I have 3 problems (propably related to eachother?)
Macro Menu of windows, with icons
The above code is from the archive.
Problem 1
The : is not correctly replaced (or this was done purposely?)
Should this line
be like this (?):
It then replaces the : properly.
But the problem is, when I modify it like above then when selecting a window that has a path (eg. c:\test) in the window title, then I get an error.
"Windows can not find..."
After you press "Ok" on the error pop-up it properly activates the correct window.
I think it has to do with
Problem 2
Another problem is with windows titles that begin with a *
Example, in notepad++ you can set the window title to show path.
When you edit an document, notepad++ adds a * in the window title (in the beginning) to indicate the document has been changed.
Example, you end up with the following in the title:
* c:\test.txt
When you run the above example script, the popup contains greyed out items which has those troublesome window titles (example: * c:\test.txt).
(Question) Possible problem 3
Do pipes in windows titles also cause problems with this script?
When I leave the script like above, problem 1 is resolved. Problem 2 persists.

;Shows dynamically created menu of currently open windows.
