user command woes

[FrizzleFry]

I'm about to run out of user command slots... I have seven left (out of 99). It would be nice if you would increase the number of custom items. About 10 of my user commands are MenuHacks for internal x2 commands that are not available as toolbar buttons so you could help me by making those available. But just increasing the the limit of custom items would do the trick.

here are some commands I have setup as MenuHacks:
select all (I just noticed that this one is available as a toolbar button now)
copy full path names (available as keyboard shortcut but not as toolbar button)
copy columns (available as keyboard shortcut but not as toolbar button)
toggle filter (available as keyboard shortcut but not as toolbar button)
toggle hidden (available as keyboard shortcut but not as toolbar button)
paste hard links
paste folder junction

if you prefer the mouse would you consider to add things in xplorer2 > ORGANIZE context menu?
you gave me an idea to add a quicksearch box in user commands (organize) dialog -- how can you manage 90 of them otherwise?

How does that allow him to define more than 99? That's just an extra place to store them.

I've been using a (very early/outdated/buggy) version of Listary which hooks into any focused listview (including system ones like services, etc) and lets you search it. Handy. I think the latest versions have lost that to focus more on files & stuff.

But yes, +1 for searchbox. (And the ability to add more directly from the organize modal itself, which has been a long standing request from the whole of the Western hemisphere.)

At most the x2 context menu gives me access to some of the built-in commands that I have setup as MenuHacks... and it is just not as convenient as toolbar buttons...

the way things are stored in the registry there's easily room for 256

Hmm... so it doesn't actually allow more UC's to be defined, merely more references to be created and muttered over as the user tries to juggle these and tie his shoelaces with a sprained wrist. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to just dynamically allocate space according to the nCustMenuIcons value? Otherwise, why is it adjustable? If one tries to set a higher value than (your arbitrary) 99 manually, it just truncates it back to 20, which seems unnecessarily punitive to OTT power users.

Shouldn't the gods smile on OTT power users and not frown upon them for the many bushels of corn they have already sacrificed to the capricious whims of divinity? Just a thought...

I guess one reason for setting a lower value for custom items is to reduce the clutter in the customize toolbar dialog. I have always thought that only custom items that were actually set should appear there.
