One quick question, guys: the addition of the jumplist recent files feature meant that when opening the right click context menu of some items there can be a small delay while the application verifies if that particular application has a list of recent files or not.

If it does not, the "Recent Files" item does not appear in the main right click context menu.

This verification is done to prevent an empty "Recent Files" sub-menu from being added to every item that qualifies to having a jump list, but it does imply that potential small delay when opening the main right click menu (it is negligible for some items but quite noticeable in others)

Has this delay bothered any of you guys?

The alternative is NOT to do the check when opening the main menu. This means the delay will then ONLY happen when/if actually opening the actual "Recent Files" sub-menu. The drawback is that some items will display an empty "Recent Files" sub-menu.

Or you can disable the Recent Files Jumplist feature entirely in the Tasks tab of Preferences, of course.

@Jorge - Before I ask a gauge question I will answer yours.

I have my recent files disabled so I am definitely the wrong person to ask that.

Gauge Overlays For Disk Monitor ?

Jorge I think I might be unnecessarily either making my life more difficult or confusing myself.

You asked us to test. I am testing one I will never release purely to see what it can do. There are two Gauges basically...

So I cannot seem to get a Gauge overlay working whether it is a generic one or not. The gauge arms are easy, in this I am missing something.

Because there are two gauges logic says an 01 and an 02.


I think I have mistyped. This would be a generic one? Or do I have the H in the wrong position? DiskShowGaugeHOverlay? neither seems to work. The image file I thought would be DiskGaugeOverlay01.png (and 02 for the second??).
So which might it be or none of them as I tried all below? If an overlay in DD is not available, fine, and yes I read your interactions with Picco14...they do not involve an overlay.
If it is enabled, what would the png correct name be? I got sick of trying so many variations as they all did not work. So yes, that's on me.

DiskShowGaugeOverlayH=true ?

DiskShowGauge01OverlayH=true ?

DiskShowGaugeOverlay01H=true ?

DiskShowGaugeHOverlay01=true ?

It is not an essential feature and I can work without it and won't use it on every gauge, but if it is available, it would be nice to know the correct configuration.

Bass.... Sigh lol

Please don't take this the wrong way: you are a brilliantly creative but scatterbrained genius lol

Where did you get "DiskShowGaugeOverlayH" from? That doesn't exist anywhere. Read back, in the beta post I mentioned what the names are and what they do. They are per SECTION overlays, not *gauge* overlays. And the name would be DiskShowSectionOverlayH anyway, not DiskShowGaugeOverlayH

Ah... so it goes into the section overlay. Wow, that is so much easier (facepalm).

As I mentioned "Jorge I think I might be unnecessarily either making my life more difficult or confusing myself." Yup.
Thanks Jorge

That was like running around the house looking for your car keys in every imaginable place and they are right in front of you the whole time.

Bah Humbug! No need getting checked out - doing that myself, thank you. Getting a little better by the day anyway. "In our age group?!" Hah, says the youngster. I'll be fine. Complete rest would be better, but I just get too restless.

Yes restless could have been my middle name

Update is good. well done

If I may make a suggestion?
The storing of Vertical or Horizontal Disk orientation is great though it should probably include any User's selection of whether they chose a disk drive or ring drive per theme. Some users will only choose disks and it might have the same misinterpretation of them saving modules and it not saving their preference per theme.
Just an observation

Yours and mine, both!

@JORGE

MOST people who aren't into the details of Winstep seem to see it as a super-charged desktop on steroids. This means they change like a desktop, a theme here and there, or a wallpaper. So they might over the course of a year only change the theme 3-20 times unless they try a new theme. While it is a simple change of icons in right clicking, I noticed many only want to click once, especially the ones who want a minimum of fuss and they number in the many. Do not believe me, I am sure you can get enough feedback for yourself

Good to see that 26.1 is out there - I'll try and get into Windblows in the next few days (got a quack appointment Monday, and near the end of my time on computer for today). Should be OK for Tuesday, Wednesday latest - quite curious to try out the Disk mod.
