General Software Discussion / Fingertips - Rapid Task Entry into Outlook
« on: November 09, 2006, 01:21 AM »
Fingertips is a program like FARR or Launchy, but what sets it apart is that it allows you to enter in tasks, contacts, appointments into Outlook with little or no interaction with Outlook.  This makes it extremely easy to enter in tasks without being bothered by switching applications or loading up the Outlook task form.   I love the idea (I wish ActiveWords worked this way), and the task entry is awesome, but the documentation is poor there is only a one page help file with it.  Are there any other program out there like this?  GyroQ does this for MindManager, MLO has a nice rapid task entry form, but I'd love to see this type of app for Outlook and OneNote with more options like picking different categories, setting reminder times, etc.

General Software Discussion / Re: Launchy users please stand up

I think the main reason I love Launchy is that it's smart from the start.   I type in "pf" and it figures out that I want "program files."  I didn't setup an alias, it just figures it out.  I type in audiobooks and it knows that "audio books" is the directory where I want to go to.  It's not a perfect program, but it's working for me ... with minimal effort on my part.

Thanks for posting the solution!  One of these days I'll learn AutoHotKey....

I like Find and Run Robot, but it's missing Folder search support, Winkey support, and it's cache is too slow for my taste.  I love the features of it, but Launchy is drop dead simple and has the main features I want.  It's far from as sophisticated as FARR, but I like it.  I was using SlickRun, but I don't like the fact that  it doesn't have an index feature, you have to manually setup the shortcuts.  I was using that for about 6 months, but got tired of having to deal with the huge bug in the beta version that deletes your Magic Words.

I know Actual Windows Manager can change the Caption of a window on Startup.
