2003-11-09: The linux version is now finally working. Some internal changes changing the BUTTON_UP to BUTTON_DOWN (see CHANGES for a detailed description). Linux is now able to run the apps from the menu. The profile is no closed after it has been written. This way it is no longer destroyed in case the LaunchMenu is crashing. 2003-10-14: The default behaviour for menus, under MS Windows, is that they should disappear when you release the mousebutton outside the menu or press the Escape key. This doesn't work for Launchmenu. You must select an entry in order to make it disappear, in case you decided you don't want to start an application. The Label of the menu can also be selected and has no function, so you can choose this, in such a case until this is fixed. The "Setup LaunchMenu" entry in the popupmenu doesn't work for now. You have to doubleclick the taskbar icon in order to get to the setup dialog. I don't think that this really counts as a bug, but I want to mention it anyway. When a window is resizable and it's border is exactly on the border of the desktop, then Windows captures the mouse for this border and changes it to the resize cursor. In this case the Hookfunction will not receive any events when the mousebuttons are pressed and Launchmenu can not display it's menu. Somtimes the ini file is not properly written and is destroyed. This only happens when the program is killed, though. In normal operation this shouldn't occur. 2003-10-01: Currently when a window has also a popupmenu defined, like the desktop, this menu shows along with the LaunchMenu. Somtimes the ini file is not properly written and is destroyed. This only happens when the program is killed, though. In normal operation this shouldn't occur.
