ProSwitch 1.2 ReadMe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ProSwitch is an utility which makes it easier for you to switch between
running processes (i.e. applications and DAs) under System 7.
Features include six fully configurable "hot keys" for switching and
hiding (or showing) the windows of background processes, and the option
to switch with a click on the application menu's icon (a la System 6).
To install ProSwitch, put it in the "Control Panels" folder inside your
System folder and restart your Mac. To configure it, double-click on its
icon and read the text in ProSwitch's "About"-box.
Version History:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.0
was unable to skip background-only processes like file-sharing.
1.1
fixed the problem with background-only processes and introduced
the "Click-Switch" feature. This version was never released.
1.2
added a checkbox for "Hide on click". v1.2 looks at events before
DAs get them, so the calculator DA won't beep at you any longer when
its switched out with ProSwitch.
Plans:
~~~~~
I am thinking about implementing keyboard equivalents for processes.
As an example, imagine you could type "Control-W" to bring Microsoft
Word to the foreground if its already running, or launch it if it isn't.
If you like to see this, let me know… (And don't forget to read the
About-box!)
