I'm trying to use arb but have to say that adding an alias to it is MUCH harder than adding something to FARR(find and run robot) or executor etc.joby_toss wrote:Not if you donate or become an older than 6 months DC's forum member.freakazoid wrote:Isn't FARR nagware?
ARB is great for launching things, web searches ... the hdd drive searching part is done using Locate32 in my case (also from ARB).freakazoid wrote:Haven't tried out ARB yet... annoying that it's hidden behind a Yahoo group!

Re: Launchy 1.0 beta
Re: LaunchyQt (program & document launcher)
Old topic update: the original Launchy (http://www.launchy.net/), a multi-platform program and document launcher, hasn't been updated since v2.5 released in 2010 (according to TPFC database: https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=663).
Note: there is a later v2.6 Beta 2 release listed at the site, also launched back in 2010 -- see sourceforge.net/p/launchy/discussion/871718/thread/dc44f51f/ for changes.
FYI, there is now a Qt based fork in active development named LaunchyQt:
Changelog and downloads at https://github.com/samsonwang/LaunchyQt/releases; latest release is v3.0.7, dated 2019-03-26.

LaunchyQt has two modes: installed mode and portable mode. The difference between the two is mainly on the storage location of the program configuration. When LaunchyQt starts, it checks if there is a 'config/launchy.ini' file in the software directory. If this file exists, the software will run in portable mode, otherwise the software will run in installed mode.
