User Menu Editor - what it does

Reads the Altap Salamander user menu structure from Windows registry. It parses it into a tree structure, which can be edited. The editor enables you to create, move (up, down, in, out), delete selected items. It can also edit the items inner values similar way you would do it from Altap Salamander.

After changes have been made these can be exported into Windows registry file or saved directly into Windows registry to the path that was selected when picking windows user and salamander version at the beginning of editing process.

The export creates a *.reg file (fully compatible with Windows registry) from the tree structure displayed. The save functionality has internal safety measures to ensure the whole tree is written correctly. It uses similar mechanism found in databases - a transaction. Before actual saving process a backup of current registry is created. Only after a successful save has been performed the backup is deleted. In case of anything going wrong with the save process the backup is restored and user is informed about the issue.

The arrow buttons contain the same variable names as in Altap Salamander itself.
