good stuffThe ‘Jumplist-Launcher’ comes to rescue!

It lets you add up to 10 60 programs or files within self-defined groups inside a jumplist, but see yourself:

Changelog

Version 7:

You can choose one default-entry which will be opened if you click on Jumplist-Launchers Superbar-icon. An entry will be added to your Jumplists which opens the configuration-window of the Jumplist-Launcher
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:

Every element can now be executed with command-line arguments (doesn’t make much sense for non-executable files though)
Shortcuts added via drag’n'drop will be dissolved to their target. This includes their arguments.
If somehow an icon couldn’t be loaded it will now be replaced by a question mark instead of throwing cryptic error messages at you
The interface and workflow to add files have been revised
People who weren’t able to change the max. number of jumplist-item should now be able to do so

Version 5:

groups and entries in the treeview can now be moved via drag’n'drop
after deleting items in the treeview icons don’t become mixed up anymore
after adding files via filebrowser the correct icon will now be shown in the treeview

Version 4:

You can now optionally create a tasklist instead of the normal one. This ones max. number of items isn’t bound to the max. number of recent items, however there is no setting for max. tasklist entries
fixed strange behaviour when moving items in the TreeView (e.g. files become groups)
multiple items can now be moved at once
the icons-folder will be created if it doesn’t exist (fixes the “Datei “…\iconInfo.dat” kann nicht erstellt werden.” bug)

Version 3:

You can add single files to the jumplist by dragging the file on the superbar entry of Jumplist-Launcher while holding the shift-key
Folder icons can be changed now
fixed a bug where icons are mixed up when you delete a folder icon
No more “Fehler beim Holen der Daten…” Error, instead it just disables the ability to set the number of entries in the registry if the value couldn’t be read

Version 2:

Up to 60 (before only 10) jumplist-items possible
You can change the maximum number of jumplist-items inside the program
New items are added in the correct groups now
Ordner können auch der Liste hinzugefügt werden

Features

no installation and rubbish in the registry
Creates jumplists with up to 10 60 programs or files which can then be directly started(Warning: The setting Max. Jumplist-Items changes the number of possible entries globally for the whole Windows-environment)
the jumplist entries can be grouped
An entry can be assigned to be opened upon left-clicking the superbar-icon of the Jumplist-Launcher
Every entry may contain command-line arguments
after creating the jumplist, no program needs to run in the background
you can have multiple Jumplist-Launcher-Icons (with different files/programs) on your superbar by copying the folder
files can be dragged into the Jumplist-Launcher from Windows-Explorer
Icon and name of the entry can be customized
Jumplist-items can be added by dragging single files on Jumplist-Launchers taskbar-icon while holding the shift-key

Requirements

Microsoft Windows 7 RC

Benutzung

Start Jumplist-Launcher.exe
Add Groups by clicking the ‘Add Group’ button and rename them by clicking on their name in the treeview
Add files/programs by either clicking on the ‘…’ button or directly dragging them into the Jumplist-Launcher window
You can reorganize the order of groups and files by selecting them in the treeview and pressing the up or down-button
if needed change the number of max. Jumplist-items
When you are done, click on ‘Create Jumplist’ to save everything and Create the jumplist
Pin the program to the superbar
Close the programm

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?

jumplistlauncher2

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

Zur Frage nach Features…
Mir sind grade 2 Sachen aufgefallen…
1) Wenn man mit Roaming-Profilen arbeitet, dann funzt das ziemlich gut wenn man sich den Launcher nebst Config da rein kopiert… leider erfolgt kein “automatischer Refresh” so dass auf PC2 nur die leere Liste ist bis man das Ding einmal startet und Refresh drückt… Blöde nur, wenn man ein Default-Icon definiert hat – dann startet er nämlich den eigentlichen Launcher nie und man bekommt (außer auf dem PC auf dem man das eingerichtet hat) nie eine Liste angezeigt
2) Ist es technisch möglich “als Administrator ausführen” irgendwie unterzubringen oder geht das technisch nicht? Ich starte mehrere Entwicklungsumgebungen von denen einige nicht ohne besagte Adminrechte starten…und abschalten kann ich die Kontensteuerung nicht. [Es wäre mir dabei egal, ob das ein Schalter am Icon ist oder ein optionales Popup] Aber wie gesagt: Keine Ahnung ob das technisch geht…

zu 1.) In der kommenden Version wird es einen Kommandozeilenparameter geben der die Jumpliste aktualisiert.
zu 2.) Da dieses Feature schon öfter verlangt wurde, werde ich mir da mal einen Kopp machen wie ich das in der kommenden Version unterbringen kann.

