  • The interface has been revised agaom (special thanks go to Heiko Eckendorf for the concept)
  • The issue where people were unable to create Jumplists is finally fixed

Version 6:

Known issues

  • Changing the maxmimum number of Jumplist-entries changes the number of recently used files all across Windows 7This can’t be fixed at the moment because both numbers are represented by only one number in the registry

To-Do

  • Multiple taskbar entries with different icons with just one instance of the program
  • Save settings as a XML-file
  • any ideas?

FAQ

Q: The program gives weird error-messages

A: The data is likely to be corrupt. In order to start fresh, delete all content of the icons-folder but

the folder itself and the ‘settings.dat’ which is located in the Jumplist-Launcher-folder

Q: How can I have Jumplist-Launcher pinned on the superbar with my own icon

A: Create a shortcut of the Jumplist-Launcher.exe and pin that to the taskbar

Q: 10 60 files/apps only? …I need more

A: You can copy the whole Jumplist-Launcher folder and paste it somewhere else.

Both Jumplist-Launcher.exe use different datasets and therefore can have different files/programs linked to them

    I am using version 7.2.0.8 and I have managed to select an excel spreasheet (using jumplist from the super toolbar) and then press the jumplist launcher button. Now I cannot open jumplist launcher using the left mouse button – all I get is the spreadsheet. Any idea how I can reset this so that I can modify jumplist launcher?

    • Jim

      Open the jumplist launcher (find it in Explorer and double-click it to open it).  Find the spreadsheet and uncheck it.  Then click on Save…, then on Update Jumplist.

    • Jim

      P.S.  You can also get to the same place by right-clicking the jumplist and selecting “Configuration”

  • Dpglky

    Is there a way to set the behavior so that when I pick on the icon it launches a defined program and right click gets me to the jumplist as well as edit it?

    Win7 SP1 here. Jumplist v7.2
    1. Get a german “File not Found” error if i use the parameter box. WORKS FINE if i set this file as Default though.
    2. Deleting the File does not clear out the parameter box.
    3. Changing the name, file, or parameter in the Tree view does not update the data in the form below (and vice versa).
    4. Checking the Create Tasklist and saving/updating the Jumplist clears out the Create Tasklist button you just checked.

    I am trying to use JumlistLaucher v7.2
    After configuring a few items, they do not show up in the start or the taskbar menus.
    There is only the “Configuration” entry.
    I am using Win7 Professional SP1.

    Note that the screenshots below correspond to an even more simple configuration and I edited them to remve the actual file location.
    On the other end, the default application setting seems to work.

    Any idea why?

    • guest

      Have you clicked on “save” next to max. items? This solved my problem when nothing was showing in the jumplist.

    • Rormeister

      Right Click the JumpList Launcher Icon to view your selections. Left Click accesses the configuration menu.

    1. Gibt es keine deutsche Benutzeroberfläche? Warum?
    2. Kann man keine Webseiten “anpinnen”, z.B. Facebook, XING, LinkedIn usw.?

    • GerSch

      zu 2. Ich habe mal eine Verknüpfung zu einer WEnseite auf den Desktop gelegt. Klappt leider auch nicht :-(
      3. Habe ich das richtig verstanden? Man kann nur eine Jumpliste mit dem JumplistLauncher anlegen, nicht mehrere, mit unterschiedlichen Icons in der Startleiste?

  • Symen

    Exactly what I needed, Thanks !!

  • Wascallywabbit

    Fantastic app you have created!! Greatly simplifies accessing a lot of the things I need without having tons of links pinned and I love it :) . Only thing I would like is to have a version that has an installer so if I install it on other people’s comps they don’t get screwed up. But, considering how good it is, I can live without that :)

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      If you have to install it to a lot of PCs you could create one yourself. I’d even host it here so others can download it.

      I myself like portable software so much that none of my programs have an installer (besides those for OSX).

      I don’t want to slow the users computer down by messing with the registry. Sadly thats one of the weakest parts of the Windows operating system.

  • Dfuzgf

    DANKE :)

  • Greg M

    I get an integer overflow every time I try to update the jumplist so I can not add or edit anything. Any suggestions?

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      That sounds strange. Please delete your config-files (in the Jumplist Launcher-folder) and try again.

  • Bryan Ray

    This is a really cool app. I would like to see a command line option to update the jumplist. I could then copy the settings.dat, the icons folder and the defaultstart.dat and not have to go to the configuration screen to build the jumplist. Just run the command instead. This would help me out with a non-persistant vmdesktop environmnet with folder synching.  

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      The new Jumplist Launcher will get that feature. It’s already on my todo-list.

