MenuToGo 1.0

MenuToGo is a cross-platform, yet secure, Autorun on steroids. Developers can drop a menu into any folder or archive, allowing users to easily perform the most common actions on the archive, without requiring extra reading or knowledge of commands to run.<br /><br />Please email me to give your honest opinion. I am hoping that I can get this integrated into every distro, and need your help to do so.<br /><br />This is an implementation of brainstorm idea: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/7167/<br /><br />Features:<br /><br /> CROSS PLATFORM!!!! Runs in Linux and windows currently. But has been designed with portability in mind, so should also run on OSX, and other OS's with only a change to the options file (which you can do without needing to recompile)<br /><br /> Inbuilt variable system. You can create variables with specialised contents for operations, which can be defined based on NOT, OR, AND operations<br /><br /> Can identify if a file/program, environment variable or internal variable exists<br /><br /> Can compare the contents of a variable, text string, or contents of an environmental variable<br /><br /> Commands can be either text, or complex. Complex commands is a string composed of Environment variable contents, internal variable contents, or internal variable. In fact, you can even have requirements for only small parts of the complex command. So you may change the command based on whether the user is using RPM or DEB for instance. Or, change the command if they are using windows<br /><br /> Unlike Windows Autorun, will never autorun any programs. So you cant put a menutogo file on a memory stick, and autorun a trojan. The MenuToGo will always show up.<br /><br /> Secure. Whilst you can never guarentee the security in anything, this has been designed with security in mind. In fact, it is no less secure then normal. Users who are tricked into running programs normally, will just as easily be tricked with this. And users who wouldn't be normally tricked regardless, will be tricked just the same.<br /><br /> Uses the Xdg Base Directory standard. At the moment it is only implemented for per user config, however, will be extended in the future to fully support the standard. Some slight changes may have to be made though for other OS's (like /etc and $HOME doesn't exist on windows, so will fall back to something different for them). If you have ???*NsXDG_CONFIG_HOME???*N? currently defined as an environment variable though in any OS, it will use it.<br />
