LaunchBar Commander / Backup folder location-relocate from default

« on: August 08, 2012, 01:14 PM »

I cannot find within the Launchbar where to designate the storage of backup files.
I would prefer that the backup is not stored in my C:\User\documents
I attempted to relocate this backup file to be on drive E but even without an .ini file in the original Documents\Donationcoder\Launchbar folder the backup goes there anyway.

At the moment I copied the current date backups to drive E:
There is a high possiblity that my system drive will have to have a Windows reinstall and I'll lose everything on C
Therefore I'm checking all files that I would need to start over again.

LaunchBar Commander / First use of the day-long pause

« on: May 20, 2012, 08:21 PM »

I wondered if LaunchBar Commander is connected to the Windows icon database.  At one point I found via an online article, the registry key that is supposed to have a number that is connected to the icon or thumbnail datatbase and in my Windows 7 there wasn't that registry entry that was described in the article I had found.
At any rate, the first use of the day for the sidebar Launchbar there is a 'wait time' for a folder to display. This is a folder holding shortcut icons.  When it has been opened once then it is actually available even by hovering for the rest of the morning. If the Launchbar is not used for a long time later in the day the same routine will repeat. Of course, this is the'go to' listing in the launchbar so that wait period can get a little aggrevating <grin>
I wondered if the icons had to be retrieved or whatever Windows does with icons.

LaunchBar Commander / Dock launchbar on side, edit, save, dock leaps to top

« on: February 05, 2012, 10:55 AM »

This launchbar commander fits the bill for replacing the slow loading 7stacks taskbar popup menu.
I had no difficulty editing the sample menu including in yesterdays install of current launchbar.

The issue is each time I save an edit the bar located on the right side of the monitor pops back up to the top edge.
I could grab the edge of the bar and drag it back but eventually this didn't work and I started using 'toggle bar' from the right click menu. It takes about three clicks on that command to have the bar go back to the right side.
Perhaps its not truly docked on the right side since it doesn't hide or slide if those choices are checked.
The hiding and sliding isn't that important since I chose transparent and no border which is perfect when on the right side; not so great when across the top.

If the bar is sent down to the launch area so that only the icon is displaying all the bar choices are available but change out of that and it pops up to the top.

I couldn't find any specific configuration in the preferences/options to designate position of the launcher bar
I do not have it configured to start up when windows at this time.

My system is Windows 7Professional 64bit  4 core 8ram

Is there a recommendation or configuration to keep the bar on the left?
