You can add, remove, or rearrange Open menu items, you can add frequently used Applications or AppleScript folders, and you can choose how to display the contents of folders.
Open Application Wizard and choose Window > Menus. Then click Open Menu in the sidebar.
To add an item to the Open menu, click the Add (+) button in the toolbar and choose the new item.
To add a folder to the Open menu, click the Add button and choose Folder. Browse and select the new folder and click Add. You can also add folders by dragging them from the Finder to the Open Menu list.
To change a folder’s name in the Open menu (in case you have added more folders with the same name for example), double-click it in the Open Menu list, type the new name, and press Return.
To rearrange items in the Open menu, drag them in the list.
To remove one or more items from the Open menu, select them in the list and click the Remove (-) button in the toolbar or press the Delete key.
To replace a folder, select it in the Open Menu list and choose Change Folder from the Action pop-up menu in the toolbar. Browse and select the new folder and click Change.
By default, Application Wizard lists the applications and AppleScripts contained in each Open menu folder in a single non-hierarchical menu. To view folders as hierarchical menus, select the “Make folder menus hierarchical” checkbox.
By default, Application Wizard synchronizes folder menus and the System Settings (macOS 13 or later) or System Preferences (macOS 12 or 11) menu every time you show them. To speed up the display of menus, select the “Turn automatic synchronization off” checkbox.
When automatic synchronization is turned off, Application Wizard builds menus just the first time you show them and then remembers them. To manually synchronize a folder menu (after installing a new application for example) or the System Settings (macOS 13 or later) or System Preferences (macOS 12 or 11) menu, hold down the Control key and display the menu.
