Format follows Keep a Changelog. Each version includes a Reported section listing what was detected/reported, followed by the actions taken.

[1.0.7] - 2026-08-05

Reported

  • Copying camera settings between CineCameras — and more generally reusing a tuned actor's Details panel values on other actors — required manual property-by-property work (Discord feedback, Bongane_VizDev, originally scoped as "Camera Presets" and generalized)
  • Quick access to the Sequencer's animation curve editor from the wheel (Discord feedback, Bongane_VizDev)
  • Adding a new CineCamera + camera track on the Sequencer timeline from the wheel (Discord feedback, Bongane_VizDev)
  • No way to carry a tuned Quick Menu configuration (hotkeys, gestures, appearance, console commands, Quick Panels) from one project or machine to another — everything had to be redone by hand
  • With two Quick Menu panels open at once (e.g. one docked in the Level Editor, one next to the graph editor), each panel kept its own copy of the shortcut values: editing a key in one did not update the other, and the stale display made it easy to end up with conflicting bindings
  • The Live Preview tab duplicated what the real wheel (and the graph editor preview) already shows — it took a whole tab slot for little value
  • Tab reordering existed since 1.0.5 but nothing hinted that tabs were draggable
  • New wheels defaulted to the classic wedge layout even though the plugin ships with Force List Mode On All Wheels enabled — the per-wheel setting and the effective default disagreed

Added

  • Setup Transfer (.qmsetup) — export / import the complete plugin configuration as a portable JSON file, from Plugin settings > Setup Transfer:
  • Export covers every config setting by reflection (hotkeys and gesture bindings, node-spawn shortcuts, custom console commands, activation mode, active graph, all appearance values) plus all Quick Panels (same graph/node reference model as .qmpanel)
  • Import asks for confirmation before overwriting, then applies instantly: settings persist to the project + per-user inis, the wheel hotkey re-binds, and the pie menu refreshes — no editor restart
  • Quick Panels import additively: a panel from the file is recreated only if no existing panel has the same name; your current panels are never overwritten
  • Validated cross-version: setup exported from a UE 5.8 project imports cleanly into a UE 5.0 project
  • Property Clipboard — the 49th action node (Actions > Actor): copy the whole Details panel of an actor and paste it onto any selection:
  • Copy Properties captures every editable property of the first selected actor and all its components — exactly what the Details panel shows (asset references included; instanced component references excluded)
  • Paste All Properties applies everything to all selected actors in a single undoable transaction — except relative Location/Rotation/Scale, excluded by default so targets don't teleport onto the source
  • Paste Properties… opens a picker window grouped by actor/component, with search, All/None, per-property value previews, and a live Paste N properties onto M actors button; relative transform entries start unchecked
  • Cross-class smart paste — pasting onto a different actor class writes only the properties that match (components matched by name, then by class; same-type check per property); everything else is skipped safely
  • Paste actions stay hidden until something has been copied; the clipboard is session-scoped
  • Sequencer Op: Toggle Curve Editor — show/hide the focused Level Sequencer's curve editor from the wheel. Uses the direct ISequencer API on 5.7+ (the 5.8 MVVM sequencer asserts when the toolbar command binding is executed from outside its own UI context) and the native ToggleShowCurveEditor command binding on older engines
  • Sequencer Op: Create Camera + Cut Track — one wedge spawns a CineCamera at the viewport camera position, binds it to the open sequence (spawnable or possessable following the Sequencer's Create Spawnable Cameras setting), creates the Camera Cut track, and locks the viewport to the new camera — same behavior as the Sequencer toolbar button. Direct FSequencerUtilities::CreateCamera on 5.7+, native CreateCamera command binding on ≤ 5.6

Changed

  • Shortcuts now have a single source of truth across every panel instance — a new module-level OnShortcutsChanged broadcast fires on any binding change (panel shortcut rows, the settings details view, graph editor command chords, setup import); every open Quick Menu panel rebuilds its Shortcuts tab from UQuickMenuSettings on the next tick, so all instances always show the same live values
  • List is now the default wheel display mode — new WheelOutput nodes (and the generated default menus) are born in the list layout, matching the Force List Mode On All Wheels default; the classic wedge wheel remains one click away on any WheelOutput
  • Default tab order is now Panels, Shortcuts, Plugin settings, Docs, Console Cmds, About — and the first tab in the bar is the active one when the panel opens (users who already reordered their tabs keep their arrangement)
  • Tabs advertise their drag-reorder — each tab shows a small drag-handle icon (stronger on the active tab) and a Drag to reorder tabs tooltip
  • Live Preview tab removed — the panel is down to 6 tabs; appearance tuning feedback lives in the wheel itself and the graph editor preview

Fixed

  • Setup Transfer buttons were unreachable — the Export Setup… / Import Setup… UI was orphaned behind an early return in the settings tab build code and never appeared on screen; the section now actually renders at the bottom of Plugin settings (found while wiring the shortcut sync; also purged ~800 lines of dead legacy settings UI from the same function)
  • Two shortcuts could silently share one key across panel instances — consequence of the per-panel copies described above; with the shared-source rebuild, every instance now reflects a binding change immediately

[1.0.6] - 2026-07-09

Engine Support

  • UE 5.8 supported — the supported range is now UE 5.0 – 5.8. The dev project moved to 5.8; the removed GLevelEditorModeToolsIsValid() engine function is shimmed in QuickMenuCompat.h (QM_LEVEL_MODE_TOOLS_VALID() checks the LevelEditor module on 5.8+)

Reported

  • Users wanted floating/dockable custom button panels reusing the wheel's graph/action system — reuse action nodes, Custom Python actions, Sequence nodes, icons, labels, colors, and visibility conditions, but displayed as always-visible toolbars ("Lighting Tools", "Optimization Tools", "Placement Tools"); radial menus stay for hotkeys, panels keep tools visible (user feature request)
  • While rotating or resizing the wheel / list with the middle-mouse gestures, actions stayed hoverable and could fire on hotkey release or click — tuning the wheel could accidentally trigger whatever slid under the cursor
  • The Icon Size multiplier bottomed out at 0.5 in the Quick Menu panel; icons could not be fully hidden. Same floor applied to the in-wheel radial-button scale gesture
  • Scaling Radial Button Size grew the button background but not its content — the label stayed at a fixed 11pt and the icon followed the wheel scale instead of the button scale
  • Vertical gaps between radial-button rows were much larger than horizontal ones: buttons sat on a perfect circle whose radius was tied to the (invisible in list mode) pie outer radius × Wheel Size, so large wheel scales inflated list-mode spacing
  • The center EDIT hub scaled with Wheel Size in pie mode but stayed frozen in list mode; users wanted the list-mode scroll to also resize the hub, independently from the pie-mode size
  • Wheel labels were hard-coded bold; users wanted a regular font by default with bold as an option
  • Radial-button cells drew a drop shadow that could not be disabled
  • The graph editor's right-click action menu opened with every category expanded, unlike Blueprint's collapsed-until-search behavior

Added

  • Quick Panels — pin any action into small dockable toolbars that stay visible while you work:
  • Panels are nomad dock tabs: they float above the editor by default and dock anywhere like any native panel; position/docking persists with the editor layout
  • New Panels tab in the Quick Menu panel: create, rename inline, open/close, delete (with confirm), export, import
  • Live sync with the graph — button labels, icons, and Python visibility conditions track their source nodes (context-hidden actions render disabled, not hidden); actions re-resolve at click time so they use the current editor context; deleted nodes show a removable Missing action row
  • Blueprint-style add menu (SGraphActionMenu): instant search focus, a From Active Graph section listing configured actions/submenus/sequences, and the full 48-action catalog — picking a catalog entry creates a fresh, unconnected, auto-labeled node in the active graph (parked below the graph, undoable, never affects the wheel)
  • Drag & drop from the wheel — click-drag any wedge (pie, radial-button, list, and submenu items) past 8 px to carry it out of the wheel with an icon+label decorator and drop it on any panel (drop highlight); the wheel stays open during the drag, nothing can fire mid-drag, and a successful drop dismisses the wheel
  • Right-click a panel button → Edit Action… opens the same inline property editor as the wheel's right-click (new window-hosted mode), Remove from Panel unpins the button without touching the graph
  • Export / Import .qmpanel — panels serialize to a portable JSON file (name + graph/node references) for sharing between teammates on the same project, with success/failure notifications
  • 4 starter panels present by default (Viewport Essentials, Placement Tools, Lighting Tools, Optimization) — seeded once per project on first run, backed by a generated, fully editable /Game/QuickMenu/QM_PanelActions graph (no shipped .uasset, so no cross-version asset issues); deleting a starter panel is permanent
  • New module dependencies: Json, DesktopPlatform
  • Text Size Multiplier (0–3) — scales all menu label text (wedges, radial buttons, list rows); measurements follow so button/list widths stay consistent
  • Bold Text toggle — wheel labels now render Regular by default; opt back into bold from the panel or Project Settings
  • Button Drop Shadows toggle — radial-button cells and list panels draw flat by default; shadows are opt-in
  • Center Button Size multiplier (0.25–3) — scales the center EDIT hub on top of the mode scale; the pencil glyph and label scale along
  • List Hub Size multiplier — the hub has its own size while a list/radial-button layout is active; scrolling in list mode adjusts distance and hub together without touching the pie-mode wheel size

Changed

  • Icon Size and Radial Button Size minimums relaxed from 0.5 to 0 across the panel spinboxes, Project Settings clamps, widget setters, and in-wheel gestures — 0 hides wedge icons entirely
  • Radial button content scales proportionally — font, icon, and paddings follow RadialButtonSizeMultiplier; measurement and rendering share the same scaled font so truncation and hit-testing stay consistent
  • Radial button orbit tightened — anchored to the center hub instead of the pie outer radius (so Wheel Size no longer inflates list-mode spacing), arc packing reduced to 65% of the widest button, and buttons now sit on a vertically squashed ellipse (×0.7) to close the row gaps
  • Wheel click execution moved from mouse-down to mouse-up (standard button behavior) to make room for the drag & drop gesture; release-in-place behaves exactly as before
  • Graph editor right-click menu is Blueprint-style — categories start collapsed and only expand while the search text matches entries inside them (AutoExpandActionMenu(false) on both root and subgraph editors)

