7plus V. 2.5.0 - Improve Explorer/Win, Launcher, Automation
The files still dont show up in those listed in ProgramCache.xml so this obviously isn't how it works.
Right now the cache is only used to remember dynamically added programs. 7plus tries to remember programs which are running so it can launch those even if they aren't included in the directories.
It's been a while since I wrote that code, but I intend to review most of the 7plus code before the next release.
An event for watching a directory or a file that would be triggered when ever the directory or file is changed.
What would you suggest about browsers? The problem is that I won't be able to support every browser out there. Most have some sort of extension system where you might find appropriate extensions anyway.
bk youtube (bk would stand for bookmarks, and perhaps when you type this it could show all your bookmarks in the drop down incase you forgot what you called it - but if you continue typing youtube it would be narrowed down of course.
It would just be handy to store your most visited sites in 7plus and have them in one place as sometimes you might swtich browsers and the one you are using doesn't have the bookmark you want!
A built in address book would by handy too
Long in the making but worth the wait. After about 10 months the next version of 7plus is finally ready. Many parts of it were rewritten once again to allow for more flexibility and less limitations. Many of these things will be noticeable in tiny details, such as these:
- Events now execute while the event editor window is open
- Slide windows now work much better and also support child windows
- Explorer status bar: Enhanced information is now displayed separately for every window, not just the active one.
- Improvements centered around Accessor, too many to name here
- Simplified hotkey configuration
Apart from this work under the surface there are also once more many new features such as these:
- Explorer replace dialog for filenames and file contents with many functions
- Improved screen capturing with editor dialog, screen area capturing and image hoster support (imgur.com) as well as the known FTP support
- A settings page that contains generic windows settings that remove annoyances from windows that would usually require registry modifications or other advanced methods.
- URL shortener (WIN+S)
- Automatically close windows update dialog to get rid of this annoying notification (disabled by default)
There are also many other smaller features and bugfixes which can't be listed here. For details, check out the changelog.
For manually downloading 7plus, check out the Downloads section. Autoupdates should download when you start 7plus. Please report any bugs, submit comments, etc. You know the procedure!
have you seen anything.ahk ?
Its related to 7plus, but with an intuitive, underlying, extensible framework.
7plus is also very extensible, all triggers/conditions/actions and accessor plugins can be created with little modifications to other files (include is required and in the case of Accessor plugins an entry in a list is needed).

The next version focuses very much on the integrated launcher, called Accessor. I have written over a dozen plugins for it that allow to perform all kinds of common tasks.
What i would suggest is to reduce the number of options that are enabled by default, to make 7plus noob friendlier (say, window docking, always on top right click feature and some easy stuff could be on). And let advanced users choose advanced features.
Looking forward to the new Accessor! Keep up the great work!
