I have another enhancement wish...
I extensively use sub-menus in AutoHotPie.
To reach them from the editor, the current way is:
click the "Slice" object
get to the "Functions" tab
click "Edit Sub Menu"
--> the editor jumps to the sub menu
I think it would be much easier to get to the sub-menu directly from the editor preview.
A way of implementation could be:
double click on the Slice-Object
or a little drawn Dot, or another symbol like an arrow outside the slice-Object, that symbolizes that a sub menu exists. Click on the Dot would open the sub-menu
The way back is already implemented with the "To Parent Menu" Button.
To ease the use, it would be furthermore helpful to directly see in the editor which Slice-Objects are Sub-Menu functions.
That marking could also help in the real Pie-Menu, not just in the editor.
That way the user directly knows which of the menu items has an underlying sub-menu.
(To show, or not to show this in the real-menu could be an option check-box in the "Menu Appearance".)
A kind of marking to make it visible could be:
with the above mentioned marking objects
an extra surrounding rectangle box
a thicker borderframe
an slightly different colouring of the box, compared to the others (brighter or darker)
etc.
I don't know how big the effort is to implement such functionality but it would definitely improve ease of use.

Thanks for the great tool ;-)