Fixed

  • Actions can no longer fire while editing the wheel — during middle-mouse appearance gestures (rotate, resize, gap) hover is locked and cleared so nothing highlights, expands, or executes; after any adjustment (scroll resize, list distance, gesture release) a 0.35 s grace window closes the wheel without firing and the stale hover is dropped, requiring a deliberate re-aim
  • Center hub radius stays in sync with the material renderer — the DeadZoneRadius scalar was only pushed at material init; it now refreshes every frame, so hub resizes are always visually accurate
  • Inline property panel renders correctly when hosted in a window — new bInWindow mode skips the wheel-overlay anchor canvas and self-hit-test-invisible visibility that clipped and offset the content in the Quick Panel edit popup

[1.0.5] - 2026-05-18

Reported

  • Plugin settings edited via the Quick Menu panel or Project Settings > Plugins > Quick Menu did not persist across editor restarts — changing the open-menu hotkey, switching the active wheel, toggling "Show Add Button In Wheel", "Allow Wheel During Play In Editor", or editing custom console commands all reset to defaults on next launch. Only wheel graph asset edits (.uasset) and per-user appearance overrides (icon size, wheel size, wedge gap, gray wedges, …) were correctly saved — every other UPROPERTY(config) setting was lost (reported by external tester)
  • The Quick Menu Panel duplicated information across a top header and a bottom footer block (logo watermark, "Quick Menu Panel" title, "Active graph: …", "Open the wheel with V. Shortcuts, docs, …", Docs/GitHub/Website links) — the footer essentially restated what the header already showed
  • The live wheel preview was embedded inside the Project Settings tab via a vertical splitter, taking ~half of that tab and competing with the property editor for space; making the wheel bigger pushed it over the property list and capped the area available for editing settings
  • Active Wheel: … had its own dedicated row above the tab bar, claiming vertical space for an always-visible status indicator that rarely changed
  • Header and footer link sets overlapped (GitHub in both, Documentation/Docs duplicated) while Website was only reachable from the footer
  • The panel header reused a flat row layout (logo / title / pill / version / Report Bug / picker / links) that scaled poorly on narrower windows and lacked visual hierarchy
  • Tab order in the panel was hardcoded; users could not promote their most-used tab to the front
  • Right-clicking a SubMenu wedge in the live wheel to edit its icon opened the inline property panel with an empty picker — only (None) and (Custom Texture) were listed; the curated brush list was missing, leaving no way to pick a built-in icon for a SubMenu without going back to the graph editor

Added

  • Live Preview dedicated tab — moved the live wheel preview out of the Plugin settings tab into its own top-level tab, sitting between Plugin settings and About. The wheel now fills the full available height of the tab and resizes responsively. Source picker (Demo / Active Graph) stays in the section header. Content refreshes automatically when entering the tab (UpdateFooterForActiveTab)
  • Drag-reorderable tabs — every panel tab (Shortcuts, Docs, Console Cmds, Plugin settings, Live Preview, About) can now be grabbed and dragged to reorder. Hovering a tab shows an open-hand cursor and a subtle background highlight; dragging swaps to a closed-hand cursor and shows a floating decorator widget (the tab label) following the mouse. Drop targets show a thin accent line on the left or right edge depending on the cursor's X position within the target tab, so users can precisely insert between any two tabs. Order is persisted per project in EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini under [QuickMenuPanel] TabOrder=… and gracefully handles future tab additions (any missing tab id is appended at the end)
  • Website link surfaced in the header — quickmenuplugin.com is now reachable from the main header (was previously only in the now-removed footer)
  • Inherit Mode to Children option on WheelOutput — new UPROPERTY in the Appearance category (checked by default). When the wheel is in Radial Buttons (list) mode, all submenus opened from it now cascade as vertical list boxes instead of falling back to wedge rings, keeping the visual style consistent across nested rings. Unchecking the option restores the previous alternating behavior (root in list, submenus in wedge). Wedges mode is unaffected. Implemented in SQuickMenuWidget::UpdateHover by resolving the root UQMGraphNode_WheelOutput (via ResolveWheelNodeFromItems with FallbackWheelNode fallback) and folding the inheritance flag into the existing List rendering branch alongside the global bForceRadialButtonsForAllWheels setting

