NB : I noticed that after an undifined lapse of time, if not activated again (by entreing the trigering corner of the screen) ( around 20-30 minutes, but it is not constant), the amout of RAM used suddenly drops to an acceptable amount (around 15-30 Mo). If triggered again, the RAM usage immediatly rise again. I suppose this is an intended behaviour, such as a high level/low level standby mode ? If so, is there a way by parameters or by recompilation) to lower this duration to a few minuts or seconds,...
I noticed WinStep is very heavy on memory usage. On my system* it is using 255 Mb of RAM ! Compare it to, say, Nexus Dock wich is using 13 Mb. Is there a way to prevent that ? Windows 11 24H2, 16 Mb RAM, 30840x2156 screen.
hi, would it be possible to open applications groups or folders groups using mouse over (like in max launcher) ?
Should be fixed now, please let me know if you still get false positives.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I added instructions to each download on how to install the themes. and yes, members have free access to every theme.
I purchased a theme from your patreon, and do not see installation directions. I have the lion.zip file theme. I have looked on the settings look and feel page, which only says, "join Patreon to get themes." On Patreon at this time you are now allowing people to purchase individual themes for $3. I did that, got an email, which led to a Patreon page to download the lion.zip file - with no instructions on how to install the theme.

theres some information about it on the website http://winlaunch.org/themes.php
Running v5.5.3. I can't figure out how to change the default theme. There is nothing in the setup tab referencing themes.
this is something i've been looking for too, and would be a great feature.
Hey, I've been using the program for ~2 years and I've always asked around to see if anyone has built something that will autopopulate the pages with the already installed software and create a new entry when new software gets installed. Thanks, Lewis
I was wondering whether it would be possible to introduce trackpad support so you can switch pages by swiping left or right with two fingers to switch pages. It would kinda finish the experience off when using it on a laptop.
theres nothing i can do about the false positive detection, for me this project is now no longer continuable, so i open sourced it here https://github.com/MrC0rrupted/WinLaunch
Can or will you be doing another build soon? I tried the Setup.exe again and it's still blocked by AV. I don't think I can talk our I/T into allowing it even if it is a false positive. I tried downloading the zip file and Chrome blocked it as harmful too! One additional thing, if you do do another build, could you make the update check optional? Since I literally cannot upgrade to 0.5.4, I keep getting the "Update available" nag screen. I see there's some talk from others about making this open source....
Hello! Thank you for the update of WinLaunch to version 0.5.4. Unfortunately, I cannot perform the update (Windows 10, Avast virus scanner) because Avast found a malware threat in update.exe. Also virustotal.com reports a problem with this file eight times (as of 2022-01-27 05:11:57 UTC). I hope that it is just a false positive, but maybe something can be changed in the source code and recompiled. Thanks.
Hey, I love this program and have been using it for years! I got a notification there was an update today, but when I tried to update, it got flagged as "threat level high" by company's AV...not sure why as I remember the last update not giving me any problems.

Hi, first of all thanks for great program. I'm using it for the last 2-3 years and it is really great. The main thing that I'm missing is ability to open a program only with keyboard, without mouse interaction. This could be achievable through selection and you navigate with ⬅️⬆️➡️⬇️ keys and enter to open a program. This could be later extended with ability to start typing and filtering programs or how windows explorer works that it matches the input and selects the first item that matches the input....

WinLaunch is amazing. I started to use it daily. Now I have some ideas for new features: 1. Page names: would be great for categorization to have the possibility to give a name to each page. 2. Custom Background/Color for each page (always useful for categorization)

Is there a way to sort the icons/folders alphabetically (or if they start with a number, numerically)?
Is this project still alive in September 2019?
Would it be possible to implement: 1) mouse-wheel/touchpad scrolling to change pages? 2) hiding on focus lost/clicking elsewhere?
I'm having the same issue. My company's AV is reporting virus/adaware. It's coming up as Artemis in Mcafee which is apparently their "suspicious" file check.
Hi WinLaunch, greetings for your slick launcher (runs smooth, reactive and fast) I have the follow setup: Windows 10 notebook Dual Monitor in extended mode internal screen 1920x1080 external hdmi screen 1280x800 (weird native resolution of my monitor) The Bug in this setup is when winlaunch are in desktop mode winlaunch get placed in a wrong position in both monitors... Later i check with both monitors in the same resolution but with the same result
The program installed on my PC (0.5.3.0) looks different from the version in the video (0.4.9.0). My version has no themes panel at all so I cannot change the themes on the app. I am already happy with the app I have installed but it would be better if the themes were accessible, like in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZL1AVkdTuM
Hello, Slightly concerned by the virustotal.com results for WinLaunch.zip: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/ef6ab38db8ddb7a181f5d67ab003bba0cc4cf8c744a3bc6822ce34e17d11c474/detection 4 AVs are finding malware in the zip. What's up with that? Cheers, Chris
In my WinLaunch configuration some of my shortcuts point to files on an encrypted volume. When WinLaunch starts before I mount the encrypted volume the application-specific icons for those shortcuts are replaced by faceless generic icons (even though the I can go in and Restore any individual icon, but I can't find a command to restore all the icons in one step. Is there such a command? If not, please consider adding it. I guess I could delay starting WinLaunch until after the encrypted volume mounts....
Added free placement of Items in 0.5.2.0
Hey, I fixed an issue with the installer, should be working again
I have the same. Firewall, etc. disabled.
it keeps saying that it couldn't download the files because of no internet but I'm connected to the internet.
Hello Thank you for WinLaunch, it is really the best launcher I ever tried. I am a computer scientist, and I use a hundred utilities when programming (Windows 10 needs to be spied in many ways if you want it to behave correctly...). Almost all my WL shortcuts reside in folders, so I can launch anything in two clicks, wonderful ! Some suggestions to improve WL : 1. REALLY IMPORTANT (meets the #7 of Mike Mi ) : allow a free placement of WL shortcuts and folders on the grid (same way as we can freely...
Hi, I use WinLaunch to manage my Visual Studio solutions, and I have the same solutions in DEV, TEST and RELEASE branches. Is there any possibility to force a linebreak, so that all DEV solution links are in one line, then a linebreak and the next line contains all TEST solutions? Probably I could fill the line with dummy entries to force a linebreak (as long as I don't change my screen resolution ;-), but maybe there is a better approach or this feature could even be added to WinLaunch ;-)? Best...
Thanks, I'll keep these in mind
9 suggestions to make WinLaunch more awesome (or nearly perfect): Allow environment variables resolution, like %USERNAME%, %USERPROFILE%, %WINDIR%, etc. in folder/file paths and names of WL shortcut. Actually, variables %XXX% are not solved and it results in non opening folders, files and not solved names. We can bypass this limitation by creating a "real" shortcut with variables in path, but it's not a clean way to add a specific folder. If the shortcut file is deleted, WL shortcut doesn't work...

Open the startmenu and type %appdata% then simply copy the WinLaunch folder to the appdata folder on the new system and remove the dead icons. There will be a backup and restore option in the future.
