Productivity - Miscellaneous (31)

It's me again, just wanted to tell you about the newest version released today, which features a program launcher like Launchy/Exekutor with many integrated plugins, among other things.

News post with screenshot of launcher: http://code.google.com/p/7plus/wiki/News20101101

As an additional information, 7plus supports running in portable mode by running it with "-portable" command line. Admin permissions are requested on startup by default, but 7plus will also run without them and you can disable the elevation dialog in the settings, at the cost of some missing features.

First, thanks Chris for such a complete piece of software. It makes a lot of thigs easier to many of us. For feedback I keep getting the "No file access to settings files in 7Plus directory. 7Plus will not be able to store settings." error when running from command line with -portable argument on version 2.5.0. (both x86 and x64). This issue appeared fixed on hithub, but seems to remain. Thanks for your time.

1. Freaked out, no - annoyed yes. Who says the latest version will be better - the user should have the option to autoupdate or not. This could be a deal breaker for many users.

2. Seriously, your app, what else! Every other app in the tray when double clicked will open up - yours should also. Instead, you have to right click then scroll to the Show/Hide option - too many steps for a simple function - again, annoying.

5.
...add 'autoupdate' to Options: as a checkbox.
...add ability to left click to Show/Hide app from tray.
...fix XP tray icon bug.
...add a 'Help' menu item that opens the help file located in the local folder. A link to the support forums could also be added as a menu item within the app.
...provide a 'changelog' - updates, new fetures, known bugs etc.

i spent 5min trying to find the "real download link". sorry couldn't download it.

v1.2 was an improvement for sure (don't know about 1.3) but this app still needs work in my opinion. The information comes by way of dialog boxes and I think I clicked 12, maybe 15 times to get the tool's details - wouldn't a .pdf file be much easier.

It is freeware, worth the effort, but as has been mentioned, even getting details on the website is a wild-goose-chase.

Follow the link above and look for the aqua colored "Download" button, about half-way down the page.

Btw, I believe the file is a single *.exe - 'system_silencer.exe' - when you run the file, settings are saved to a *.cfg file in the same directory.

Author's website says works only for IE, and not needed for Mozilla-based browsers. Synopsis should include comment about this.

Synopsis changed.

The tool does not seem to do much, compared with CCleaner!

@the_watcher - I'm on Win 8.1 and don't use Windows Explorer that often so I can't really verify. I use CubicExplorer.

billon: updated, thanks

Does anyone know of a way I could use this as a replacement "Sendto" menu. There's no software I've found that can do it. I would love to make my Sendto menu more portable when reinstalling Windows.

Hello,
