I've been using bbLeanMod which had mru.rc (most recently used) menu that was updated in real time. Now I've switched to bbLean 1.17.1 (because of UTF8 and some other things) and I'm missing that MRU thing. I could write a plug-in to catch @bbCore.exec bro@ms, but I don't know how to catch items activated via start menu as they don't broadcast any bro@ms. And I'm missing this MRU feature mostly when I'm forced to dig through start menu items in blackbox menu, so doing plug-in for handling just @bbCore.exec bro@ms doesn't cut it. Please help.

The auto-generated menus (like the Start menu) are handled through a different path in the menu code than th rest, because they are populated from special OS folders and often require more information that the standard shortcuts that we create manually. Due to this everything is handled internally by the menu code and never goes via the normal br@om interface or anything else that plugins can see.

While I don't have bbleanmod's code in front of me right now, I'm reasonably sure that they added a small bit of code into the execute function that all executables and links go through eventually when they get executed by the shell. That's unfortunately something that would need to get patched into the core to work.

Thanks for reply.

Guess I'll have to wait for BlackboxZero 1.17.1 to come out, since according to it's change log, RecentItems support has been added from bbLeanMod. (Or is it already out, but I can't find a link?)

I also added them to the 1.16 version of bbClean.. Only new functionality I didn't borrow from bbLeanMod while enhancing bbClean was the VI shortcut keys.

I've used bbLeanMod based on bblean 1.16 but then decided to switch on bbLean 1.17.1 because of UTF8, blackbox.startup.run and few other things that mattered to me more than menu icons and RecentItems in menu... So I wouldn't go back to something without UTF8 just for RecentItems option.

Today I've found out about BB_TASKSUPDATE and TASKITEM_ADDED messages (I'm new to programing plugins)...
I guess those could be used to make a plugin that will organize most recently and most frequently used tasks and store a list in a menu file. Am I wrong?

Hi Sanigo

I would like to implement this menu Item in my muCommander as well. But can you also provide your tools.xml file. And then all I need to do is coping tools.xsd and tools.xml to that folder, right?

Cheers, Nicolas

Working through code to create a menu system dynamically using ColdFusion. I already have the query returning the proper results but I need to attach each top level nav item to a corresponding image.

Ive searched in the forums and looked through the help files but find no mention of this capability. Is this possible?
