while using this great prog i`ve encountered few more bugs.

first of all, when i woke my comp from sleep 3 folders titled "backup1, backup2 and backup3" appeared in the menu. Also a an item "bckover" appeared in the menu. i attached the screenshot.

second, i`ve used the "set image" option for a shortcut and the image looks weird. when not mouse-overed, it just shows the upper half, and when i out my mouse over it, it shows the bottom half. i increased the max menu item height to 130 (128x128 was the size of the png i set) and it`s still the same. Also the thing i hate is the fact that once u use "set image" option u can`t go back but have to delete the item and add it again.
it would be great if users could set up the size for individual items in the same menu so i could have something like in the attached image (the one with power commands).

one more thing i noticed is that menus pop up much slower when mouse clicked than when you use a hotkey to invoke them. for example there is a second between the click on the menu and untill it`s opened, while when using hitkey, it`s instant.

this is the idea i had for different sizes within the same menu

it would be great if we could align the separators like in this screenshot. Also it would be great if separators could be just text, instead of text + lines. i tried to set it like in the SS but couldn`t do it Sad

PS screenshots are from a free Mac app called Butler.

Is this virtual folder? Are there backup1/2/3 etc. on the disk?

Image must contain 3 images for 3 states: Normal, Down and Over. See this example.

Delete all from the Image File field and all come back.

Try to lock buttons. In this case menu will be opened on mouse button down - this is quickly.

Apparently some other program you're running has created these files in that directory. Is this TLB toolbar still in the default quicklaunch location, or have you specified another directory?

Oh and please make sure you don't mark everything as a bug if it doesn't work immediately as you expect Wink

yeah
sorry but during testing of AveDesk (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.avedesk.com">www.avedesk.com</a><!-- w -->) i got used to reporting bugs :p

and i didn`t move the folder, it`s still quick launch default.
I`m sure it`s not another peogram, i`ll try to replicate it and let u know.

update

i found iTunes related files in backup1 and backup2 folders.
however when i delete them it doesn`t affect iTunes at all but it`s annoying to have to delete them all the time :/
here`s a SS of files that appear in backup1 and backup2 folders

As solution: right-click that folders and Hide them. So they always will be hidden.

EDIT: right-click in TLB menu.
