New util: MC Menu Mender

[eTe]

I just preposed to emucenter for you, think you guys should join forces and make the best program for mce ever

[syrilion]

Hi Advent. A suggestion for you - is it possible to have a response when something happens - like a pop up or a message that tells you that you have successfully created or moved a menu item? Following on from that would be an error message (if any error codes are returned) to say that the menu is full.

Cool program!

[jr_kng]

This is a super program, very simple and very useful...

Thanks for making my vmc a little better!

[Advent]

Thanks jr_kng

Syrilion, you should get an error message if anything goes wrong. It isn't possible to even attempt to add more items to a strip than is allowed - once you reach the limit, you can only replace existing items (or remove existing items, obviously ).

hi Advent,

Thanks mate. I did not get any error messages, but that could just be the user

[galapogos0]

it crashes when i tried to use it to delete a broken menu item left behind by an uninstalled program...

any chance for a fix?

[baturbo]

Hi Advent,

Great tool. Does it sort the movies by the "Title" field or the "Title sort" field. It seams to be the latter. Would it be possible to have the defult as the "Title sort" field from Movie collector?

Thanks again.

[dgaust]

???? I think you may have the wrong tool.

THis only adjusts the menu's in MCE.

[baturbo]

LOL. Don't I feel like an idiot. I meant to post in the MC Organizer thread. Ops.

I'll do that now.

Sure galapogos0, i'll try to have a look at it tonight.

[Snoopy07]

Hi All

I have tried to use the MC Menu Customiser but when it runs it is really slow and
when loaded it shows me the apps section and the 2 main catagories on the right..

Im not susr what it should do but if i click something the program just hangs for a few
minutes and does nothing. I select or make any changes etc..

What i would like to do is reorganise a couple of things and add another front strip
like My games ..

I just cant see all the current menus and the ones shown i can do anything..


Am i missing something ..

Any help is appreciated..

[ryan93]

Hey

I love the app, works really well although mymovies isnt present when im in the program, is this because its not mcml? or jst a big? is there anyway i can fix this? because its really annoying i want tv library and my movies on the same strip

thanks

ryan

[Advent]

ryan93, i'm not sure why mymovies wouldn't be showing up - i'll have to install it when I get home tonight and have a look. I'll let you know.

Snoopy07, i'm not sure why it would be running slow either - it doesn't really do all that much Just to be sure - you have tried to drag items from the apps section onto the plus signs up the top, right?

galapagos0, i'm afraid I clean forgot about making that fix on Friday, sorry! If it's any consolation, I had a pretty good weekend I'll try to remember tonight
