Newsletter for November 4th, 2008 - Codename "Election Special" ...
I hope you'll forgive me for taking up a section of the newsletter this month to focus on recent updates that I've made to some of my larger programs on DonationCoder.com. The most notable update is to "LaunchBar Commander", my program that allows the user to set populate a dock with shortcuts to programs. The update provides a lot of new features and some long requested bugfixes. LBC now has a flexible hotkey system that allows you to assign hotkeys to specific launch bars or subfolders within launchbars, so you can now easily pull up menus at the cursor showing any subset of a launchbar tree. You can also use a hotkey to toggle the visibility of an entire dock. And keeping with this theme, LBC has a totally revamped auto-hiding/sliding implementation, which now works quite well. So you can finally keep your dock hidden offscreen until you need it. Screenshot Captor and Find and Run Robot have also been updated. If you've been manually downloading the beta releases of these two programs you won't see any dramatic changes, but if you've been using the prior stable versions, there are a bunch of new bugfixes for Screenshot Captor, and a bunch of new features for plugin writers for Find and Run Robot. And lastly, a note about the differences between Find and Run Robot (FARR) and LaunchBar Commander (LBC). Lots of people get confused about the overlap between these programs. Both utilities are used to launch programs and documents. The difference is that FARR is for keyboard maniacs, who need to locate programs by typing the name of the program, while LBC is for visual people -- who like to have a reminder on screen of their commonly used programs -- think of it like a souped up customizable version of the windows Start Menu. Personally I use both -- LBC for my more common programs, and then FARR for the less common ones.
