Now then Tasty menu (or its tooltip) is open it no longer steals the mouse and keyboard input.
Plus fixed some other mini issues and there is a new shiny Finnish translation by Tommi Nieminen.
Get it while it’s hot!
Another bugfix for the menu

Beware the "Mighty?" 1.0!
Not having spotted particular problems in the rc2, since I’ve received a new (French) translation (thanks to Laurent Hilsz!) I’ve decided to release it as 1.0, you can download it here.
I’m pretty happy how it has come along, of course I will continue to mantain it with bugfixes or translations, but at the moment i consider it more or less “complete”
Maybe some day I will embark in a kde4 port, maybe making it a little Plasma thingie, but since I’m finishing university, uncertain rules, we’ll see 🙂
Tasty Menu 1.0rc2
Made a little bugfix release, you can get it here 🙂
Tasty Menu 1.0 rc1
Second release in two days 🙂 At this point I consider it pretty much feature complete, at least for KDE3, if there will ever be a kde4 version it will be more or less a total redesign, let’s see…
This release fixes only one bug but probably the most annoying: now the search field should be so much faster that it can be used for real 🙂
Get it while it’s hot 😛
Tasty Menu and Polyester tiny releases
Added Ukrainian translation to Tasty Menu thanks to Motsyo Vitaliy and a tiny bugfix into the configuation dialog of Polyester.
Tasty Menu 0.9
Updated today the poor ol’Tasty Menu, I basically added the last big feature that was missing: drag and drop from the menu to the desktop, and the usual refinements/bugfixes here and there. From now on I think I will only make bugfixes releases, maybe some day will begin to think about a kde4 port, but don’t hold your breath 🙂
Oh, and i’ve made also a little website for it.
The mandatory changelog:
-“Add to desktop” option in menuitems
-Drag and drop from menu to desktop
-Option to set different icons sizes in the three columns
-the button text label should always be of a visible color
-most used/recently used applications list updates in realtime
-clear most used/recently used applications list
-(warning1: deleting one list deletes also the other)
-(warning2: if you use opensuse you must have kickoff reverted to classic kmenu in order to use the recently used/most used lists)
-updated russian and german translations
Polyester2 updates
Polyester 2 seems to come along quite nicely, at the moment it look a little bit less disastrous than the first screenshot, but most important if you are impatient to try it, now there is a Bazaar repository at Launchpad.
Curious to see how it looks? here it is:)
Oh, and speaking of repositories, there is also a Tasty Menu repository on Google’s svn
Tasty Menu 0.8.2
Got another translation, in Spanish by Jes
Tasty Menu 0.8.1
Fixed a nasty bug i’ve introduced in 0.8 with drag and drop (if you try it on recent documents or the other lists it destroys the favourite list, LOL :P), but most important i’ve added a german translation made by Jannick Kuhr (thanks:D).
Grab it from the usual place.
Tasty Menu and other things
As I said in the previous post I consider Tasty Menu more or less complete respect the goals I had in mind. I probably will do some other releases tweaking here and there.
Probably this will be a better drag and drop support (from the menu to the desktop and from the second/third column to the first), fixing the ton of bugs I surely have introduced right now, maybe I will add a way to clear most used and recent used apps, some more configurability and who knows, to make the search functionality a little bit less painfully slow (/me begins to doubt that I will achieve to do that :P).
I still haven’t decided if there will be a kde4 port, partly because the spare time is always decreasing and mainly because Tasty Menu is very deeply tied to the qt3/kde3 technology. The listview api has totally changed (yeah, i know there is the qt3 support module but it’s so uncool:P)and of course the whole kicker thing is gonna being killed, and the (plasma?) replacement is in the early beginning. So it would be more a total rewrite than a port, so I don’t know if it will be worth the effort.
As I said I haven’t decided yet, so don’t desperate, there is still a little door open 😀
In the next few months I will be totally drown in courses exams and various university stuff, so probably there won’t be much releases of both Tasty Menu and Polyester.
Now I plan to make some more plain bugfix releases for both things (especially Polyester that has been negleted for a long time) and when (or if :P) I will have some more time there probably will be a Tasty Menu 1.0 release and maybe I will start the hyper-procrastinated qt4 port of polyester (and I ffear this also will be a very long work with more rewritting from scratch that I would like to)
