Currently when tinkering with complex new alias's to test if I got it all correct I have to close the alias and options menu to test the alias, this can get cumbersome when I have to do it about 10-20 times.

A button to test launching the alias while it's open would be very time saving.

Thanks for the great software, keep it up :)

not a bad idea..
however, i think the most important thing to need to test is the regex, and if you look carefully there is a place to test the regex in the alias edit dialog.
