Environment:
Windows XP 32bits SP3

• Menus doesn't fit in default screen width,

CMD configuration:
bitmap font 12x16
Window size width:80 height: 25

• Non stop loop and reprinting 1st Menu.

Message: " CHOICE" is not recognized

is there any ReactOS user able to collaborate?
Just launching the script and submit screeenshot is something goes wrong would be appreciated.
Setting the script to launch a browser a try to open would be amazing :)

Users should have a .txt or .pdf document to help configuring and modifying source code.

Starting with the translation to bash script (testing in MacOSX term).

Linux testers are welcome

CHOICE is included
format /C:[options] ( C:1234HQ)

/M is not compatible with ReactOS
/C 1234HQ (compatible MSDOS 6.22) is not compatible with reactOS

ReactOS Default: windows size: 80x25

There is an incoherent behavior among the different ways to execute the script:

• sh menu.sh from terminal
• bash menu.sh from terminal
• ./menu.sh from terminal

and

• Finder "Open with" Terminal

Script starts with the Shebang/hashpling #!/bin/bash

In brief, in the the second case, the sentence declare -A produces an error whereas there is not error when using other methods

Some Chromium versions (not the old ones?) encrypt the user profile based on the machine SID

to avoid that and make more portable some new versions accept:
--disable-machine-id --disable-encryption

additional info:
https://chromium.woolyss.com/#secure-preferences

Purposes/Objectives:
avoid the need of editing the script file.
make easier for user without programming knowledge
allow to move the configuration to a new version of the menu
allow the sharing of a common config file between multiplatform Menu (Win and Mac/*nix)

At the moment the Bash version supports the usage of a config file :)

However:
menu for windows doesn't support this feature yet (batch)
config file is loaded instead of read the content (bash)
loading/call is less secure(bash)
load for windows will require a text, as variables are set differently(batch)

• CLI parameters are different from Firefox
  how to load a profile?
• Does K-meleon support FF27 extensions?

In Mac is possible to launch the script stored in a fat32 device, and also to execute the binary (inside the mac bundle package) stored at fat32.
Unfortunately, Linux requires an implicit execution permission and fat32 doesn't allow it yet.
