  Hi guys.
  
  Monsieur Lalonde, firstly thank you so much for the greatest tool that, as someone commented in one QAP Youtube video, Microsoft didn't make.
  
  Well, my question is: I created a submenu with 3 different items, a folder, a text file and a project in VSCodium. Sometimes I need to open just one of the three, in this case the QAP works fine, once this is its purpose.
  
  But sometimes I'd like to open all the items in my submenu at once, but I'd like to save time (and this is the main QAP purpose   ) so is there a way to do it by just clicking on my submenu name, because to do it, for the time being, I have to create a group inside the submenu and add all my items inside it and update it every time I add a new item to submenu.
  
  I made a gif to illustrate what I'd like to achieve.
  
  Again, thank you so much for Quick Access Popup.
  
  Best wishes, and greetings from Brazil.

  Hi Jaris GV,
  
  I'd like to implement it if I could. But, as QAP is building its menu using Windows command this limits QAP to the behavior allowed my standard Windows menus. And clicking a submenu entry as you show is not possible with standards Windows menus.
  
  Thank you for your good words.

  Okay. Another way to do this would be listing the items in Group which only shows the number of item entries in it. I don't know Windows limitations regarding this function, but if possible, it would be great the same way.

  Not sure I get your point. Could you give an example?
  
  But this makes me think of an option that could be added to submenu item. Something like "Launch as a group option". For example, a submenu containing:
  
  

  Code:

  Folder A
Folder B
Folder C

  
  could be displayed like this if the option is enabled:
  
  

  Code:

  Folder A
Folder B
Folder C
[size=small]-----------------[/size]
[size=small]Launch as a group[/size]

  
  Selecting the last item would open the 3 folders.
  
  BTW, you could do it with QAP now yourself (add a group at the end of the submenu) but you would have to maintain both the submenu and the group in case of changes.

  Yes, BTW I'm using this technique to open all Submenu items at once, but not creating a group, because I would have to add item by item again and update it as I add new items to my submenu.
  
  So I'm using a .vbs file and naming it as "Open All Items", but would be nice if instead of creating a external VBScript file and adding it to submenu We could edit a .vbs right in QAP panel as in the simulation I did in this example below:

  That's the point I was trying to show you:

  Perfect !!!
  I read your reply again. It's perfect. Even better if 'Launch as a group' can stand above the items added manually.

  Hi,
  
  Editing a script inside QAP is not something I would do. The benefit of doing that compared to editing the script in any editor is not very important. About your last screenshot, clicking in the "Queila Sites <<>>" submenu header would be nice but is is technically not possible with the Windows menu tools QAP uses. I think that the solution I proposed earlier is doable and close to what you want.
  
  BTW, I will move this thread to the "Suggestion" section. We can continue the discussion there.
  
  Thanks for your input,
  Jean

  I had not read your last post before my reply.

  I was not sure if it should be above or at the end of the menu... Other users have opinion on this?
