Here I am with a new launcher!
LaunchIt is cool but not so easy to maintain and to manage shortcuts...
Furthermore, the LearningOne's script is a real great, beautyfull and more efficient script!
So, in my infinite quest of the most usefull (and simple) launcher, I bring you "LvLauncher" : a simple launcher based on a simple listview.

How-to (updated 24/11/2010):
Code:
Name: LvLauncher 0.4
Author: TomXIII (contact: Tom.XIII [AT] gmail [DOT] com)


How to display the LvLauncher ?
- Press RButton during 200ms (ShowDelay var)
____________________________________________________

How to launch a shortcut ?
- Display the LvLauncher
- Double click on the row
____________________________________________________

How to add a shortcut ?
1) If shortcut is a file or a folder
- Display the LvLauncher
- Drag it on the listview
2) If shortcut is not a file or a folder
- Display the LvLauncher
- Press RButton on the listview
- Click on "Add"
- In the first inputbox, type the shortcut
- In the second inputbox, type the shortcut's name
____________________________________________________

How to remove a shortcut ?
- Display the LvLauncher
- Press RButton on the listview
- Click on "Delete"
____________________________________________________

How to modify a shortcut ?
1) LvLauncher method
- Display the LvLauncher
- Press RButton on the listview
- Click on "Edit"
____________________________________________________

How to save shortcut ?
- Display the LvLauncher
- Press RButton on the listview
- Click on "Save"
____________________________________________________

How to organise rows? (From netfun81 suggestions)
- Display the LvLauncher
- Select one or more rows
- Drag them (to activate ReplaceRows function)
- Drag the row to place previous rows below
____________________________________________________

Others features:
- Rearrange: sort the listview with default settings, hide the headers and set gui default size
- Refresh : cancel all changes since the last save
- Header : show/hide headers and all columns

Download links :
LvLauncher v0.1
LvLauncher v0.2
LvLauncher v0.3
LvLauncher v0.4 Last Update!

EDIT 24/11/2010 :
- Added : Shortcuts can be grouped by section
- Modified : Code rewritten to work with AHK_L
- Modified : Shortcuts names can be directly changed in the listview by pressing F2
- Modified : Columns order
- Modified : "Earth" icon for Urls and "Star" for other shortcuts
- Deleted : Useless options (Msgbox, Default section...)
- Fixed : Default browser issue (icons)

This script need some improvments so pleeasse, post you critics, ideas or anything else constructive!

You should post a small description on how to use it and maybe add some screenshots...

I downloaded it but I have to look at the code to know how to trigger it and you know, life is short... ;)

i have looked in the source but did not execute it now. May be later I try more. One thing which I saw is you have made an ini parser. May be you are interested in my Basic Ini String Library: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46226
Most of the functions are made with one regex call (with some other codes).

(until update of my ini lib, there is a small bug in ini_save() routine. but the function is not needed really)

not bad, easy to use. A couple suggestions:

1. add "CoordMode, Mouse, Screen" to the beginning of ur script then it will appear under the mouse even if another window is open.

2. add a msg box confirming deleting in case of an accident drag.

3. make ctrl and drag organize the list instead of alphabetical order, or any other hotkey :)

4. Would be cool if you could remove the shortcut arrows from the icons

good work, i love launchers

Thanks for your posts!

Is there a problem in my solution or yours. In the first case, could you give me what you found as problem please?!

@netfun81:
I agree with 1 & 2, they will be in v0.2
For 3, I already thougth about this rearrange method but without success
Could you be more explicit for 4?

@TomXIII.. what I meant by #4 above is that the icons show the shortcut arrow like all shortcuts, but because the icons are small the arrow blocks the icon too much. One way to fix this would be to resolve the shortcut to the actual program. To get around it I just dragged the actual program to the launcher.

Hello TomXIII, I like it! :)

I especially like drag&drop, extracted icons, simplicity, functions + nice icon in tray menu. 8)
Maybe to implement "release to select" method --> 2 clicks less...

Thanks for your posts!

@netfun81 : For points 1, 2 & 3 = Mission Accomplished!
For point 4, I didn't watch a shortcut arrow.

I was thinking about modified "release to select" method like in Radial menu v3+.
So here, in LvLauncher it would be something like this:
- when you press&hold Rbutton longer than ShowDelay, LvLauncher apperas
- if you release Rbutton above item in Lv, script sends double click --> MouseClick, Left,,, 2 --> this launches item, and after that, Gui, hide
- if you release it ahywhere else, LvLauncher concludes that you want to add/edit items, it stays displayed, and behaves normally, like current system in LvLauncher
Just a quick, not elaborated idea...

New version: v0.3
Added:
- Ctrl+A : Select all rows
- Now the launcher is always on top
- Folders can be launched in the current explorer window by dragging the row (without open another one)

Modified:
- Bug : the regex in ReplaceRows() was not efficient if paths have "\E" in their values
- Shortcuts list can be orgnised by pressing ctrl during drag operations (instead of the previous method)
- Some functions, MsgBox and display methods

@netfun81 : I'm sorry but works fine for me and I don't have Vista (I really don't want it)!

@Learning one : I spend a large part of this afternoon to try to code your method but nothing good.

If you have problem with \E in Regex:
temp01 wrote:
You could just replace the special characters with StringReplace or RegExReplace e.g.
Code:
str = files\Example ... And later \Q and so on.
regex = files\Example

msgbox, % RegExReplace(str, "\Q" RegExReplace(regex, "\\E", "\E\\E\Q") "\E")
; or
msgbox, % RegExReplace(str, RegExReplace(regex, "[\\.*?+[{|()^$]", "\$0"))

an answer to my wish request: replace option for \E and \Q in regex
or make the \E to \e if it is somehow possible without breaking the Regex.
