Splat - program batch launcher

Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

I'll consider this, thank you.

In the latest version (v1.1.1), I fixed a bug where the Entries listview order was not saved properly. Thank you for the report.

Doubtful.

for Splat, would be useful to have built-in profiles to enable/disable hiberfile, pagefile, and any other stuff like that.

Are those actions really something you would repeat again and again? In other words, I don't really want Splat turning into a "tweaking" type of program. There are already plenty of those available.

yeah, good point. i added hiberfile on/off myself because i re-install clean OS quite a bit. others may not find that stuff to be too useful though.

I put together a Splat video that goes into some detail on all the great uses behind this tool:

Note that the audio is a little flat. I'll get that fixed next time.

Alternative to Splat (aka Webfork discovers DOS batch files)

Background: On a machine I work on, there's quite a few safeguards that I didn't setup. This is actually good for the site as it means I'm going to be working with PFW more often, but it does mean I don't have access to certain programs, including the favorite of 2015, Splat. This is painful because I'm doing a lot of reboots. Fortunately, I found something that helped with the batch file (care of MakeUseOf): http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/launch-mul ... atch-file/

Yes, Ditto is listed twice to get around the PA-format version restart issue.

What follows are a list of portable programs I have set to launch at setup that I stashed under C:\Temp:

Code: Select all

@echo off

cd "C:\Temp\"
start Start.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\ShareX-portable\"
start ShareX.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\DittoPortable\"
start DittoPortable.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\DaphnePortable\"
start DaphnePortable.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\WinSplit\"
start WinSplit.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\Everything\"
start Everything.exe

cd C:\Temp\PortableApps\streamWriter\"
start streamwriter.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\DittoPortable\"
start DittoPortable.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\PushMonitOff\"
start pushmonitoff.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\Textify\"
start Textify.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\AutoVer\"
start AutoVer.exe

cd "C:\Temp\PortableApps\SunsetScreen\"
start SunsetScreen.exe

Exit

I don't use splat myself but doesn't it have a command line option to launch a specific profile?
Seems like a trivial feature to add if it isn't there yet. (don't know for sure of course)

Code: Select all

splat -worktmp

I found a workaround for an issue I had with Splat some time ago where clicking on the column headers will shift the program launch order. If you put numbers at the beginning of any notes, you can just re-order by that column and go back to the original look

Note that for items over 10 you need to put a 0 ahead of the numberal or it won't go back into order (see #9 at the bottom)

This program is almost exactly what I want; the one additional option I'd like is the option to run programs as administrator.
