The fact that you can just copy/paste your complex menu and it knows the post types is amazing. I can’t even begin to tell you how much time this saves! 🙂 Amazing plugin!

I just used this to create a menu in no time! The ability to just put the URL and have it magically pull in the correct post type and title is great. And automatically creating submenus based on indentation is a really nice touch. I would love to see something like this in core for better bulk menu entry/management.
