## Introduction

In this user guide is explained how to use the functions in E16 Menu Editor 2 v0.0.2. The main functions save, New Enty, Choose Icon, Delete Entry and Quit are available though the menu- and toolbar.

## Edit Entries

To edit an entry select first the row you like. Then select the cell you like to edit with a second click on Description cell or Parameters cell. The Description cell is shown in the E16 menu and Parameters cell is the command to be executed if the entry is no submenu. Otherwise the Parameters cell it's the submenus position and name.

The Icon cell couldn't edited directly like the description or parameters. Select Choose Icon in menu- or toolbar to open a new dialog to choose an icon. If you select an image the is a litlle preview for it. If you don't like the real image size or the limit of 64x64 pixels, there is a combo box to change the image size on the fly before inserting it into menu. A yet existing menu image could be removed with the Clear-Button. No files are really deleted if you press this button.

## Move Entries

The entries could be moved in the menu tree with the mouse. Drag an entry (or submenu) with the left mouse button and drop the entry at it's new position. But see the difference between moving an entry and creating a submenu. As you can see on the image there should be a line between the two entries where you insert the draged entry.

## Create submenus

Creating new submenus could be done with drag and drop. Simply create at least two new entries and then drag one over the other entry. But other that if moving an entry there's a small dotted line around the entry where the new submenu should be created.

After dropping the entry the new submenu is created. Now you can give an subdir and filename where the submenu is saved. This directory is relative to ~/.enlightenment. E16 Menu Editor 2 creates this directory, so you should't care about this.