Changed

  • Project Settings tab renamed to Plugin settings — clearer label that distinguishes our in-panel settings UI from Unreal's own Project Settings > Plugins > Quick Menu window (which the help text inside the tab still references)
  • Header redesigned as a hero card with grouped controls — the entire top header is now wrapped in a tinted ToolPanel.DarkGroupBorder for visual containment. Row 1 promotes the brand: 44 px logo, bolder title, and a smaller dimmed subtitle (v1.0.4 · RELEASE) that replaces the previous version pill. Row 2 groups the active-graph controls inside a bordered toolbar block (Graph: <picker> [+ New] [↗]) with a thin vertical separator and the active wheel chip (Wheel: <name | None>) to its right. Row 3 hosts the inline links (Discord GitHub Docs Website). Header reads brand → controls → links from top to bottom
  • Documentation link renamed to Docs — consistent with the new header and shorter for a tighter row
  • Active Wheel: … status moved into the header — was a dedicated row above the tab bar with its own label; now lives as a small chip on row 2 of the header next to the active graph picker
  • Footer block removed — the bottom logo + Quick Menu Panel title + Active graph: X + Open the wheel with V + duplicate Docs/GitHub/Website link strip is gone. All useful info already lives in the header
  • Plugin settings tab uses the full height — the vertical SSplitter that used to share the tab between the property editor and the live preview has been removed; the property editor now uses the entire tab height with its own scroll view

Fixed

  • SubMenu icon picker now shows the curated brush list — SQMInlinePropertyPanel::MakeIconWidget only populated the brush options when the target node was a UQMGraphNode_ActionBase; UQMGraphNode_SubMenu fell through and the combo was reduced to (None) / (Custom Texture). The guard now accepts both node types (ActionNode || SubMenuNode), so right-clicking a SubMenu wedge in the live wheel and opening Icon: lists the full set of common brush names (filterable via the search field) — matching the behavior already available on Action nodes
  • Inline property panel now opens for nodes whose only editable property is the icon — FQuickMenuModule::ShowInlinePropertyPanel pre-checked bHasEditableProps by iterating CPF_Edit properties while explicitly skipping IconBrushName / IconTexture / bCompact / bAutoLabel; ActionBase / SubMenu nodes that had nothing else to expose were rejected with a Not editable inline toast, even though MakeIconWidget would have rendered a usable icon row for them. The check now short-circuits to true for UQMGraphNode_ActionBase and UQMGraphNode_SubMenu, so the panel opens with at least the icon picker
  • Plugin settings now persist across editor restarts — UQuickMenuSettings is declared as a defaultconfig UCLASS (writes to Config/DefaultEditor.ini), but every write path used SaveConfig(), which does not reliably route to the default config file for defaultconfig classes. All ten write sites in QuickMenuSettings.cpp, SQuickMenuPanel.cpp, and QuickMenuModule.cpp have been switched to TryUpdateDefaultConfigFile(), and an explicit TryUpdateDefaultConfigFile() call has been added at the end of PostEditChangeProperty() so edits made through Project Settings > Plugins > Quick Menu also persist. Affected settings: OpenMenuKey, ActiveGraph, HotkeyBindings, bEnableCustomGestureHotkeys, NodeSpawnShortcuts, EditWheelKey, ActivationMode, bAllowWheelInPIE, bShowAddButtonInWheel, bOfferCreateWheelForUnknownContext, bDefaultAutoLabelEnabled, CustomConsoleCommands, bLevelEditorPanelAutoOpened, and the internal migration flag

