Introduction

New for this version - popup menus for the folder contents of all files and folders icons. By just holding the mouse down for a while a popup of the folder and three levels of subfolders will be available. Chossing an item will open or launch it. If the command key is down a popup of the path will be shown.

Also you can make user definable actions, such as launch files just with a key press. You will need to pay the low $20 shareware fee to make the actions saveable.

The main features of this application are windows that can optionally float above other applications, hot keys to hide the windows or to switch to another app. This is the fast launcher, with many more options than others added on. Just drag any application, file, folder ..... anything at all really and it will add it to the launcher module, just click and away you go. Drag any files on to an application icon and it will launch it.

Quick Hints


Items can only be added to the launcher when the window isn't floating above other apps (this is due to certain technical difficulties)
The windows can be changed from floaters to normal windows by just clicking in the zoom box
Tabs will only be drag active when the window is not floating
YOu can set the hot keys to hide the floaters or to change the current application by using the keys.. item in the edit menu.
You can change the window to have top or side bars, by double clicking in the tab bar.
Double click on any of the modules to set the preferences for that module (not on the icons)
Tabs are now drag active so you can have a few modules in the same window and drag files to any without any hassles
Double click on the tab area to set the window prefs.
