Launchy in Search Bar - Question for Telega/Kaelri
chiaroscuro Mon, 11/10/2008 - 04:13
________________________________________________________________
I am sort of curious.
Learnt about the Windows application Launchy only yesterday from Kaelri here.
And well I just wondered if it might be possible as an option to somehow launch a Launchy application from the Fast Dial Search Bar.
Or rather open a Windows application via Launchy from the Search Bar.
This would enable Fast Dial Users to possibly access directly their favourite Windows program directly from Fast Dial.
---
I also see that there is a Firefox Extension also called Launchy.
Maybe this would be easier for Fast Dial to run than the Windows application.
---
I suppose I was wondering at the most simple, if it might be possible to toggle in the Fast Dial search window, from the present Search Applications with their appropriate Favicons to Launchy with the appropriate Favicon.
In other words it could simply be another Option in the Search Bar Window.
If that option is selected the Launchy Favicon would be visible. This would mean that Launchy was active.
I wonder if this might in any way be possible, or desireable
I have had a quick look at the Firefox Launchy, and it is immediately apparent that it could be improved upon for user customisation.
________________________________________________________________
On further perousal it would seem that the Firefox Application Launchy is not very actively supported, but it is still already very useful to be able to open a Text editor in Firefox.

Will this work in Vista, is it likely do you think?

What are you referring to
Launchy as a Windows application ?

Yes, interesting is n't it.
Good luck.
Just have a look at all the links here

As regards Launchy as a Windows application, I have not tried that yet.
Alt-space brings up the Search Bar I think

I am trying to get the Firefox Launchy to work for me.

Use a zipping program such as 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
The zipping program in windows does not unzip rars.