[1.0.4] - 2026-05-12

Reported

  • Project Settings and the standalone Quick Menu Panel exposed overlapping plugin settings with inconsistent structure and duplicated editing paths
  • Changing the main wheel shortcut could appear synchronized between the panel and Project Settings, but the wheel did not always open with the new key at runtime
  • The standalone panel had become harder to follow than the actual plugin settings hierarchy
  • Show Flag was limited to a small hardcoded list, without search, and did not match the hierarchy/tree organization of the viewport Show menu
  • The new Show Flag picker initially only existed in the inline property panel, so the node body in the graph did not expose it directly
  • Custom Python could not pick an icon like other node types
  • Choosing an icon from the custom node dropdown could crash the editor when the graph rebuilt during selection
  • SubMenu nodes could list QuickMenu.* icons in the picker but fail to render them correctly in the node header
  • The wheel's wedge order could not be customized — users could not predict where each item would land or rearrange them visually (Discord feedback, KovAlex)
  • Wedge orientation was fixed; users wanted to rotate the whole wheel to align items the way they expect (Discord feedback, KovAlex)
  • The inline rotation field on WheelOutput lost focus mid-drag, forcing users to type values instead of dragging
  • Rotation did not apply to radial-button (list) layouts — buttons stayed at fixed cardinal angles regardless of the configured rotation
  • No way to create new assets directly from the wheel — users wanted to spawn Material, Level Sequence, Blueprint Class, etc. into the Content Browser without leaving the wheel (Discord feedback, KovAlex)
  • Open Asset froze the editor when picking heavy assets (large levels) — selecting in the dropdown forced an immediate full asset load just to remember the reference
  • Open Asset could crash or visually freeze the wheel for several seconds when targeting a Level (UWorld) — LoadMap ran synchronously while the wheel was still active and showed its own progress dialog over the still-open menu
  • Graph Op > Create Comment Around Selection always targeted the last-focused Quick Menu graph editor — even when the user was actively in a Blueprint / Niagara / AnimBP graph, the comment landed in the wrong place
  • New nodes added via the wheel inside a Blueprint (BP Add Node) spawned in the upper-left of the visible viewport instead of where the cursor was when the wheel was opened
  • Hover detection in radial-button (list) layout ignored the wheel's per-graph rotation: the angular fallback used a hardcoded 0–360° range, so a wedge under the cursor lit a different button than the one under the actual mouse position
  • List Menu Distance was hard-clamped to a narrow [-100, +200] range, preventing users from positioning list menus arbitrarily close to or far from the wheel
  • Mouse wheel scrolling inside an open submenu resized the entire wheel instead of cycling through the submenu's options, and the visible "downsizing" of list-mode wheels secretly scaled list-menu distance, mimicking a middle-mouse drag and pulling lists toward the center
  • List-mode submenus only registered hover when the cursor was inside the list rectangle — pointing toward an item from the side without entering the rectangle didn't select it, unlike pie submenus where direction alone is enough
  • Pressing the Create-Group-Comment shortcut (C) or Name-And-Color-Comment shortcut (Alt+E) with several Quick Menu graph editors open could create the comment in the previously focused editor instead of the one the user was currently looking at
  • Quick Menu graph asset comments rendered with a custom title bar (an inline "Group Color" label + color swatch button) and so behaved subtly differently from Blueprint comments — users wanted full parity with the standard Unreal comment node
  • In list / radial-button mode, mouse wheel resized the buttons while middle-mouse drag adjusted list distance — the inverse mapping (drag = scale, wheel = position) matches the convention most users have from other DCC tools and frees the wheel for the most common adjustment
  • Graph Op actions (Auto-Layout Graph, Align Horizontal, Align Vertical, Auto Name & Color Comments) only operated on Quick Menu graph editors — triggering them from a Blueprint / Niagara / AnimBP / Material graph silently did nothing
  • 5 separate Switch node types (Switch: Editor Context, Switch: Editor Mode, Switch: Blueprint Context, Switch: Selection Count, Switch: Actor Class) cluttered the flow node menu and forced users to know in advance which kind of routing they wanted before placing the node; a single Switch with all options behind one searchable picker was preferable

