MenuMagic v2 preRC has been released.The main reason this is not a Release Candidate is because the Help system needs to be updated.
The version is free to registered users - use your private download link that you received with your licensing to download.
Some of the new features:
- Quick Load - if VST scanner hasn't made system changes (ie modified the plugin list) MenuMagic will skip scanning the system for plug-in changes. Program load time was 3.5x faster on my system.
- DupeFixer - major design change/rewrite.
Uses new Hidden Category to hide plugins from appearing in menus.
Prioritizes plugs based on type and hides subsequent duplicates.
Check out video link below to find out more. - Menu Creation modifications
Can now modify existing plug-in layout menus. - Name Fix enhancements & bug fixes
- Improved syncing with other MenuMagic modules
- Fixed bug that would revert changes made in Categorization Tab
- Better data modification trackng.
Reloads or in some case avoids reloading database when switching between modules
- Update notifier - now built into the the MenuMagic icon tray app.
and numerous tweaks, bug fixes, etc..
There are a lot of changes in this new version and while I have put a lot of effort into trying to make this as bug free as possible their is always the chance that it may not run as expected on your system.Before installing - It is recommended that you either backup up your existing installation (you can just zip up the program folder and it's subfolders) or install the new version in a new location.
