Hijack version 404 is now available. New features since v402 include:

;@MENUEXEC macros for config.ini are now fully implemented. This provides an easy way to run third party apps on demand through the Hijack menu. The config.ini syntax is pretty basic:
Code:
;@MENUEXEC menu_label exec command args


It is recommended, though not required, that the command be prefixed with exec (as shown above).

A final ampersand (&) can also be used at the end of the line to background the command when executed.

Also new in v404 is the "Reserved Memory for Apps" menu entry for use with v3alpha8/v2.01 and beyond (no effect whatsoever with earlier player versions). This provides a simpler alternative/supplement for "ReserveCache" lines from config.ini -- a way to tell the player not to gobble up all available system memory on startup. This is mainly for use with third party apps.

If you use this new feature, you should probably nuke the "ReserveCache" setting from your config.ini to reduce confusion, even though the two are compatible (and summed together in practice).

Cheers