First off I love this app, it is exactly what I was looking for. My issue is that several times a day, when I right click on JL my list is empty. I have to open the configuration and click update Jumplist and then it is repopulated.

http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog
Do you have CCleaner installed?

Anonymous
When should “we” your audience expect an update?

http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog
Sorry, that I’ve been promising it for that long. I just finished my studies and have a lot of work to do. I’m planning to redo it soon though. First two DJ things, then I’ll update both WordPress plugins, then the new JL. That’s the plan for now.

http://twitter.com/ShinMagus Bernardo Luz
Asking for ideas? Ok.
How about switching jumplists when you left-click the icon? The icon could change to reflect this “profile change”.

http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog
Sounds very interesting. I’ll keep that in mind but redo JL first.

Mike
Obwohl im Jumplist-Launcher der max. Eintrag auf 60 steht, werden seit gestern nur noch 20 Einträge angezeigt. Kann mir jemand sagen warum?

http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog
Hast du einen anderen Monitor? Ich habe hier im Blog mal darüber geschrieben, dass die maximale Anzahl der Jumplist Icons von der Bildschirmhöhe (in Pixeln) abhängt.

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

hi if the settings were stored somewhere else i use ccleaner and it being tied in with the windows jumplist cleaning wipes out everything have to start from scratch seems like the time its set -up it gets wiped out i could uncheck the clean jumplist but i dont like leaving visted sites on the browsers jumplist is there a way around this thanks

http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog
There is no way that I’m aware of sorry. Maybe there is a way to not save visited sites as Jumplist entries in the browser?

Beim Starten einer Exe mit Parameter gibt mir das Programm immer den Fehler “Datei nicht gefunden.” aus.

Als Parameter ist dieser angegeben: cnf=T:OrbisKHVadminorbis_admin.cnf

Ich denke eher, dass ich da Mumpitz programmiert habe und den Parameter-String nicht richtige escape. Das wird in der nächsten Version gefixed.

Settings should be stored in the ProgramData Directory

http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog
No, doing this on a Windows-system is against my principle of keeping the
system clean and the program portable.
On a Unix and Mac-system I could live with that but Windows-environments are
messy enough already.

User data: c.users….
Programmdata: c.programmdata
thats the way microsoft sees it. At least, your settings arent stored in the program files folder, cause win7 virtualize this und put its somewhere else. Normal Users shouldnt have write access to the program files folder for security reasons. So its a good idea to store nothing else but exe and dll files there. Thats a principle of security.
sorry dont know hoe to answer in a different way
http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog
You are completely right on this one.
Still why don’t you like the way settings are stored inside the program-folder?

also irgendwie hab ich keinen blassen schimmer wie man die liste abspeichert. bei mir gibts nur den update jumplist button.

Relative paths don’t work. But I made a environment variable %dropboxtools% with the correct folder on each pc. I also use %programfiles% to open websites in firefox. I encountered another small problem. I use your program in a folder on dropbox. I add your software to the taskbar on all my PCs. That way I can add a program or link or … on 1 PC and it recreates itself on the other PCs. The problem is that jumplistlauncher keeps recreating the icon files. So the icon folder keeps getting fuller
If you are interested in the way it works I can translate my blogpost, or you can translate it with google translate

http://www.ali.dj Hedgehog
Interested workaround to my flawed design. Thanks also for that blogpost.
I will add relative paths in one of the next versions so you don’t have to use that workaround anymore.

Any suggestions ?

I had the same problem, same OS. Don’t know what’s going, but this resolved it:
Checked the checkbox: Create Tasklist (no categories) and then click Update Jumplist. It worked. I then UnChecked the checkboxand re-clicked Update Jumplist. It was saved properly.

http://www.facebook.com/croontje Nick Croonenborghs
Is it possible to link to relative locations?
A little example:
d:ToolsJumplistLauncher
d:ToolsTool1
d:ToolsTool2
d:ToolsTool3
I want to put these folders on a USB drive or on my dropbox. So when I open jumplistlauncher the path is different on each computer. It would be nice to be able to set “..Tool1″
“..Tool2″
“..Tool3″
as path.

Anonymous
I have to admit I never tried that. Why don’t you do that and report if it works? Simply add some folder and change the path then.
If it doesn’t work I’ll make sure it does in the next version.

Jumplists are being created but nothing will launch. Not even with right click->open. Previously exisiting jumplists have also stopped working but not all! For example, Windows Explorer jump list is fine but Remote Desktop Connections jump list won’t launch (it did before.)
Any hints?
Great app btw

How can the app be great if it doesn’t work for you ?
I haven’t heard of this issue before.
Since I don’t fix bug in this old version, your best bet is to wait for the
new one.
Sorry, about that.
pSynrg
It’s a great app for what it does. I’m not gonna diss an app because it doesn’t quite work on my system. There could be a billion reasons that caused this situation, the fact that existing lists are having probs indicates to me the cause must be elsewhere.

try update jumplist.

