Magic Formation - launcher

[Dayrider]

Sorry, not used to it anymore. No . behind the exe (my mistake)
..\cleana~1\cleana~1.exe
if it's x:\clean after me\clean after me.exe

Idk if anyone has gotten this, but mine keeps crashing before I can even open it. I've tried in Compatibality Mode, I ran as administrator, I did a raindance and I even tried other docks that do the same thing. What i've summed up is that .net framework is really really gay.

Works flawless for me on WinXPHomeSP3 and VistaHomePremiumSP1 32bits.

I used to have problems with .NetFramework on XP until I found this tool and used it to remove all traces and then did a clean installation.
Thank you Mr. Aaron Stebner!

Really cool program with a lot of promise but very buggy and it doesn't look like the developer is still working on it.

Good:

* Very easy to execute (the small circle with the mouse was great)
* Animation, editing of files, etc. all easy and smooth.

Bad:

* Options menu needs some help from somebody that actually speaks/writes good English
* Changing to driveless (\WINDOWS\notepad.exe) relative pathnames seems to kill the icon and you can't get it back
* Changing to relative pathnames (..\..\WINDOWS\notepad.exe) gives some kind of garbled error message and breaks the link
* Keyboard trigger sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

Freewaregenius seems to always play with new program launchers so hopefully something will come out to beat this one.

I really like the smoothness of this app. No launcher like this (dock-style) matches that.

But I stopped using MagicFormation when I finally organized my PowerPro menu (it might not look much, but it makes sense to me ).


Would I use MF on my flash drive (so I'll need relative paths)? No. I much prefer a menu like ASuite for that.

Tested: Portable (Still!)

I like the mouse gesture to show the menu, but Rocket Dock (in this category) still has a lot more going for it.
