MenuMagic’s currently implemented features:

• Recognizes and automatically pre-Categorizes over 500 different plug-ins when program is run for the first time

• Thorough use of tooltips (mouse over hints) though out MenuMagic make the program easy to learn and understand.
• Sophisticated plug-in name managements tools such as
• Cascading find and replace options that can operate globally or on selected plug-in names
• Prefix or suffix plug-in names based on type (i.e. VST, VSTi, DX, DXi)
