Title: New Tool: Window Switcher Post by: nadr on December 01, 2018, 11:09:00 am Hey guys. I got back into the game recently and got frustrated with the Alt+Tab hell of managing 12 toons. I wrote a program that will let you easily name and switch to specific windows. It's pretty rough atm, but if there's interest, I'll clean it up.
Basically, you use the top half to add a process. It's nearly the same as what you'd write in a .bat file for MQ2AutoLogin, but you can add a name. When you hit "Save", it'll add to the list on the left. To start EQ, you can either select from the list and hit "StartProcess" or hit "Start All" to start everything in the list. After you get things running, selecting an item in the list will maximize the selected window and minimize the rest. To get the app, download it from https://github.com/bartam/windowSwitcher/releases. I'm not a windows dev, but fingers crossed, it should just work. If you run into problems, the best place to reach me is on github: https://github.com/bartam/windowSwitcher. I'll do my best to help.

Title: Re: New Tool: Window Switcher Post by: Pubis on December 02, 2018, 05:45:51 pm I love the idea. I hate relying on the window ordering in Windows because if I crash or one doesn't start up they are out of order and there's no way I can find to reorder them. However does the tool always maximize windows? Is there a way to change it?

The only thing that happens when you push the start button is that it attempts to run the process. Basically "start {command}". I'll read up on the specifics, but double check that the command is right. Quote Was unable to launch after the first usage. I'm getting a permission error even when running as admin. That's weird. I'll run some tests on my end. Quote I love the idea.

I had to disable AVG. Title: Re: New Tool: Window Switcher Post by: Sarthin on December 05, 2018, 08:37:39 am Isboxer/Inner Space is what I have always used. It does cost $15/$50 per 90/365 days, unless you join their Discord and snag a coupon code(not always available). Each to their own if it's worth it or not. They do have a free trial though so you can test it out before you decide.
Software includes making character sets, starting all clients, hotkeys to switch windows, broadcast system, sweet client windows layouts and much more. https://ibb.co/rFmZmZV (https://ibb.co/rFmZmZV) <- Picture of the layout I use currently. Not sure why [img] tag didn't work.. |
