Support/Help / Re: Context menu changed after upgrade, how to edit?
« Last post by dartraiden on 31 05 2025, 14:26:58 »Now (in the development version), you can see not only the UUID, but also service names
Knowing the name of the service that a menu item is associated with, you can add the same menu item to another menu using the MirLua plugin
Let's add an "Exit Miranda" menu item to the contact list menu. As you can see in menu editor, the "Exit" menu item (from the main menu) is implemented by calling the "CloseAction" service (see screenshot)
Install MirLua plugin and create a simple Lua script inside \Miranda NG\Scripts folder
AddExitMenuItem.lua:
Save script and restart Miranda or use "Reload scripts" button in Options -> Services -> MirLua
Congratulations, you have added a new menu item!
Now you can add more menu items
Maybe we will implement menu item creation directly in the menu editor in the future.

clist.AddGroupMenuItem({ -- as we want to add group menu item, we should call AddGroupMenuItem function from clist
Name = "Exit Miranda", -- name of the menu item (will be shown in the groups menu)
Service = "CloseAction", -- what service calls this menu item (we created this service function above)
Icon = icolib.AddIcon('exit', 'Exit!'), -- as we want to add icon to our menu item and put it to Customize -> Icons -> MirLua, we should call AddIcon function from icolib
Uid = '75EA040D-AC0E-40FA-9A3C-878210B0642C' -- unique GUID, you can create one on https://www.uuidgenerator.net/guid. All that is required of it is to be unique among all your scripts
})

« Last post by ghazan on 31 05 2025, 14:10:27 »aha, finally we've got an error.
so, can you move that Plugins/AVS.dll to another folder, if Miranda is running? I can, for example.
if not, run Process Explorer / System Informer and look for a process which holds this DLL
PS: maybe those DLLs have some parasite attributes like ReadOnly or System?
isn't disk E: write protected?

Bug reports / Re: При просмотре версии программы Miranda прекращает работу (Miranda crash )
« Last post by dartraiden on 30 05 2025, 19:18:55 »(см. crash20250530123832.txt)Нужно в настройках выбрать канал обновлений "версия с отладочными символами". Без них крашлог не содержит полезной информации.
Quote
Если в WINE выбрать версию Windows более свежую чем "Windows 2003", то иконки в меню становятся чёрными квадратиками, это неприятно. Хотя остальной функционал вроде был рабочий.Если под всеми поддерживаемыми виндами в Миранде всё нормально, а под вайном нет, очевидно, это проблема вайна и решать её должны разработчики вайна.
Есть ли в планах решить эту проблему?
На форуме winehq, один из разработчиков выложил исправленную dll-ку которая решает проблему чёрных иконок.В случае с нанокадом, как я понимаю, был костыль, который со временем стал приводить к пропаданию значков. Это не наш случай, у нас под вайн костылей в коде, вроде, нет. Ещё одно свидетельство того, что проблема в вайне - до какой-то версии вайна в любом вайновском режиме, даже в "Windows 2003", значки были чёрные. Потом они что-то исправили и в "Windows 2003" значки появились. Видимо, не до конца исправили.
P.S. Если владеете русским, можно не дублировать на английском, так уж вышло, что сейчас все разработчики Миранды (не считая тех, которые поддерживают переводы) русскоязычные

Bug reports / Теперь просмотр версии Miranda работает, но появились другие проблемы...
« Last post by peter_b on 30 05 2025, 06:07:19 »Вчера успешно обновил Miranda, теперь "Информация о версиях" отображается нормально! (см. ver_info.txt)
Bug > Правда теперь, при открытии некоторых бесед, окно беседы делается чёрным и Miranda падает, либо появляется заголовок окна беседы и Miranda зависает, а через некоторое время падает. (см. crash20250530123832.txt)

Связанный с этим вопрос:
Если в WINE выбрать версию Windows более свежую чем "Windows 2003", то иконки в меню становятся чёрными квадратиками, это неприятно. Хотя остальной функционал вроде был рабочий.
Есть ли в планах решить эту проблему?
Сейчас, я пытаюсь настроить NanoCAD 5.1 под WINE и там то-же были проблемы с иконками. На форуме winehq, один из разработчиков выложил исправленную dll-ку которая решает проблему чёрных иконок. Вот как он пояснил причину проблемы:
> YAL 2022-01-10 06:53:49 UTC
> As nanoCAD developer I've investigated this issue and here is conclusion: Long time ago WINE has a kind of bug in MaskBlt. I've made workaround under sort of "is_WINE" dynamic condition flag, that still persist in nanoCAD5 code (it's bad, I know, but we need to satisfy users at that time). MaskBlt already fixed in WINE and it works now exactly like in Windows, but my workaround caused now such drawing effect. I've built patched version of nanoCAD5 dll, so you can test it (zip attached).
Возможно, это даст идею?
С уваженем, Пётр.
Yesterday I successfully updated Miranda, now the "Version information" is displayed normally! (see ver_info.txt )
Bug > However, now, when opening some conversations, the conversation window turns black and Miranda crashes. Or the title of the conversation window appears and Miranda freezes, and after a while it crashes. (see crash20250530123832.txt )

Related question:
If you select a Windows version in WINE that is more recent than "Windows 2003", the icons in the menu become black squares, which is unpleasant. Although the rest of the functionality seemed to be working.
Are there any plans to solve this problem?
Now, I'm trying to set up nanoCAD 5.1 for WINE, and there were problems with icons there too. On the winehq forum, one of the developers posted a fixed dll that solves the problem of black icons. Here's how he explained the cause of the problem:

Support/Help / Re: Context menu changed after upgrade, how to edit?
« Last post by dartraiden on 29 05 2025, 07:23:12 »These menu items are duplicated in the menu called by the tray icon, so they were removed.
"Insert submenu" is designed only to create submenus, but not new menu items. You can drag existing items into a newly created submenu. Miranda cannot create new menu items.
Probably all this will be fixed in future versions so you can add the desired menu items back

Support/Help / Context menu changed after upgrade, how to edit?
« Last post by laci58 on 28 05 2025, 21:47:43 »Hello, after I migrated from my older PC to the new one I also wanted to upgrade Miranda to the newest version (I was avoiding the upgrade because of some problems with Google and FB plugin in the past).
But I noticed that unfortunately context menu (right click on the Miranda window) has changed.
I suppose that this is part of the upgrade and I can't avoid of this change of the menu.
Can I somehow edit it after the upgrade?
I tried to use Customize -> Menus, but I have no idea how it works.
When I click on [Insert submenu] button, I can only set the Name, I can't set the action for this new menu item.
Am I missing something or why is it even there in Options if i can't set it up according to my needs?
I am attaching the pictures of how the menu looks before the upgrade and after the upgrade.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
