Launchy

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Typical Windows-centric development without regard for much of the rest of the world. In my installation, no icon appeared (despite the complaint of others about the LARGE icon); right-clicking (yes, on a Mac) showed the Launchy item, but selecting it showed it disabled. In the Addons configuration (in the Tools menu) I could easily determine that it was enabled (and I toggled it on and off, at some expense of time relaunching FireFox), but its preferences were blank. There is also no developer or user site that indicated what the General tab in the preferences should contain (or what the terms referred to - it appears, again, Windows-centric) EXCEPT for .xml configuration, which also appears very Windows-centric.

It's not even really what I wanted (I need a reliable mailto: webmail launcher for a client), but I'm surprised at the poor implementation and the total lack of documentation.
