Slow menus and importing workspaces

[sking1001]

Hi...this is my first post.
I have just started to evaluate this editor and am really impressed.
Two things I haven't found an answer for yet...should be simple answers:

1) How do I turn off the slow animated menus (fading in)?
2) Is there a way to import my Visual Studio .dsw files? That would be really cool.

Thanks,
sking

Hi Sking,

How do I turn off the slow animated menus (fading in)?

I am really not sure how to answer this. Zeus definitely does not try to do any special menu processing so if you are seeing animated menus I am really not sure what is going wrong

Is there a way to import my Visual Studio .dsw files? That would be really cool.

Unfortunately there is no way to do this

Edit: Well, just checked my Windows' settings and that was the problem...animated menus were set. I guess all my other apps are just ignoring the settings.
Problem solved!

Thanks for the reply, jussij

'twas just a shot in the dark on the .dsw files...maybe I could write something if I can figure the format of the Zeus workspace files.

...so your menus just pop up quickly? That's really strange...I'll check my Windows' settings...

thanks again,

maybe I could write something if I can figure the format of the Zeus workspace files.

The format of the workspace is pretty straight forward. For example it is possible to create a workspace using a simple Zeus macro.

A utility to help with the creation of workspace files has been uploaded to the Zeus web page.

2) Is there a way to import my Visual Studio .dsw files?

Although this post is over two years old I'd like to mention, that it may be possible. However, I do not know VisualStudio, but seeing from some source-distributions I get the feeling, that most of the meta-data of a project is being stored in XML formatted configuration files.

If so, then it should not be too difficult to write a quick XSLT, that transforms the Microsoft project into a Zeus workspace, since that seems to be stored in XML format as well, and XSLT also could modify the .ini file, since XSLT just can produce any text-output.
