To avoid having too many posts to read through in the previous Personal Menu thread (viewable here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=17777) I have started this new thread.

Personal Menu is now at version 0.60.7!

If there are no major issues in this version I will release it to the Maemo-Extras repository. For now, it is available at the garage page: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/personal-menu/

UPDATE: now available in the maemo Extras repository! No more manually downloading when wanting to upgrade! Also available: One-click Install

Changes in this version0.6 include:
  • Simplified options: instead of providing number of columns and "min rows" (what did that actually mean, anyway?) they are now calculated based on icon size. As of version 0.6-3 this is optional
  • Fixed dependency issue with libglade (which was never a real dependency anyway! Oops)
  • Add support for category headings - create an entry with an appropriate name and leave executable blank (see screenshot)
  • Menu opens WAY faster and uses WAY less CPU when opening
  • Fix dialog being pushed off the screen by popup menu
  • Add customizable (and optional) font and colour selection for the menu
  • Rearrange setup plugin to better fit the screen
  • In version 0.6-3 there is a small fix for the font button when the font is too long to fit on the screen
  • Various fixes and improvements I have forgotten about

UPDATE:Changes in 0.7 include:
  • Redesigned settings dialog with "Arrange Items" and "Settings" tabs to better fit on the screen
  • Fixes to move up, move down, and delete (if no item is selected)
  • Added option to enable/disable deletion confirmations
  • Made instructions come up after install (how to enable on first
    install, note to reboot on upgrade) Thanks OMWeather for showing me
    how!
  • Redesign desktop selection and icon selection dialogs
  • Removed icons from header in the settings dialog to make it more
    clear
  • Add bold indicators for headers in the arrange view
  • Make double clicking on desktop file or icon in selector select the
    icon

Please try it out and let me know if there are any issues. If you find a problem with the layout (calculates the wrong number of rows or columns or something) please provide your settings and the number of entries in your menu.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Wow, I thought I kept this thread updated better! Here are the changes up to 0.8-5 (which is just a minor release to bring back the old icon):

* Fixed backup configuration so it actually backs up
* New customized icon
* Added autobuild tools to the build process
* Changed back to original icon

The new icon is now being used for Personal Launcher.
