Remember windows 3.1? It worked more or less so...
I know this software, I used it in the past, but then I abandoned it because not particularly useful.
use instead http://www.launchy.net/ that you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbsv4fx4ycegreat, and you don't even have the icons under your eye, I have practically empty desktop

but if I'm not mistaken your alternative has the inconvenience to learn by heart all the links you impose. Is that how or does something escape the video?

I launchy use it as an internal search engine to the PC type windows search, you set the paths (also network disks) of search of files and extensions to be scanned, once it indexed in a second you find the files you are looking for, right from now on when you start typing the file name, of course if a certain extension is associated with a given program by sending in the search combo the file is immediately opened. you have very low search times.

You don't have to learn anything by heart. you just need to write the start of the program you want to launch and as he proposes you some suggestions.but if I'm not mistaken your alternative has the inconvenience to learn by heart all the links you impose.

you also have a calculator, and you can also launch certain web pages associated with certain words (e.g. "bank" associated with the online bank address).
all without having to touch the mouse because it launches with a key combination.
I didn't understand how you do... how does launchy look for files?I launchy use it as an internal search engine to the PC type windows search, you set the paths (also network disks) of search of files and extensions to be scanned, once it indexed in a second you find the files you are looking for, right from now on when you start typing the file name, of course if a certain extension is associated with a given program by sending in the search combo the file is immediately opened. you have very low search times.

In the launchy options (memory sink, as in the home PC is not installed) in the catalog tab, insert the folders/ disks/network address on the right, and on the left insert the various file extensions that you want to be indexed by launchy, to each folder/ disk/network address you can associate different extensions. once launchy scans the previously inserted folders (it usually does it when the pc is not too exploited).
Then for the rest you know how it works.
if interested I can make a small video as a guide.

Okay, but if I understand you don't find a double click on the software icon you want to launch anymore?
Fulvio Romano
Guest
depends. if you have, as I often see the desktop littered with icons happens as follows:Okay, but if I understand you don't find a double click on the software icon you want to launch anymore?
1) the system becomes slower for only having many icons (try to believe)
2) you have to "search" the icon, and it is often a thing that takes away even four/five seconds, which are an eternity if you do so many times a day and if you are under stress
3) if you access remote desktop to your pc, using a different resolution monitor, icons are all repositioned. then the five seconds of the previous point can become even ten
4) double-clicking means removing your hands from the keyboard, moving it to the mouse, centering the icon, double-clicking and then putting your hands on the keyboard. Now you're thinking that I'm a fanatical nerd who wants to save the clicks, but if you think about it, the keyboard shortcuts exist for this. exist 3d mouse that cost 400€ only because they bring the most common keys on the pad. Do you think only a nerd would pay these 350€ extra just to save a few clicks?

i for example autocad, the commands I use most frequently only keyboard, it takes too much time to look for them in the various menus.

to listen to those of the autocad courses (which are usually architects...I hate architects!) using the keyboard is wrong, because the right mouse button has a context menu that always offers you the most likely functions.i for example autocad, the commands I use most frequently only keyboard, it takes too much time to look for them in the various menus.
I actually tried it for a while, but the healthy keyboard habit is irreplaceable. . .

I tell you that when I use solid edge, I often mistake and continue to use the keyboard as if it were autocad, my colleague sometimes repeats it to me.....tastierista! ! ! !to listen to those of the autocad courses (which are usually architects...I hate architects!) using the keyboard is wrong, because the right mouse button has a context menu that always offers you the most likely functions.

I downloaded and installed launchy, more to prove than for a real need. I must say that the program is really nice, especially for the possibility to start the desired program or document. It is true that so the desktop is much more free. On the other hand, I have to say that for about 10 minutes the fan goes like a madman.

even the processor arrived at 48% and physical memory at 55%. Is it normal? Is it not that it does so every time I add or remove a file from the folders where you have to search?
Marco74
Guest
He does it when he indexes, but then everything should be normal.
riccardot5765

I saw, only that I had set the automatic indexing dafault every 10 minutes. But I have a pre-user question. If I have a file a and I scan it, if I renounce it in b and don't scan it again, then find it as b or should I always scan it? because otherwise I do not see the usefulness of making him look for documents, since they add and delete them all the time

You guys don't want me but we're going off topic.
we try to stay in the theme.
for file search I had opened a separate discussion and eventually use desktop google
