RE: Hide this favorite checkbox

Hi Horst,
I'd like to discuss this item a little more before going further. Let's say we have this favorites structure:
Main menu
-- Folder A
-- Submenu A
-- -- Favorite A1
-- -- Submenu AA
-- -- -- Favorite AA1
And let's say I implement the change as described in my previous message: checkbox "Disable" to hide and disable an item (or submenu) and a new checkbox "Hide" to only hide an item but keep its shortcut active.
(note: what is said for shortcuts above also applies to hotstrings)
1) If Folder A is disabled, we do not see in the menu it and its shortcut is inactive (as in current version).
2) If Folder A is hidden, we do not see it in the menu but its shortcut is active.
3) If Submenu A is disabled, we do not see it in the menu, its shortcut is inactive and the content of the submenu is ignored (as in current version).
4) If Submenu A is hidden, we do not see it but its shortcut is active, QAP also scans Submenu A (even if it not shown) to enable shortcut of Favorite A1, QAP also scans Submenu AA to enable Favorite AA1, etc.
So in 4) every shortcuts in favorites under an hidden submenu (including in its sub-submenus) should still be enabled. I think this is the way to go. But, given the current structure of the code building the menu, this will require more effort than I anticipated.
I want to make sure we have the same understanding on the desired functionalities. Let me know if you have questions or need clarification.
