Launcher Configuration

Configuration of FlashTray is done by selecting 'Configure' from the popup menu. This will show the configure screen with three tabs. The first tab is for the configuration of the launcher.

This screen is used to configure all the items that appear in the launcher popup menu.

Upper Part

In the upper part of this window there's an overview of the items in your launcher menu. The buttons of this screen have the following functions:

Insert Item: This button lets you add all types except dividers.
Insert Divider: Dividers can only be inserted with this button.
Insert Submenu: This button is specific for Submenus, although they can also be added with the 'Insert Item' button (and then select the submenu type).
Modify: This button enables the edit section of this screen where you can modify the properties of the item that is currently selected. In this lower part of the screen you can edit all the properties of your entry. Each different type of entry has different properties, which are described below.
Delete: Deletes an entry from the list.
Left: Lets you move an item up one level. You can only do this if the item is already in a submenu.
Right: Lets you move an item down one level. This can only be done if there are submenus defined somewhere above in the list.

There are also two buttons immediately right of the list with an up/down arrow. These buttons can be used to move an item to a higher/lower place in the list. Beware that if you use submenus the level of the items can change when using these two buttons.

The three buttons at the bottom of the screen are used to apply or discard the changes that are made to all the FlashTray configuration items (Launcher, Hotkeys and Options).

The OK button will apply all the modifications and write them to disk. The configuration screen will also be closed.
The Cancel button will discard all the changes that are made since you called the configuration screen (or since you last applied any changes).
The Apply button will apply all the changes, but keep the configuration screen open. This button will only be enabled when configuration changes have been made.
