+# Developer Notes
+
+This document is for the `dev` branch only. Do not publish it on `main`.
+
+## Screenshot and Testing Startup Switches
+
+Taskbar Launcher supports a few command-line switches to open specific UI surfaces for documentation screenshots and manual testing:
+
+```powershell
+TaskbarLauncher.exe --show-settings
+TaskbarLauncher.exe --show-about
+TaskbarLauncher.exe --show-launcher
+```
+
+- `--show-settings` opens the Settings window after startup.
+- `--show-about` opens the About window after startup.
+- `--show-launcher` opens the launcher popup after startup.
+
+These switches are not part of the normal user workflow. They exist so development and documentation captures can be repeated cleanly.
+
+## Future Ideas
+
+These ideas are intentionally tracked on `dev` only. Do not publish them on `main` until a feature is built, tested, and ready for users.
+
+### Open All for Menu Sections
+
+Add a simple right-click action on menu and submenu headers:
+
+- `Open All`
+
+Expected behavior:
+
+- Right-click a top-level menu or submenu title.
+- Click `Open All`.
+- Launch each direct child item in that section.
+- For nested submenus, decide later whether `Open All` should include only direct items or recursively include nested children.
+- Skip unsupported items safely and show/log a clear result if something cannot be opened.
+
+This keeps Taskbar Launcher focused as a launcher. It gives project-style behavior without adding a full project dashboard.
+
+### Project Launcher Concept
+
+Parked for later as a possible personal/custom feature:
+
+- Project item type with actions for folder, VS Code, terminal, docs, Git/Gitea page, local server, Docker Compose, and helper scripts.
+- Could become useful, but it is larger than the current public app direction.
+- Do not start this until the simpler `Open All` behavior is tested and proves insufficient.
