Today we have released what will most probably be (if we don’t discover any minor issue) the last Control Runner v3 version.
What’s new on this version
It seems that we are constantly tweaking the same things over and over. This time we have had to correct again the issues that have been addressed in previous minor versions, i.e. the loading of the configuration files and the CPU Load monitor.
But there are two new things:
- We have created a new way of testing if Control Runner is already running. It seems to work much better.
- We have completely rewritten the code to manage Program buttons. You won’t notice anything probably, but the new system is much faster (this should be apparent when you resize the main window). It will also enable enhancing the program buttons in the next Control Runner v4.
What’s the future of Control Runner
We had a plan in June. That plan involved working on the new version of Control Runner at the beginning of next year.
For various reasons that will be explained in detail in the following posts, we have changed our mind. And Control Runner v4 will be our next product released.
Keep posted. I’ll start revealing secrets very soon.
Version 3.4.4 - Windows XP
1. Explorer short cut takes me to My Documents.
2. Sync my Palm and then use control runner the icon becomes one of the icons in the application and when I click on a task it asks me to “Confrim Replace”
3. How do I insert url lync without first saving to a folder on my hard drive?
David,
1. I guess you refer to the Explorer button. Right? Yes. It does open Explorer on the My Documents folder. This will be changed on next version, where you will be able to select a different starting folder for this button (or hide it completely).
2. Sorry, I am not following you. Can you please elaborate your description of the problem (maybe you prefer to use our web form at http://www.momsoftco.com/contact.htm.
3. It is very simple, right click on an empty button and type the URL as in http://www.momsoftco.com.
