Simple Application Launch Bar?

I am looking for a simple application launch bar with minimal dependencies, that can be used with a very minimalistic window manager like MWM that doesn't have an inherent launcher or menuing capabilty. Does anyone know of such a thing - something that depends only on X itself or perhaps GTK, but not much more, and which can be configured to have one or more rows of icons that when pressed launch a program? Thanks!

iDesk is a desktop icon manager, nothing more. He's looking for a panel, not desktop icons.
yes, but it's very configurable - i've seen many setups that use is as an iconbar.

  • Hayaku - simple application launcher

    Hello!
    Hayaku is a simple application launcher. Ideally, you bind it to a keyboard shortcut to launch rapidly a program.
    You can also enter an url and your web browser will open it.
    Every unique command is save in a sql table (SQLite) to be load next time you want to launch it.
    Official website (in french) : http://www.4nakama.net/projet.php
    AUR : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17963
    @+

    Sorry to double post but hayaku 1.5.1 is available!
    Changelog:
    - Some bugfixes
    - Remove icon
    - Use alias
    - New command line option to add or update an alias
    - New command line option to add a database (see below)
    - More verbose
    Hayaku use a small database to resolve suggestion.
    This database look like this:
    DB name : name.sqlite
    Table name : hayaku_command
    Field : [alias](TEXT)  [command](TEXT)
    You can build your own database (I suggest using  SQLite Manager (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817) extension for Firefox) and
    add it to default hayaku DB. When you DB is complete, open a shell and add it with:
    hayaku -d /path/to_db/myDB.sqlite
    You can download a small set of database here : http://www.4nakama.net/download/hayaku_database.tar.bz2
    I accept contributions
    Example : I don't use gnome, so if someone want to make a gnome.sqlite, I will add it to the archive above.
    There is another command line option available with this release. You can add or update an alias. Syntax:
    hayaku -a {alias} {command}
    Example:
    hayaku -a web opera
    Git repo is up to date if you want to look at the source:

  • SimpleShortcuts - a simple application launcher [PyQt]

    Hi.
    I learned programming as my hobbie and this is my first serious application.
    I don't like application launchers like Gnome-do, so I wrote this little Python application for easily running my favourite applications. I use a mouse gesture for running the script, it is really useful for me now.
    It works on python3 and python2 with pyqt.
    Here is a few screenshots (sorry for ugly Oxygen widget-set):
    I hope you like it .

  • 'Launch Bar' erased my photos and music and almost everything else!

    Be wary of the application 'Launch Bar'. Downloaded a trial, launched it and then was presented with a hard drive which denied me access to all my photos, music as well as resetting Safari and deleting all my mail (in Mail app)
    I could not see just how I managed to accomplish all this, but I DID!
    Tried Repairing Permissions and disk, used Disk Warrior, repaired scripts..etc, etc.....all to no avail!
    Get Info suggested my drive contained all my data, but, as I said, was un-accessible. Lost patience and recovered the drive from SuperDuper using my external Seagate drive.
    It seemed to me something like what happened when I tried to change my HOME FOLDER NAME some years back, that was a bit of a disaster too, everything was still there, but not accessible.
    Any comments, or similar experiences? Needless to say, I have deleted Launch Bar!

  • Simple installation and application launching

    Is anyone else wondering about this too?
    (I'm referring to pdas running variants of windows.)
    User finds an application on a web page.
    User does not know or care that it is a Java application.
    User clicks on 'download' button.
    Simple, straightforward click-through.
    Application becomes visible in 'My Programs'.
    Click once and the application launches.
    The user can be assumed to have the ability to download and double click on a .exe (not .jar), or download and copy to a given location. Any such file, must be singular.
    The jvm must be bundled. It's installation must be transparent. Ideally it should not be seen by the pda as a separate application.
    Does anyone know how to do this? HInts? Recipes?
    I don't care how tediuous or hacky this is. Only that the end user experience is the same as it would be for a windows native app.
    I very much like Mysaifu. I'd use j9 if neccesary. Sadly there are no other jvms that aren't seriously flawed.

    Ok, here's a supplementary question.. Why has noone replied to this thread? Am I asking the impossible? Is it too obvious? Was that the red pill, or the blue pill? :-s

  • Need a buttons to sit on quick launch bar or tool bar in desktop

    can anyone tell me please ,how to create buttons on the quick launch bar in desktop, these buttons will run batch file for jboss app server,another button to shutdown the jboss app server, and one button to show and hide the console of running server.??

    I believe that you need to put a shortcut into this folder :
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick LaunchOr you can have an icon in the "system tray" (bottom right) and have a menu (JDK6 is required).
    Example at [Have a systray icon (Windows)|http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0612.html]
    Bye.

  • Application Launch Failure -- Transport Monitor

    Since reloading Tiger (and all the updates) early this week, I have started seeing this error upon restart:
    Application Launch Failure
    The application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "8<Transport Monitor><Transport Monitor><HotSyncLib.PPC>"
    Huh? Perhaps this has something to do with my .Mac sync icon spinning forever on my menu bar...
    Can anyone translate this foreign language and suggest corrective actions?
    Thank you!

    Ok so im assuming you ran an archive and install. There should be a folder in Macintosh HD that says Previous Systems (n). n is the number of previous systems eg 1, 2, 3. Open that folder, go to users and open up the shared folder. You can copy its contents to your new shared folder in your new users folder. When you run an archive and install, your shared folder gets moved into the previous systems folder and a new shared folder is created that is empty. You need to fill up that shared folder. Try it out and see if it will work.

  • Application Launch Failures & wont boot into OSX!!

    My Powerbook was getting "Application Launch Failures" for a while within OSX, now it wont even boot. I get the question mark folder flash, then it goes away, and I get the grey screen with the Apple logo and spinning progress indicator...then it just stays there. I tried taking it into Safe Mode, but no luck. Does it sound like I need to reinstall OSX, or is the HD hosed?

    It means required system files are corrupted. You may not need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall OS X by doing an Archive and Install:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Help - Lost phone icon on quick launch bar

    Hi,
    I've been playing with configuring the quick launch bar by dragging icons from the launcher. When I dragged a fifth icon onto the quick launch bar it replaced the phone dialer icon.
    No big deal I thought - I'll just drag it back from the launcher - except it's not in the launcher...
    Any suggestions on how to get it back.... If only I'd lost the contacts icon I really wouldn't care, but losing the phone dialer is a problem!
    Thanks!
    Darren.

    Hrm, typically you can't add an extra icon unless you have room. Only five icons allowed plus the launcher button.
    Is the phone icon located on any of the launcher pages? Also does searching for phone result in it finding the application?
    So, you meant 5 *including* the launcher button, not 5 *plus* the launcher button, right?  Because I can't get any more than 4 plus the launcher, and unless they were made smaller, it doesn't look like there'd be room for another.  Or am I missing some way to do that?  I'd love to add one more, since I use Google Maps almost daily for traffic checks, but I use the other stuff already there dialy as well.

    It seems that weblogic is under edit and lock mode and can you open weblogic console and try to change it correctly.
    Still you get same problem then try to remove the application reference with in server upload folder.
    This will solve your problem.
