NANY 2013 Release: Customizable Remote Administration Panel (CRAP)

All right, I've tested it a little bit and indeed the 3 issues I had posted about in post #133 seem to be fixed.

I've noticed however that in the "Start in" field, it appears that CRAP puts the path it imported between double quotes, and that seems to not work exactly as expected as, for example :
- Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, when connecting to Battle.net, creates a BnetLog.txt file in the folder where it is started in.
If it is started from a button in CRAP where the "Start in" field has double quotes around it, then that file is created in the same folder where CRAP itself was started in
- The Dark Mod v2.12 x64 (it's a free game, get it from https://www.thedarkmod.com/downloads/ :) ) exhibits a similar behaviour, also creating its Darkmod.log file in the same folder where CRAP was started in
- Thief Gold, if its install.cfg file (that file basically tells it where to look for its resources) contains relative paths such as ".\", which is likely to be the case if it was patched up TFix (which is very much THE recommended unofficial patch package), will fail to run when started from such a button.

In all those examples, removing the double quotes around the contents of the "Start in" field from the buttons fixed the issues.

Now I didn't try to install those games in folders that had spaces in them, so I'm not sure if the double quotes would be required then or would still cause issues.

I will also get the quotes removed and hopefully those wont be needed for it after all.

CRAP BETA 2.1.0 build 60 now on the CRAP Beta Download Page.

BIG CHANGE -> Reworked how button's are identified to account for some of the D&D changes below.
A smaller change -> When files are dropped it should now filter out files that are not of correct file extension.
Additionally -> Some bugs were squashed and hopefully are dead.

Due to the BIG CHANGE I was able to implement the following...

Added more drag/drop operations for buttons.

Main Window D&D operations...
1. Shift + D&D = Move a button/separator within current layout (always placed to the left of button/separator you dropped it on).
2. Control + D&D = Drop a button on a "layoutlink" to give the option to move the button to that layout if it exists.
3. Control + Shift + D&D = Drop a button on a "layoutlink" to give the option to copy the button to that layout if it exists.
4. Note that you cannot move separators to layoutlinks as they don't require data to be entered anyway.

Move to Layout/Copy to Layout right click menu items for the equivalent of the above.

Note: Even with the "BIG CHANGE" no changes should be needed on your side with this version but let me know if you find a bug...

I have a small update coming to beta build 60 at some point soon. Anything else that I should take a look at from build 60 before I do put the small update out?

I have focused on optimizing some parts of the program with the latest to get it ready for the release build.

Well I'm sure yet if that's a good idea, but I've been thinking, perhaps it would be nice to have a layout-related option that would allow to hide the Variable field and Favorites menu, in case someone intends to use that layout specifically for shortcut type links that do not require any input?

Perhaps if that is something you would want I could possibly work it into each layout file and it will be up to each layout to specify if those are shown or hidden. If each layout I could add a Current Layout Settings submenu inside the Layout Management menu.  Perhaps as well another option would even be simply checking with each load of the layout files to see if all buttons have the option ignore variable text and hide and/or disable the top bar which wouldn't even require the extra option. If it found one that the variable wasn't ignored it would show it still. So there is some thoughts for you to consider for your original idea as well. I could probably do any of those mentioned or leave as is. Will let you decide if you think any is a good idea and let me know.

I did figure out how to get dark scrollbars and dark system menu/right click menu for the combobox/textboxes when on windows 11...
