I submit for your disapproval a humble request to the software developer "Shutdown 8" :
I absolutely love the little freeware app Shutdown8 as I use it every time I need to go to sleep and shut off the computer. The app is a wonderful way to create that perfect pause before you shut down the computer.
However instead of shutting down the computer, I was wondering if you could add an alarm feature instead of a shutdown option instead? By having the computer play m3u's or even a folder of music as an option.
It would turn it into an alarm clock as well and be even more valuable as a minimalistic app especially if you kept the same options to delay the alarm as you already accomplished for the shutdown process.
I really appreciate your work and I look forward to your reply about this issue. If you are unable to do this, or unwilling to tweak the app for this improvement, please let me know, and I wonder if I could have the permission to give it to a coder who might be able to add this feature into this fine piece of freeware.
Thank you so much for your attention and response in advance.

Hello, this is Bandisoft.
Shutdown8 is an application developed for users of Windows 8 where there is no button for the Start menu on the desktop, and we have no current plan to offer further technical support for the app. We would like to ask you for your deepest understanding that we cannot give you a positive answer for anything you have suggested here.
Best regards,
Bandisoft
So, if the idea is possible we could revive and remake the shut down 8 app into the tiniest timer/alarm/timed shutdown program!
Upon activation of the program, a menu opens with the options to shutdown, restart, hibernate, or timer to shutdown...
in a cascading menu you have 10 minute shutdown, 30 minute shutdown, 1 hour shutdown or a 2 hour shutdown.
Then upon selecting the timed shutdown, a popup window with a counter tells you how long until shutdown... which is changeable with +- buttons next to the timer.
The developers forgot to make an alarm instead of the shutdown. This is where the TIMP core could be used.
So either TIMP could be bundled and put in the same folder as this alarm program or the alarm program could be separated with TIMP inside of it (most of the core programming). Thus being a small wake up timer.
Thus this could truly "AWAKEN THE DEAD" and after this little creation... (along with finishing the rest of TIMP) could earn you the title of Dr. Victor Frankenstein!
What do you think?
