LaunchBar Commander / Re: open folder by mousemove

The dockbar items opened by 'mouseover' should also dissapear automatically on 'mouseout' if no action is performed on them.

Can you add a 'Backup Now' function to the backup options?

It catched my eye that the initial topic in this thread got completely lost in the discussion.
To take up again the topic of opening dock folders by mouseover, I would appreciate this also very much!
It should come with the options to choose 'Mouseover' with the possibility to set a delay and 'On Click Only'

LaunchBar Commander / Re: LBC doesn't recognize and fails to handle some programs

« on: March 12, 2021, 11:23 AM »

For MathInputPanel "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\mip.exe"
I fixed the problem by copying the folder ..\ink to the windows folder and adjusting the link path to the c:\windows\ink\mip.exe (that has no spaces in the name)
For MemoryDiagnosticsTool, RecoveryDrive, SnippingTool, SystemConfiguration and Windows-Fax and Scan
I fixed the problem with .cmd files, syntax 'start c:\windows\system32\*.exe' extracted the icons and applied them to links to the *.cmd files
For WinLED I changed the link c:\program files\winled\winled.exe to my german windows path c:\programme\winled\winled.exe (that has no spaces in the name)

So it seems links with a space in their path name and links to several programs in the windows\system32 folder don't work for LaunchBar Commander. Fix?

After following the steps in the link 4wd gave and writing a few *.cmd files, making links to them and applying the corresponding icons I now have some UWPApps in my Startmenu, it works!

LaunchBar Commander / LBC doesn't recognize and fails to handle some programs

« on: March 11, 2021, 01:58 AM »

Of the ~200 Links in my "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" Startmenu Folder most are OK in Launchbar Commander, but a few don't work as expected.
In the folders of the Dock they show a generic white icon and the *.exe isn't found. On right-click -> Properties it shows the correct path but when I click OK there's the error
'The target path is Invalid, make shure the path and filenames are correct'. If I choose 'Manual Search' the *.exe isn't visible in the opening window even so it's definitely there
when I look into the folder with the Windows File Explorer. The same happens if I try to add a 'Command  Node' in Launchbar Commander for this *.exe
None of this happens in other AppStarters like 'brun', 'PopSel', 'menuApp' or 'Spencer'. If I run LaunchBar Commander as Administrator I get the same errors, for these apps only:

MathInputPanel "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\mip.exe"
MemoryDiagnosticsTool "C:\WINDOWS\system32\MdSched.exe"
RecoveryDrive "C:\Windows\System32\RecoveryDrive.exe"
SnippingTool "C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe"
SystemConfiguration "C:\Windows\System32\msconfig.exe"
Windows-Fax and Scan "C:\Windows\System32\WFS.exe"
WinLED "C:\Program Files\WinLED\WinLED.exe"

Even so I can live with these few mishaps I wonder why this is and if there's a solution.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Unable to move bar

« on: March 11, 2021, 12:50 AM »

..had this problem too, it's if you have set 'Border' to 'No Border'. Set it to 'Thin Border', close the 'Options Menu' then 'toggle docking' and move the bar, then set it back to 'No Border'.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Show us your LaunchBar Commander Screenshots

Thank you mouser for this outstanding freeware! I was using 'Biniware Run' 'menuApp' 'PopSel' and 'Spencer', that are also good freeware before. Finally now 'LaunchBar Commander' definitely gets me around the Windows 10 Startmenu clutter! I tried to make it match my Windows look, see the result with the eos skin in the picture below. The only setting I couldn't figure out is how to get rid of the grey border, it's set to 'no border' in the options, I guess it's a 'Windows thing'...
