Looks pretty cool... a less visual version of 7stacks!

c.gingerich · « **Reply #2 on:** December 21, 2015, 08:59 AM »

Yes I used 7stacks but it would just run so slow sometimes and take forever to open if I had a lot of apps/files in the folder. I wanted a faster way, so I made this. :-)

My problem with it also, so I'll give this a try!

Wraith, what about removing the ".lnk" from the display? We don't really need to see the file extension, and it would be less clutter.

I'm confused?

Or was this for the author?

c.gingerich · « **Reply #6 on:** December 22, 2015, 09:28 AM »

I think it may have been meant for me. I think I can do that :-)

c.gingerich · « **Reply #7 on:** December 22, 2015, 11:39 AM »

Chris, FYI download link above says:

CloudApp
Sorry, no drops live here.

Perhaps the link you clicked was broken or the owner of this drop has deleted it.

the link via website works

c.gingerich · « **Reply #9 on:** December 23, 2015, 08:47 AM »

Oops. Updated the DL link. Thanks!

Having to figure out a way to download it in Chrome sucks.

Just an FYI- how you get around the malicious warning (even though we haven't checked, we're going to mark it malicious) in Chrome

I had exactly this problem with an exe file that is downloadable from my web site. Whenever I tried to download the file using Chrome it gave the warning.

The solution I found was to sign up to Google Webmaster Tools and add my site. It took several days for Google to crawl my site, and fill in any information, but I went back today and finally found loads of information there.

Now I can download my file, and there is no malicious warning any more.

It seems that once Google has checked out your site and determined that you are not a bad person, the problem goes away.

Cool. Thanks for the info I just added my site to Google.

wraith808 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 23, 2015, 01:17 PM »

Is that link above correct? I used curl to get around chrome, and got a 301?

UPDATE: For anyone trying the same, the link is a redirect, and the location is in the 301, i.e. http://f.cl.ly/items...1G/QuickJump2016.zip

c.gingerich · « **Reply #13 on:** December 23, 2015, 01:25 PM »

Yes it is correct. I use https://www.getcloudapp.com/ to host my downloads... Really, not matter what I have used (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc..) the same thing happens... I just stick with CloudApp now.

For some reason Chrome is blocking me from downloading it.

That's was what I was referring to above. You can use curl, wget, or such utilities to directly download it.

Wow, that's cool! Thanks for letting me know. I'll see what I can do about adding that letter shortcut option. ;-)

c.gingerich · « **Reply #19 on:** December 28, 2015, 07:36 PM »

Update: Added the feature requested in that article. Apps/folders/files can be opened by pressing the corresponding underlined letter for that menu item.

c.gingerich · « **Reply #20 on:** March 24, 2016, 06:20 AM »

@Baile Thank you! :-) Yep, it works the same, I use it every day.

anjan_oleti · « **Reply #21 on:** March 28, 2016, 06:08 PM »

I use MenuApp. It has been there for a long time and is feature rich. But, I am looking for an alternative since it is buggy. Was excited to see QuickJump, but then it does not create sub menus for folders.

c.gingerich · « **Reply #22 on:** March 29, 2016, 09:20 AM »

No QuickJump does not have sub-menus for sub-folders, that is by design. I wanted it to be fast and having to loop through sub-folders and create sub-menus adds a lot of time to creating the menu. I do not think I will ever create sub-menus for folders. What I may do in a future release is make pseudo sub-menus that only show when clicking on the folder menu item. That way they are generated on the fly and will not make it much, if any, slower.

wraith808 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 29, 2016, 10:12 AM »

I actually like that it doesn't create sub-menus, and if you do add it, can you make sure to put the option of not using it?

c.gingerich · « **Reply #24 on:** March 29, 2016, 10:14 AM »

Yep, it's going to be an optional parameter called SubMenus. Was a quick add and I'll be uploading a new version soon.
