NANY 2015 Release - Splat (Simple Program Launching and Termination)
AtmanActive:
Yes, that's one way to do it.
Thank you very much for your speedy support.
But, there is a case where this approach would let down Splat's user: when roaming on a USB stick.
If I do create a shortcut to a profile on my machine, and then take my Portable Software setup to my brother's computer, run Splat there to help me launch what I need, that profile wouldn't launch automatically as he doesn't have that shortcut in his windows.
So, although this solution does a job in most scenarios (and I suspected that Splat has a command line option to run a profile), still I would vote for Splat's internal function to do that, as in that case it makes it completely portable.
Thanks.
Cheers!

Run process only if its not running does not work in a bunch of cases
- for some programs running silently in the background, such as http://www.listary.com/text-editor-anywhere
- for chm or pdf files; if already open, it will attempt to open them again in the same default application, which - depending on the application, results in yet another read-only copy, or in an error message

Correct. I should add a disclaimer to the help file that the "Run if not running" command only relates to the actual executable process itself. That is, there is not a reliable way to tell if a given file or URL is already open in an application. Yes, sometimes that information is within the titlebar text but not nearly always.

Thanks for the quick reply, skwire,
hm, don't know what to say, maybe because I run the portable version?

No big deal, I can click away the pop-ups.
When I don't specify a specific chm-file, but just fire up the kchmviewer, it tries to launch another instance and I also get an error. But again, no showstopper. Just wanted to let you know.

I tested with the portable version as well. :huh:

Hmmm, this program works for me as well. It might be important to note that I run my account as administrator with UAC disabled. Maybe that makes a difference?