Added

  • Enable Custom Gesture Hotkeys toggle — Tap / Hold / Drag gesture resolution can now be turned off so the runtime falls back cleanly to the legacy Open Menu Key + Active Graph path. Defaults to off while the gesture system stabilizes; the bindings list stays editable but visually dimmed when disabled, with an inline notice explaining the fallback
  • List Menu Distance setting — new appearance slider that pushes or pulls list-style menus and radial-button rings toward / away from the wheel center. While in list / radial-button layouts, middle-mouse drag (the same shortcut as Wedge Gap in pie mode) now adjusts this distance live (DIST readout in the wheel center) since Wedge Gap has no meaning in those layouts
  • Searchable Show Flag picker — Show Flag nodes now expose a dedicated picker with name search and a hierarchical tree aligned with the editor viewport Show menu
  • Custom Python icon support — Custom Python nodes now expose the same icon picker flow as other nodes, including brush selection, custom texture support, and title-bar preview
  • Per-graph wheel rotation — each WheelOutput now has a Rotation (°) property persisted with the asset. Rotate any open wheel live with Shift + middle-mouse drag (0.75°/px, hold Ctrl for ×0.1 fine mode); reset to 0° with Shift + double middle-click. Live numeric overlay shows the angle during drag and fades out 1 s after release. An inline SSpinBox on the WheelOutput node stays in sync both ways with the runtime shortcut. Optional snap mode (off by default) and snap angle (0 = auto 360°/N) live in the panel
  • Wheel Edit Mode — drag-and-drop reorder — open the wheel and press Alt to enter Edit Mode (background dims, "WHEEL EDIT MODE" label appears above the wheel). Click + drag a wedge / radial button to swap with another. While dragging:
  • The source slot is left visually empty — the item is "in your hand" as a card-style ghost following the cursor
  • All other slots are repainted in a uniform neutral grey so category colors don't compete for attention; a pulsing amber outline (Pie mode) / pulsing border (List mode) advertises every valid drop target
  • Hovering a valid drop slot fills it with bright orange and previews the swap in place — the source slot shows the target's content, the target slot shows the dragged item, mirroring what will happen on release
  • Submenu expansion is suppressed during drag so users can drop on parent wedges without the children popping open
  • Both wheel layouts are supported: pie wedges and list/radial-button mode share the same drop-slot affordances (empty source, grey background, pulsing outline, orange target)
  • Persists by swapping the LinkedTo arrays of WheelOutput MenuItem_N pins inside an undoable transaction
  • Click-to-edit drag in QuickMenuGraph asset preview — the live wheel preview inside the graph asset editor now lets users click + drag wedges directly to reorder, without first toggling Edit Mode. Each drop auto-exits the mode. Changes flow back to the WheelOutput pins so the runtime wheel reflects the new order on the next open
  • Wheel Edit Mode Activation setting (Toggle / Hold) — choose whether Alt toggles Edit Mode (default — press once to enter, again to exit) or activates it only while held. Exposed as a Toggle/Hold pair in the panel
  • Create Asset action node — new action that creates an asset in the focused Content Browser's current folder. The factory class is configurable via an inline picker on the node (search box + scrollable list filtered alphabetically by display name, showing the produced asset class), populated from every UFactory that satisfies ShouldShowInNewMenu() && CanCreateNew() — i.e. the same set of asset types as the Content Browser "Add" menu. Factories that need extra input (BlueprintClass, structs, etc.) chain through ConfigureProperties() so the engine's parent-class / type pickers appear as expected. Names are auto-generated as New<ClassName> and made unique within the target folder; the new asset is selected in the Content Browser on success. Toasts a clear message when no Content Browser is currently open
  • Submenu navigation by mouse wheel — when a submenu is open (pie or list/radial-buttons), scrolling the mouse wheel cycles its options instead of resizing the wheel. A 250 ms sticky window prevents cursor jitter from immediately overwriting the scroll-picked item, and the hover lock survives across UpdateHover rebuilds so parent-ring re-detection no longer pops/recreates the submenu underneath
  • Directional hover for list submenus — list-mode submenus now react to the cursor's direction the same way pie submenus do: pointing toward the list (even past it) selects items by Y projection, and going back toward the wheel center exits to the parent ring. The hit area is unbounded outward and lightly padded above/below the list extent
  • Unified Switch node — single new flow node replaces the 5 specialized switch types. Each case is independent and can match any of the 5 predicates (Editor Context, Editor Mode, Blueprint Context, Selection Count, Actor Class) — the same Switch can mix heterogeneous cases (e.g. case 0 matches an Editor Context, case 1 matches a Selection Count, case 2 matches an Actor Class). Cases are configured via a single searchable combo that lists ALL options across all 5 categories at once (~60+ entries — Editor Context | Sequencer, Editor Mode | Landscape, Blueprint Context | Components, Selection Count..., Actor Class..., etc.); typing in the filter cross-cuts categories (e.g. "blueprint" surfaces Editor Context | Blueprint, Editor Context | Anim Blueprint, Editor Context | Widget Blueprint, and all Blueprint Context | * entries). *::Custom enum values expose a side text input for the Tab ID / Mode ID / Mode Name. Selection Count cases show an int spinner. Actor Class cases show the standard class picker. The combo button always shows the synthesized <Category> | <Value> label so the case is readable at a glance. Runtime resolves cases in order, first match wins, falls back to Default pin. The 5 legacy Switch classes still compile and work — they will be removed in a follow-up release once existing graphs have migrated
  • Graph Op actions work in any graph editor — Auto-Layout Graph, Align Horizontal, Align Vertical, Auto Name & Color Comments (and the previously-fixed Create Comment Around Selection) now operate on the focused SGraphEditor regardless of editor type (Blueprint, Niagara, AnimBP, Material, …). Generic algorithms live in a new QMGraphOpUtils helper invoked when the focused graph is not a Quick Menu graph. Selection capture before pie-menu open follows the focused editor — QM cached selection when the focused graph belongs to a QM asset, the editor's live SGraphEditor selection otherwise. Auto Name & Color Comments falls back to color-only on non-QM graphs (no SubMenu/WheelOutput to derive comment names from)

Changed

  • Quick Menu graph comments now use the engine-default comment widget — the custom SQMGraphNode_Comment override that injected an inline "Group Color" label and color swatch button into the title bar has been removed from the visual node factory. Comments inside Quick Menu graph assets now instantiate the standard SGraphNodeComment exactly like Blueprint, AnimBP, Niagara, Material, etc., so resize handles, contained-node move, title bar context menu, color picker and font size adjustment all behave identically to a Blueprint comment. Existing comments keep all of their data (NodeComment, CommentColor, dimensions) — only the rendering changes
  • List Menu Distance is now an absolute pixel offset — previously multiplied by WheelScale, so scrolling the wheel to resize secretly shifted list/radial-button menus toward the center, mimicking a middle-mouse list-distance drag. Now scrolling resizes the inner wheel (dead zone, ring, fonts) without disturbing the list distance the user explicitly configured
  • List Menu Distance clamp widened to [-10000, +10000] — was hard-capped at [-100, +200] in three independent places (UPROPERTY meta, settings save, runtime widget constants). Wide bounds keep the slider feeling familiar (-200 to +500) but typed values, runtime middle-mouse drag, and mouse-wheel adjustments are no longer silently capped
  • Unified Quick Menu settings hierarchy — plugin settings are now organized under clearer grouped categories (Primary Binding, Hotkeys, Interaction, Behavior, Appearance, Console) for a cleaner structure in Project Settings
  • Quick Menu Panel now mirrors Project Settings directly — the panel's settings tab now displays the same underlying UQuickMenuSettings object instead of maintaining a separate handcrafted settings UI
  • Primary binding sync tightened — the main OpenMenuKey / ActiveGraph pair is now kept in sync with the primary HotkeyBindings entry so legacy/editor-facing fields and gesture bindings stay aligned
  • Edit Wheel key exposed consistently — the shortcut used to jump from the wheel to its graph editor is now surfaced alongside the main wheel shortcut in the panel
  • Show Flag data model upgraded — Show Flag actions now store real Unreal show-flag names with backward-compatible fallback from the legacy enum, so existing graphs keep working while newly created nodes can target any engine show flag
  • Default Show Flag creation paths updated — generated/default Show Flag nodes now populate the new show-flag-name field so labels, picker state, and runtime toggles stay aligned
  • List / radial-button mode mouse interactions inverted — previously: middle-mouse drag horizontally adjusted List Menu Distance, mouse wheel resized the radial buttons. Now: middle-mouse drag scales the buttons (live SCALE x.xx readout in the wheel center), mouse wheel adjusts the distance to center. Both still persist immediately to EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini. Pie-mode behavior is unchanged (middle-drag still controls Wedge Gap)

