There now is a SystemPower plugin for the Windows version of Launchy.
It allows to add system power-related items to Launchy's index.<BR>
Thus, it basically does what Launchy already tries to achieve using its "Utilities\System Power" directory, except:
- It offers more items to be added to the catalog (e.g. Shutdown, Hibernate, Lock, etc.)
- Names of items can be localized (instead of always displaying an English term even for non-English versions of Windows)
- It does not display the shutdown timer
- It integrates as a real plugin, offering to change configuration options (e.g. to ask for confirmation before shutdown).
<P>A readme file providing more details is included in the archive.
<HR>
<P>
The download can be found via
.
This folder contains the plugin for the current version of Launchy () and it may also contain versions to be used with older Launchy releases (e.g. SystemPower_v212.zip) in the future.

Here is a brief overview - for details, please refer to the readme file:
* Almost all SystemPower commands accept the timer parameter
* The timer parameter will always be interpreted as minutes (but floating point numbers are possible)
* A dialog with a countdown will be displayed - also allowing to cancel the timer
* Currently, there can only be one timer at a time. Starting a new timer will cancel an existing one
* Exiting Launchy will also kill the timer
* Example: just see keydon's example: 'Hibernate<Tab>60' will put the computer to hibernate in 60 minutes
Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

I use this version of the plugin (v1.6.3.144, dated 2011-03-22) with Launchy 2.6 beta 2.
The old mechanism to provide localized texts as implemented in the plugin does not work well any more and results in a lot of incorrect and weird "translations". After installing the plugin, I recommend to open its options and check and edit the "Item texts" section. Sorry for the inconvenience.

OneDrive links change all the time, and former ones cease to work. Quite annoying.
Here is the current link to the SystemPower plugin: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Akb5I5h6gGa6gjSh56z-NMXH8pLz?e=Sxycij
Sorry, no idea how long this one will work...
Be aware that after installing this plugins, you should first open its options and clean up the "names" (or "translations"; the UI calls it "Item texts", by the way) of the modes. The way the plugin tries to extact translated names do not work any more in recent versions of Windows and just produce nonsense.
It's just easier to access sleep mode via "Sleep" than via "Some nonesense text that would never remind me of something like my computers energy saving mode" ;-)
Sorry for the inconvenience.

SystemPower v1.6.0 has been released.
It adds a timer, as requested by keydon.
Here is a brief overview - for details, please refer to the readme file:
* Almost all SystemPower commands accept the timer parameter
* The timer parameter will always be interpreted as minutes (but floating point numbers are possible)
* A dialog with a countdown will be displayed - also allowing to cancel the timer
* Currently, there can only be one timer at a time. Starting a new timer will cancel an existing one
* Exiting Launchy will also kill the timer
* Example: just see keydon's example: 'Hibernate<Tab>60' will put the computer to hibernate in 60 minutes
Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Hi, the files are still there - but you are right, the old links do not work any more.
The SystemPower plugin can now be accessed via https://1drv.ms/u/s!Akb5I5h6gGa6gi_0G1td200Shwpo?e=7ycZNP.
