- ToolMenu v 36.16 is a tool that allows you to add Applications and Commands
- to the Workbench "Tools" menu.
-
- ToolMenu may be toggled ON (or OFF) by double clicking it from workbench.
- You can place ToolMenu in your wbstartup drawer to have it start up
- automatically whenever you boot. If placed in wbstartup drawer, you must
- have the tooltype DONOTWAIT in the icon.
-
- Use the Workbench Icon/Information feature to enter ToolTypes in the icon
- for the applications/commands that you want to appear in the Workbench
- "Tools" menu. Use the following format for each item:
-
- MenuItemName=fullpath/application
-
- for example:
-
- Wack=h:MyTools/Wack
- DPaint=h:MyTools/DPaint
- Calculator=SYS:Tools/Calculator
-
-
- If you need to set the current directory, stack size, or priority for
- the command, use multiple statements separated by Left-Amiga+CTRL-J
- (this will insert a CTRL-J which appears as a square into the string).
-
- For example:
-
- VT100=cd work:comm<Left-Amiga+CTRL-J>vt100
- MyEditor=stack 10000<Left-Amiga+CTRL-J>work:mytools/MyEditor
-
-
- NEW:
-
- ToolMenu (with at least Kickstart 36.260) also supports passing Workbench
- arguments to your commands in the WB Tools menu. Select the icon(s) you
- wish to pass, and then select your command in the Workbench Tools menu.
-
- Define your command with [] where you want any arguments inserted,
- either within the command or at the end of the command. If you do
- not have a [] in your command, no arguments (selected icons) will be
- inserted.
-
- Example: TypeHex=type [] hex
- List=list []
-
-
- Note for CLI purists - ToolMenu uses commodities ArgArrayInit, so you should
- also be able to specify the arguments via command line, in the same format.
