When I tried to download tdmakexpms, I got file not found.

Anyway, I built the xpms myself. I have a lot of root images so my
image menus break them down by type, "animals", "space", "planes",
etc. Even with that, I still have lots of menus that are 4 or 5 deep.
I don't use dynamic menus, it's way too slow.

I gave your dynamic menu script a try with my setup.
Taking a screenshot of the dynamic menu fully expanded was a challenge
but I finally got it:
