupmenu("#681|#682|#687|#402|#404"); // 687 works though, so some submenu items do

that isn't a complete list, it was just an example of a few CIDs that don't.

A neglected area indeed. Will be better in the next beta.

I noticed these still aren't working: popupmenu('#691|#692|#693|#694');

Thanks!

You're going to hate me, but #702 #703 too.

Well I hope you don't hate me for letting you find all those bits instead of fixing the whole thing for good.