Fixed

  • Main wheel shortcut rebinding — changing the primary wheel key now updates the actual editor command binding used by Quick Menu, so the new shortcut works immediately instead of only appearing updated in UI/config
  • Active graph sync drift — all "set active graph" flows now go through the same settings path, preventing the panel, content-browser actions, and graph editor actions from drifting out of sync with the primary binding
  • Fallback graph resolution — loading the active graph now correctly falls back to the primary hold binding when needed, which keeps runtime behavior consistent with the displayed primary configuration
  • Show Flag runtime resolution — toggling now resolves flags by Unreal show-flag name at runtime instead of being restricted to the old hardcoded enum set
  • Show Flag node graph UI — the new picker is now wired directly into the node body renderer as well as the inline property panel, so it is visible/editable where users expect it in the graph
  • Scrollable icon dropdown crash — SQMScrollableCombo no longer risks a use-after-free crash when a selection callback rebuilds the graph during icon picking
  • SubMenu custom icon rendering — SubMenu headers now resolve QuickMenu.* brushes through FQuickMenuStyle, so icons shown in the picker also render correctly on the node itself
  • Rotation in radial-button (list) layout — GetRadialButtonCenter ignored the ring's rotation offset, so radial buttons stayed at fixed cardinal angles even with a non-zero rotation. Now respects Ring.ArcStartDeg. Same fix applied to the side-attached child list anchored off a hovered radial button
  • Rotation SpinBox losing focus mid-drag — the inline rotation field on WheelOutput called NotifyGraphChanged() per drag tick, which forced the SGraphNode to rebuild and destroyed the SpinBox mid-interaction. Drag is now wrapped in a single transaction via OnBeginSliderMovement / OnEndSliderMovement with no mid-drag graph rebuild; typed-value commits keep their own scoped transaction
  • Radial-button hit detection ignored rotation — the angular fallback used when the cursor is between buttons used a hardcoded 0..360 range instead of Ring.ArcStartDeg..ArcEndDeg, so any non-zero rotation produced a constant hover offset between visible buttons and the wedge actually selected. Fallback now honors the ring's real arc range
  • Open Asset froze the editor when picking a heavy asset — the picker called AssetData.GetAsset() to store the selection, which forces a full synchronous load of the asset (catastrophic for large levels). The node now stores the path string only (AssetData.GetSoftObjectPath()) and resolves / loads the object lazily inside Resolve(). The compact button label shows the asset's short name; the asset registry provides the picker's initial selection without touching disk
  • Open Asset crash / long freeze on Levels (UWorld) — Item.Action.Execute() ran synchronously, triggering FEditorFileUtils::LoadMap while the wheel was still on screen with active timers and outstanding delegates. The action body is now deferred one frame via FTSTicker so the wheel dismisses cleanly first, and LoadMap is called with bShowProgress=false to stop stacking a modal dialog over the (still-closing) wheel
  • Graph Op > Create Comment Around Selection targeted the wrong graph — the action only knew how to find a FQuickMenuGraphAssetEditor, so triggering it from a Blueprint / Niagara / AnimBP graph silently created the comment inside the last-focused QM graph instead. A new generic helper walks the focused widget tree to capture any SGraphEditor (matched by type name containing GraphEditor), and a generic CreateGenericCommentAroundNodes builds a UEdGraphNode_Comment directly in any UEdGraph with widget-measured bounds, an undoable transaction, and a NotifyGraphChanged. Pure QM operations (AddWheelOutput, CollapseToSubMenu, PreviewWheel, SetAsActive, …) keep their existing QM-only path
  • BP Add Node spawned at the upper-left of the view — Blueprint nodes added via the wheel snapped to ViewLocation + (160, 160) regardless of where the cursor was when the wheel opened. The action now captures the cursor's graph-space position from the focused Blueprint editor at Resolve time (before the wheel takes focus) via Panel->PanelCoordToGraphCoord, and uses it as the spawn location. The original behavior is kept as a fallback when the cursor wasn't over the BP graph at the moment of opening
  • Comment shortcuts firing on the wrong Quick Menu editor — OnCreateGroupComment and OnNameAndColorComment were each bound on every open editor's GraphEditorCommands, so when several QM graph asset editors were alive Slate could route the keypress to a stale binding from a previously focused editor and the comment landed in the wrong graph. Both handlers now consult FindEditorFromUserFocus() and forward the call to whichever QM editor is actually under user focus
  • Graph Op > Create Comment Around Selection selection captured from the wrong editor — selection was collected from the QM cached selection first, then fell back to the focused generic SGraphEditor. With a QM editor lingering in memory while the user worked in a Blueprint, the QM cached set was non-empty and got used to compute comment bounds, so the comment was created in the BP graph but sized around invisible QM nodes (or skipped when the QM nodes were stale). Selection capture is now routed by which graph is actually focused: QM cached when the focused graph belongs to a QM asset, the generic SGraphEditor's live selection otherwise

