Absolute MAXIMUM Size of my QAP MAIN Menu
Chuck > 2024-02-17 00:21
HELLO !! ::
Could you Please Tell me::- What is the ABSOLUTE LARGEST Size That I can make the MAIN Menu {Where ALL of my PRIMARY Favorites Display}; AND
- What are _ALL_ of the Methods by which I can make the MAIN Menu its ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM Size?
- After I press the Hotkey to Display the MAIN Menu (NumDot in my case), I want SINGLE-Keystroke Access to EVERY One of my MAIN Favorites; {I ALWAYS assign an Accelerator-Key to EVERY SINGLE Favorite (Li&ke This)— SO that Every Favorite launches Via a Single keystroke}; And
- I ALWAYS Try to keep EVERY one of my Most Important Favorites (my MIF’s) ONLY ON the TOP-Most Menu—NEVER in a Submenu!

Hi Chuck. Welcome to the QAP forum.
There is no limit to the number of items a QAP menu can contain in general and to the number ot items in the main menu specifically. However...
Regarding the main menu, the limitation is screen space. If the menu gets too long, Windows displays only what is possible considering the screen height and adds little arrows to scroll the menu. This is very inconvenient. To increase the number of items in the main menu, you can:
- reduce the icon size to the minimum size 16 px (Options, Menu Icons)
- split your menu with columns breaks (Customize window, left column | button)
- or you can increase the screen resolution or buy a larger screen :-)
For the QAP menu in general, too many items increases the time it takes to refresh the menu and Windows can have a hard time handling a very large menu. Personally, I have between 350-400 items (plus the content of 5 live folders). -

Hello Jean!::
Wow!! That was a VERY Quick Reply – Thank You!!
That is Excellent AND Very Helpful to know!! SO, I will just keep adding & adding items to the Main until it becomes unwieldy. Since I am a Brand New User of your Outstanding Launcher, I just had a Concern that the (Rather Tiny) Starting-Menu might indicate a limit for me—BUT Now I see that it doesn’t:: GREAT!!
{{ ALSO: One Very TINY Issue—By the Way:: The Feature to Automatically "Add Active Webpage" seemed to produce No Response in my Browser—Perhaps Because my browser is the Gaming "Opera GX". BUT I WAS Able to ADD that Feature {along with a Unique Hotkey} by simply writing a TINY AHK Addon Macro—For which I was rather Surprised that they worked in Unison—being that they are both AHK-based, but it DOES cooperate excellently {{Perhaps because my SendMode is Play?– Dunno!!}} But QAP Simply Cooperates Perfectly with my TINY Add-On Macro; and I Have Used that Feature __LOTS__:: I have Many, MANY URLs in the Top-Most Menu — SO that’s Truly Excellent & Very Helpful!!}}
Thank You, Again, Jean for your (Very Quick) Assistance, Along with your Outstanding “Quick Access Popup”!!
I Hope you will Enjoy a GREAT Weekend!!