Doesn’t work for me at all on Win7 Ultimate x64. Jumplists don’t appear. Also, when I click on the icon instead of launching JumplistLauncher.exe, it launches the first of my files that I put in the list, and I need to delete defaultstart.dat in order to get JumplistLauncher window.
Archon
Hi all. Just posting to let you know that some of the problems I was having with Jumplist Launcher not being able to save things or not finding files went away when I went into the security tab of its folder properties and added group “Everyone” with “Full Access”, or by adding “Full Access” to “Users” if it doesn’t already have it. A bit insecure, but it seems to be working.

Anonymous
Thanks for this tip, Archon.
I’ll try to fix this behaviour in the next version.

Stevenk2
Great app,
Can you switch the mouse left click to open the menu instead of right click?
(and reversed)

Anonymous
I can’t do this, but you can already open the Jumplist by left-clicking on
the icon and then dragging the mouse-cursor up. It just needs some time to
get used to.

Ash2237
First off, amazing work dude! I really love this program and appreciate the hard work you put into it. I’ve been looking for something like this for months now. I do have a small bug report for you though – occasionally, for no apparent reason I’m aware of, one or more jumplist icons will revert to the default unknown icon for a shortcut. This can be solved by pinning and then unpinning the icon (or vice versa) but as you can appreciate, this becomes tedious after several times, especially since it distorts the list order. Hope you can help out with this – any info on when the next version will be out? Once again, great work and thank you.

Getting error: “Datei wurde nicht gefunden” which, if my German is any good still, means “File not found” maybe? But the path in the Jumplist Launcher is correct and the command line is correct also – any suggestions please?

Maintex
Ah, think I figured it out maybe, the command line parameters use double quotes, but they need to for the application to work with parameters, any idea how to get it to work with parameters that contain double quotes (“) please?
Maintex
Nope, didn’t fix it, removed the parameters completely and I still get the same error message

Hello Maintex,
Your German seems to be fine.
Did you try to launch the program without parameters at all? What is its path?

OK, that would make sense as I have CCleaner installed because of Google Chrome, but was not aware it would wipe out that list. I do not suppose you know what setting it is exactly (without me going through them all) that controls that, so I can switch it off as it’s incredibly annoying lol.

Love this program, but there seems to be a problem with the Jumplist and that is it keeps losing the items all the time. I have set the amount of items to be displayed as 14 and added my items, but sometimes when I right click on the Pinned program all I see are the standard two menus:- JumplistLauncher and Unpin this program from the Taskbar.

You don’t need to deactivate the whole CCleaner. There is a setting in it
asking if it should clean jumplist. Simply deactivate it!

great app!! thank you!
a couple of problems: when i tried to change the max number of items, a shortcut to the recent places appeared on my desktop (and still i can’t get rid of it).
i’m using the tasklist behavior, as i need to list many applications but i don’t want to enlarge the jumplist of the whole system. the problem is my tasklists only displays 14 items. it showed more only once, but i didn’t anything particular. a few seconds later it was back to 14 with no apparent reason!! i can’t be more precise, as i don’t have any hints
running on win7 64bit.
i’ve a feature request too! would it be possible to automatically list all the files/shortcuts in a folder, so that the list is updated whenever the launcher settings are saved? i’m not asking for a watcher program in the background, i’d just like the list to regenerate when i press a button.
thanks!!

The number of startlist and jumplist-items are controlled by the same registry-value.
There is no solution for that problem.
In the next version. Jumplist-details will be saved in an XML-file. I think I will add your suggestion as well. This sounds pretty good.

great!
“The number of startlist and jumplist-items are controlled by the same registry-value.

that’s understood, but how come i can only see 14 tasks in the TASKlist? =)
i’m looking forward for the next release! keep on with the great job!

Normally the Jumplist-size is determined by the mentioned registry-value and limited by the screen-size but 14 is really a bit too few.
I hope this improves in the next version (which is completely rewritten).

Hi, nettes Tool, danke für die Mühe.
Und ein paar Anregungen:
- rückwärts Drag&Drop, sprich aus der Anwendung auf den Desktop sollte Link erzeugen.
- saveChanges Button entfernen und onChange verwenden
- Gruppen deaktivieren ohne sie löschen zu müssen
- Namen die ein @ Zeichen enthalten werden komplett ignoriert
- eindeutigere Funktion der Checkbox (neben jedem Item)

I reinstalled Jumplist Launcher and set it up again. Then after turning off my computer for the evening, came back this morning and the list was empty again. Though if I open Jumplist in the configure mode all the entries are there. I really like this program, when it works.

