SOLVED: Enable 'drag+drop' of text into Win7's Start-Menu Search Box

<< < (3/3)

@Lefax32, let me ask what you think of this idea.. currently I have code to prevent more than one instance of Pasty from being run.. to prevent accidental start when it's already running in the tray as most tray apps do.  But I'm thinking since the program hotkey and search hotkey are adjustable, several instances could be run to connect to several different hotkey apps.  For it to work, each instance would need to start from its own folder so that the .ini file wouldn't get confused.  Also the program hotkey(and presumably) the search hotkey, would need to be set differently in each instance.  Do you think that's worth doing, or should I just leave it as it is now?

I try to keep my apps simple because I know there are already complex utilities out there with years invested in debugging all that action.  So I try to limit things to one or a few functions at most.  Just curious if you think it has that many applications or is linking selected text to another app pretty limited anyway, where one copy of Pasty running is enough?

Lefax32:
I like it as it is, but I'm not too sure what you mean exactly. I only run one search at a time, and haven't had any need to run another instance I don't think. BTW, I think I prefer just one icon in my tray, I don't like it cluttering.

PS Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for the reply. Instead of trying to do a lot of things with Pasty I left it as it is.  I did another utility called Selector that holds a bunch of programs in a ListBox and you can select one to launch with selected text or clipboard text. Useful to open a url in another browser without using a plugin, or you can type a filename in an editor and select it, then hit the hotkey.. that type of thing.

Lefax32:
Yeah sorry about being so slow. I kinda forgot about the program for a little while until I found another program that let me make hotkeys into mouse shortcuts (hotkeyp).

Thanks for the new program. Looks interesting, going to try it out.