[1.0.3] - 2026-04-17

Added

  • BP Add Node action — new action node that spawns an arbitrary Blueprint node via a searchable picker (replaces the need for per-node Blueprint nodes)
  • Open Asset action — new action node that opens any referenced asset in its editor
  • Inline property panel on graph nodes — action node properties (color, name, type-specific options, asset picker, BP action picker) are now edited directly on the node in the graph instead of in the Details panel
  • Gesture-based hotkey system — same key can bind multiple gestures (Tap, Hold, Drag) to different graphs, with configurable TapThresholdMs and DragPixelThreshold
  • Wheel usable during Play In Editor — new Allow Wheel During Play In Editor setting; hotkeys pass through to the game when disabled

Changed

  • Default for Force Neutral Gray Wedges flipped to true
  • Legacy OpenMenuKey + ActiveGraph are auto-migrated into HotkeyBindings on first launch (marked as Legacy in Project Settings)

Fixed

  • Play In Viewport / Play In New Viewport routing — Play Op actions now start the PIE session in the correct viewport based on the active editor context (Blueprint editor, asset editor, or Level Editor). Previously every variant defaulted to the Level Editor viewport regardless of which editor triggered the action
  • Set View Mode targeting wrong viewport — Set View Mode (Lit, Unlit, Wireframe, Detail Lighting, …) now acts on the currently focused viewport (Blueprint internal viewport when that editor is focused, Level Editor viewport otherwise). Previously the toggle always applied to the Level Editor
  • Subgraph exec connections lost during compat graph packaging — ImportNodesFromText resolved LinkedTo pins in text order; Subgraph ExecIn pins created later via PostPasteNode were silently dropped. Added RepairSubgraphExecLinks to re-parse the snapshot text and manually reconnect lost links
  • Fake enum variants in right-click node search — TFieldIterator<FEnumProperty> was surfacing inherited UEdGraphNode enums (EnabledState, AdvancedPinDisplay) as fake action variants (Enabled/Disabled/Development Only/Hidden/No Pins/Shown). Now filtered to only action-specific enums

[1.0.2] - 2026-04-10

Added

  • Wedge gap control — adjustable pixel gap between wedges (0–20px) in Settings, also adjustable live via middle-mouse drag on the wheel (shows "GAP X.X" in center)
  • Neutral gray wedge mode — "Force Neutral Gray Wedges" setting overrides all category colors with a uniform editor-style gray, adds dark separator lines between wedges with adjustable darkness
  • Interactive live wheel preview in Quick Menu panel — real-time preview of the active wheel with read-only interaction, updates as settings change
  • Level Editor docked panel — Quick Menu panel now registers as a Level Editor tab and auto-docks on first launch (persisted via layout, no longer a floating nomad tab)
  • Appearance settings persistence — Wedge Gap, Force Neutral Gray, Gray Separator Darkness are saved/loaded independently from Project Settings and persist across sessions

Fixed

  • "Select All Lights" selecting nothing — replaced deprecated ALight::StaticClass() with component-based detection (ULightComponentBase), now correctly selects all actors with light components
  • Graph operations targeting wrong editor — new FindEditorFromUserFocus() resolves the correct QuickMenu graph editor based on keyboard focus or mouse position, fixing Align, Collapse, Remove Unused Pins, etc. when multiple graph assets are open
  • Hover color too washed out — changed hover color from (55, 120, 190) to a flat (0, 88, 204) for clearer visual feedback

Changed

  • Quick Menu panel uses Level Editor tab manager instead of global nomad tab spawner
  • Appearance settings (wheel size, wedge gap, gray mode) are applied live from the panel preview and saved to a separate config section

Fixed

  • Submenu indicator white line now follows zoom correctly
  • Copy-paste preserves all exec pin connections between nodes
  • "Remove Unused Pins" works on all switch node types
  • Actions now target the correct graph editor when multiple assets are open
  • Switch nodes no longer allow duplicate Default/Defaults cases
