- ProSwitch 1.2 ReadMe
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- ProSwitch is an utility which makes it easier for you to switch between
- running processes (i.e. applications and DAs) under System 7.
- Features include six fully configurable "hot keys" for switching and
- hiding (or showing) the windows of background processes, and the option
- to switch with a click on the application menu's icon (a la System 6).
-
- To install ProSwitch, put it in the "Control Panels" folder inside your
- System folder and restart your Mac. To configure it, double-click on its
- icon and read the text in ProSwitch's "About"-box.
-
-
- Version History:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 1.0
- was unable to skip background-only processes like file-sharing.
-
- 1.1
- fixed the problem with background-only processes and introduced
- the "Click-Switch" feature. This version was never released.
-
- 1.2
- added a checkbox for "Hide on click". v1.2 looks at events before
- DAs get them, so the calculator DA won't beep at you any longer when
- its switched out with ProSwitch.
-
-
- Plans:
- ~~~~~
- I am thinking about implementing keyboard equivalents for processes.
- As an example, imagine you could type "Control-W" to bring Microsoft
- Word to the foreground if its already running, or launch it if it isn't.
- If you like to see this, let me know… (And don't forget to read the
- About-box!)
