Agitated State releases MenuMagic v1.6.6.0
Posted August 14, 2011

MenuMagic is a specially designed tool for Sonar, Project5 and other Cakewalk DAWs that takes the concept of plug-in management to whole new levels. With MenuMagic you can organize your audio plug-ins (VST, VSTi, DX, DXi) in ways that you've only dreamed of before.
  • Organize your plug-ins as they appear in the Cakewalk DAW menus.
    For example with Sonar you can assign your menus to any of the areas where a plug-in menu is used such as SynthRack Synths, TrackAudioEffects, etc..
  • Sophisticated Name Fixing tools allow you to perform individual, group or global cleanup and renaming actions.
  • Synchronized plug-in organization between different editions of Sonar (Producer, Standard or Essential), Project 5 and other Cakewalk DAWs.
  • Identify and resolve problems with duplicate plug-ins.
  • Identify newly installed plug-ins.
  • Identify plug-ins NOT assign to a menu.
    All of this is and more done without modifying your Cakewalk applications!
With MenuMagic you can spend more time making music and less time managing your plug-in catalog.

This update is free to registered users.

MenuMagic version 1.6.6.0
New Features/Enhancements/Bug Fixes

General changes:
  • All dialog and message windows have either been updated or replaced through the entire program. So if you are using multiple monitors...
    • All message dialogs (notices, confirmations, warnings, etc.) should popup in the center of MenuMagic
    • Other types of dialogs (load or save file, etc.) will popup in the same monitor or if MenuMagic is straddling monitors whatever monitor contains most of MenuMagic.
Status tab changes:
  • Status messages that indicate that your plug-in menus may need to be updated are now color accented to stand out more.
    • Relevant status lines are now show in accented color if Cakewalk's VST Scanner has been run* since the last time you updated/created your Plug-in Menu(s).
      *Note:
      MenuMagic can detect if Cakewalk VST Plug-in Scanner actually made changes to Cakewalk's plug-in database.
      The "plug-in scanner last update" label shows the date of the last scan where there were changes to made to Cakewalk's plug-in database.
      So if you run Cakewalk's Plugin Scanner and Cakewalk's plug-in database has not been changed the date will remain unchanged.
    • When the notification labels are active the mouse over tooltips now will show the contents of these labels messages.
      This was done just in case your color scheme makes the screen message too hard to read (MenuMagic tries to select a color that is readable against whatever your current skin color is but if your pick something truly god-awful then this should help.)
Plug-in Info Grid changes:
  • The Bright slider in the Plug-Info Grid screen that controls the grid colors now behaves the same as the color mutation sliders in the Settings/Options tab.
    You can Ctrl-Click to return slider to its default position.
Dupe Fixer changes:
  • The Bright slider that controls the grid colors now behaves the same as the color mutation sliders in the Settings/Options tab.
    You can Ctrl-Click to return slider to its default position.
  • Fixed screen corruption that sometimes occurred when moving splitter (changing the size of the top vs bottom panel).
  • Fixed error that occurred if you changed the brightness slider then tried closing the Dupe Fixer before the screen had finished updating.
    Now the screen is locked until updating is finished.
Menu Creation tab changes:
  • Fixed bug in the "Scan for VST Plug-ins on Sonar/P5 Startup" area of the Foldout Control Center.
    • Was not working on Sonar X1.
    • Changed content of the 'done' message for more clarity

and various minor enhancements and fixes.