  • Jonas Krispin

    Ein verdammt praktisches Tool!
    Man muss sich etwas reinfinden (evtl. wäre eine implementierung der Benutzungsanleitung praktisch, aber wenn du nicht Zeit übrig hast ists auch nicht nötig) aber dann ists super!

    Ich kann nciht abschätzen, wie viel Prgrammieraufwand das wäre, aber eine Sache hätte ich spontan auch für deine To Do List:

    Es wäre (für mein Nutzungsverhalten der Superbar) verdammt praktisch, wenn in der Jumplist eine “zuletzt verwendet” Liste zu jedem Eintrag, der ein Programm ist hätte. Als eine Art Ausklappmenü innerhalb der Liste z.B. Dabei könnte von der Logik her vielleicht die recent Liste des eigentlichen Programms dienen.

    Wie gesagt, ich kann nicht abschätzen, ob das machbar oder viel zu aufwendig wäre, nur mal als Gedanke :)

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      Danke für dein Feedback Jonas.
      Ich benutze ein Standard-Feature von Windows. Dieses lässt sich leider nicht um Aufklappmenüs erweitern. Zumindest nicht ohne die Jumplists komplett neu zu schreiben. Solch tiefschürfende Eingriffe in das System der Benutzer möchte ich jedoch nicht machen.

      Es gibt noch viele andere Anwendungsstarten bei denen Einige sicherlich solch ein Feature haben.

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      Thanks for the headsup. Since this issue comes up very often I’ll further investigate this when I develop the new Jumplist Launcher.

  • Yiboobaby

    it is really cool tool.it should have a better icon.and if it can executes two examples at the same time it could be better.my list is too long..

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      You can always customize the icon by creating a shortcut, changing its icon and pinning it to the superbar instead of the Jumplist Launcher.exe itself.

  • Mike

    Ich habe dir weiter unten folgende Frage gestellt:
    Obwohl im Jumplist-Launcher der max. Eintrag auf 60 steht, werden seit
    gestern nur noch 20 Einträge angezeigt. Kann mir jemand sagen warum?

    Du tippst auf meinen Monitor: Ich habe noch einen ganz normalen TFT 17″ Monitor. Auflösung: 1280×1064

    JumpList Launcher füllt auch nicht die ganze Höhe aus, trotzdem kommen nicht mehr Einträge!

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      Auf der Höhe sollten es weit über 30 mögliche Einträge sein. 
      Versuch mal nach dieser Anleitung http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-change-the-number-of-items-in-a-windows-7-j.html die Anzahl der Einträge zu ändern und sag bescheid ob es funktioniert hat!

    • Mike

      Hatte ich schon vorher probiert – hilft leider nichts! Woran könnte es noch liegen?

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      Es tut mir leid, aber da bin ich leider selbst mit meinem Latein am Ende. Das (waren) meiner Meinung nach immer die beiden Sachen, die die maximale Anzahl der Jumplist Einträge beeinflusst haben.

      Es kann natürlich sein, dass Microsoft da mit einem Patch in der Zwischenzeit etwas daran geändert hat. Im Zuge der Neuentwicklung des Jumplist-Launchers werde ich mich mal damit näher auseinandersetzen, aber das kann noch eine Weile dauern.

    • Mike

      Weist du schon wann die neue Version fertig wird?

  • Alvin Wong

    Can you make the icon shown in the taskbar different (i.e. customize).
    At this moment, it can be changed by replacing the resources ICON_1 and MAINICON using Resource Editor. Is it possible to allow internal replacement by the interface?The attachment shows my success in replacing the icon. You better complete the replacement before pinning the program, otherwise you’ll need to refresh icon cache…If it is impossible to do that internally, never mind. You can just add a tutorial.

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      Thanks Alvin.
      I did research about the internal icon. It is not that easily possible.

      There is a much easier workaround though than the one you describe here:

      Create a shortcut to Jumplist Launcher.exe, change its icon, pin it to the taskbar!

  • Donatas

    Handy app. One issue: I hate recently used app lists, I have disabled “Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar”. After this jumplist-launcher stops displaying the jumplist (except if it is a task-list). It’s a pitty – other programs show pinned program lists without problems. I guess that jumplist-launcher is somehow implemented “on top” of recently used lists, therefore it stops working when those get disabled.
    Even worse if I put registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer ->NoRecentDocsMenu = 1 or NoRecentDocsHistory = 1. jumplist-launcher cannot re-enable the setting and non-task-lists do not work at all.
    Proposal: implement the jump-list independently from recently-used lists.

    • http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog

      Yeah, I’ll do that in the new version. The old version relies on a very old library which may contain bugs. This issue is definitely on the todo-list.
