| About The Launcher |
An innovative GNOME panel applet and standalone application launcher
The Launcher is an innovative GNOME panel applet or standalone application launcher automatically adapting to your habits. The ultimate goal is to make it possible to run any application with as few clicks as possible. This means tracking your favorite applications, and not forcing you to mark or organize them by hand. Our preferences change with the time passing, and The Launcher responds to that automatically.
In terms of user interface, The Launcher delivers simple, clean and usable interface with advanced features like 'search as you type' and 'smart search', and requires zero configuration effort. The Launcher should be especially handy on touchscreens and in keyboard-only scenarios.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.10.x.
Other dependencies include:
Python, Pygtk

| Latest Version: 2.4.1 |
* Usable application categories support. The list of application categories is available in the header of 'Sections' group and shows installed freedesktop.org applications categories.
* Search interface update to make it less intrusive. Search panel is now hidden on startup and appears when you press Control-F or start typing. Search panel can be closed by close button, pressing Control-F or Escape.
* Improved 'Frequently used' applications sort algorithm. Half-life method is now used instead of counting application runs.
* Application list is now loaded from subfolders. Added to support applications installed in wine and KDE applications.
* The Launcher is no longer shown in taskbar and pager when launched from GNOME panel.
* New configuration file option, 'Mode'. Can be 'fullscreen' (fullscreen window), 'menu' (menu-like window), and 'standard' (normal window, default behavior).
* All configuration file options can be specified in command line using '--option[=value]' notation. If value is not provided, '1' will be used.
* Further startup speed improvements.
