Full Version: What do you think about the new Wizard?
Please let us know your thoughts about the new Wizard in DHTML Menu Builder 3.5
I think that it is great but if you could include as many features as you have into the program into that wizard then you will be making a product that superberb...
This would be really useful if you could copy formatting from an existing project.
Also, it would be great if you could import from the web folder and then simply re-arrange or remove the options as appropriate. Here you would need to be able to promot or demote an option as appropriate and, to be able to set as sub-menus.
The import rules should include the number of levels to collect. Here I would suggest 1 level below each folder. It would also be useful to to able to specify folders to exclude from the import

Although it’s not very "functional" you can import the formatting from another project.
There're two ways of doing it:
1) (All Versions)
Click on File->Project Properties and click the Import button
2) (Version 3.6)
Open two instances of DMB
In one instance open the project from where you want to copy the style (source) and on the other open the project where you want to apply the style (destination).
Now drag and drop one of the items from the source project into the destination (you can drag a single command or a complete group).
The item will be copied with all its style attributes.
Now use the Copy/Paste feature to propagate the style from the dragged item to all the other items on the project.
When done, if required, delete the dragged item from the destination project.

As soon as version 3.6 is officially released we will start working on a plugin for DMB 3.6 that will scan folders to create site maps and menu structures.

Adding the above features along with database driven menus will put your product far above the competition. Very cool friend...

I've used the 4.0 wizard. It's good, but the funcutionality is a bit lacking. I think it needs a few more options
I think it's a welcome implementation. Just like any great product, it is just as intuitive for novices as it is for experts. Nice work!
