This looks neat. Reminds me a bit of OSX's Automator app.

Agreed. It's a cool idea. Will test.

Splat is nice, needs some improvements though.
It would be great to add RunWait in action list, which means run item and wait for its process (pid) to close before running next item.
Thanks

Added in the latest build (v1.0.2).

Thanks skwire,
Can you add a couple of things to splat:
-The ability to command-line splat
Example:
Code: Select all
splat.exe /profile:<profile_name> (/exit or /minimize) etc
-An option to add the above CMD to windows startup registry.
Thanks again.

This was already planned. I just need to find the time to add it. =]

Splat has a minor gui bug, see screenshot
.
Also, I can't find entry run state? min/max/hide.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Thank you for the bug report. Nice catch. I also added your request in v1.0.5:
Code: Select all
v1.0.5 - 2015-01-14
+ Added "Launch state" option to the Run action. (Thanks, Ganamyde)
* More detail in the Launch Log for Run events.
! Editing a "Run (even if running)" event didn't pre-set the radio button
properly. (Thanks, Ganamyde)

Wishlist:
High - stuff I'd definitely use
- Duplicate Task - probably via a right-click menu item
- More functions - delete/wipe, copy, move, etc. Basically this would just add additional intelligence into an easy automation program (I realize this might be overkill).
Low - stuff I might use down the road
- Clean Slate - include a sort of "closeall" operation for starting over (alternatively we could just run the "closeall" program).
- Self-destruct option - meaning to close after it finishes an operation
- Machine Power - Computer Sleep/Shutdown/Hibernate/etc.
- Disable Task - also probably via right-click. Thinking entry would turn gray until you right click on it and select "Enable". This would be helpful if you started to get a rather complex process together.
- Execute Hotkeys - also probably overkill but might be a neat way to integrate the program with MPH.

Possible bug: On my two monitor setup, I put the program in the second monitor, and then switched back to a 1 monitor view. The window won't appear, essentially behaving like there's still a 2nd monitor. This happened on a Win7x64 machine.
Workaround: hold shift and right click, then choose "maximize"

I'll consider this but you can simply do a ctrl+c ctrl+v operation in the meantime.

I'm tend to shy away from these types of operations since I
really do not like messing with user's files.

@Clean Slate: Yes, probably best to use CloseAll since that's what it's designed to do.
@Self-destruct: Just set your last action in a profile to close/kill Splat.exe. I've tested it and it seems to work.
@Machine Power: Already on my ToDo (and next in line). =]
@Disable Task: I like this idea.
@Execute Hotkey: Can you please clarify this? I'm not sure what you mean here.

Jody,
Some suggestions for Splat:
-Add checkboxes to your LVs, which means, checked is active, unchecked is inactive.
Sometimes I'm in a situation where I can't execute a certain item but don't want to delete it completely.
-Store and restore columns and their order.
Some columns are unnecessary or just clutter my view, so giving the user a choice to choose which columns to view/hide and the order of those viewed would be great.
-A small edit box to fuzzy-search items.
These suggestions should also apply to all your other apps.
Thanks and keep it up.
