Discover SMWMTL
SMWMTL is provided with a bunch of features (in vulgar english, it comes with a shitload of features).
This application is meant to be very customizable, just because it's to the software to adapt to the user and not the user to adapt to the software (Isn't it Windows 11 ?! 😠).
In this page, SMWMTL will be described to be understanded by everyone (or almost everyone).
Application UI Overview
1. Main window

This section is entierly configurable, and is the main section of the application.
From there, you can start applications that you configured with a valid path (because tools are no longer provided with SMWMTL since 2.20).
2. "Sub-menu" section
This section countains all sub-options if an application have it, or some extra features like a second executable.

Not difficult to understand, it's my work so I protect it.

I'm still trying to improve this feature through versions, for better performance, better reliability and also less bugs.
