Application Launcher provides instant access to all your applications! Easily create a group of programs to be executed when needed.
Application Launcher provides instant access to all your applications! Easily create a group of programs to be executed when needed.
Using a transparent mini-window that hides on the right edge of your screen until you activate it with your mouse, the application launcher lets you list programs, documents and folders you want to be able to start fast. The application resides in the System Tray.

If the added programs are shortcuts then a working directory should be specified. I added one program that calls a help file stored in the same directory as the app but no help file displays. Otherwise this is a very fine application.
The program compiles with D5 after minor modifs. However, it is impossible to delete an application, as the Apps list gets completely corrupted.
The reason: The author mixed up indexes between the INI numeration and the holding ARRAY indexes…
I corrected all of the problems, and made the following modifications:
0 Deleted “.EXE” from displayed apps’ names
1 Program functions faultlessly
2 User can change time of disappearing window (= inactivity)
3 The program is bi-lingual (French and English)
4 Help is available in both languages
5 Many functions are _also_ keyboard driven
6 Possibility to rename of the displayed
app’s names (right click on the desired name)
7 Option to temporarily stop the program’s popping up (right click on the seen window)
I’d gladly send the sources to the author.
Eitan.
Hey, good work improving that app! I just looked back into this out of curiosity. I made this quickly in an afternoon so I’m not surprised I left some bugs in it. haha
Feel free to send it to me at csuttlin at hotmail dot com
Maybe we can get Zarko to replace my source with yours