Hi
I would write in German but my language skills are bad /
In jumplist launcher if you have 2 files with the same filename in different paths then jumplist launcher always chooses the first path. This is frustrating as I use it to run multiple revisions of Firefox for debugging and have to rename the .exe files so that I can use jumplist launcher with them.
e.g.
First entry:
C:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe
Second entry:
C:UsersRatcliffesDesktopfirefox-4.0b2pre.en-US.win32firefoxfirefox.exe
Because the filenames are the same it uses the first entry (

Having a slight problem with JumpList Launcher. I am trying to convert from 7Stacks to JL but when I assign different versions of visual studio (2003 to 2010) to the jumplist, it will only launch VS2003. For example, I point to the devenv in the 2003 folder, the denenv in the 8.0 folder, the denenv in the 9.0 folder, etc, and when I click on the individual item, it always launched Visual Studio 2008.
Any ideas what might be happening?

Al_Pennyworth
Solved my own problem – since devenv.exe is mapped to the devenv.exe in the registry, I had to create bat files for each of the VS versions that I was using.

Nur einen Idee, ist es vielleicht möglich in die Jumplist Verknüpfung nach Internetsites auf zu nehmen ?

CoderCow
Du könntest einen Eintrag für Firefox (oder welchen Webbrowser du auch immer verwendest) erstellen und als Parameter die Adresse der Seite angeben die du aufrufen willst.

CoderCow
Super Tool!
Gibt es einen Parameter mit dem das Tool eine Anwendung starten und sich selbst gleich wieder Beenden kann?
Und für alle die ihr Symbol ändern wollen: Wenn man eine Anwendung an die Taskbar anpinnt, dann wird sowieso im Hintergrund eine Verknüpfung erstellt. Diese kann man Bearbeiten, indem man die Jumplist öffnet und den zweiten Eintrag von unten rechts anklickt und Eigenschaften wählt. Dort kann man dann auch das Symbol für den Launcher selbst ändern und eben auch Startparameter für den Launcher angeben (und hier will ich eben auch den Parameter zum starten einer anderen Anwendung angeben können). Die Einstellungen wie das Symbol ändern usw. wirken sich erst nach einem Neustart vom Windows Explorer aus.
Und noch was an Hedgehog:
Wenn du die möglichkeit geben willst Icon usw. aus dem Programm heraus zu ändern könntest du die jeweilige Verknüpfung modifizieren (Ordner: %APPDATA%MicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick LaunchUser PinnedTaskBar).
Die Verknüpfung finden könntest du, indem du durch alle *.lnk Dateien loopst und nach dem Zielpfad der eigenen .exe vom Launcher suchst.
Um dir etwas Arbeit abzunehmen, Object-Pascal Code um den Zielpfad einer Verknüfung auszulesen dürfte ungefär so aussehen:
function GetLinkPath(const LinkFilePath: String): String;
var
IObject: IUnknown;
ShellLink: IShellLink;
PersistentFile: IPersistFile;
TargetPath: Array[0..MAX_PATH] of Char;
Wfs: TWin32FindData;
begin
IObject := CreateComObject(CLSID_ShellLink);
ShellLink := IObject as IShellLink;
PersistentFile := IObject as IPersistFile;
PersistentFile.Load(PWChar(WideString(LinkFilePath)), 0);
ShellLink.GetPath(@TargetPath, MAX_PATH, Wfs, SLGP_UNCPRIORITY);
Result := TargetPath;
end;
Um das Icon schließlich festzulegen müsste man es mit sowas hier ergänzen:
ShellLink.SetIconLocation(PWChar(WideString(IconPath)), IconIndex);
PersistentFile.Save(PWChar(WideString(LinkFilePath)), FALSE);

When I use the program [ccleaner] my list is wiped and I have to open jumplist then re-update to show the list. Can you look into this?
IDK if you like idea’s but how about Right click = Left Click and Left Click = Right Click.

Anonymous
#1: Yeah this was also mentioned by a few other users.
I’ll definitely look into this when developing the next version.
#2: Also answered a lot. This would be only possible if a background-service ran all the time which I despite. The beauty of JL-Launcher is that it only uses Windows 7′s native functions.
You can launch a jumplist with a left click, by clicking on the icon and dragging your mouse-cursor up. I got used to it very fast.

Can you add an option that we can use our own icon.png for the launcher insted of the original (blue one) please?
