I really wish that this could be ported to Windows or Linux. I haven't heard much from the developer about that when asked; but it seems like a far fetched goal right now.
Does anyone have suggestions for Windows that aren't Launchy (or, Launchy addons/improvements to use)?
- techwizrd 13y agoFor Linux, there is Synapse (which seems to have replaced GNOME-Do). https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/synapse/ https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/synapse/
- blumkvist 13y agojust glanced over it, because im terribly busy, check out gnome-do.
- LTheobald 13y agoI wouldn't hold your breath on that. The Alfred team are sticking to what they are good at - Mac development. Porting something to Windows (and doing it natively) is a huge chunk of work & all the time you wouldn't be working on improving the existing product.
- tuxcanfly 13y agoFor linux there's Kupfer [0] which is really awesome and easily scriptable in python. [0] http://engla.github.io/kupfer/ http://engla.github.io/kupfer/
- gaving 13y agoRegularly disappointed there isn't a better solution on Windows (other than Launchy). Mind you, regularly disappointed I have to actually use Windows on a daily basis so.
- ecaradec 13y agoYou can try mine http://emmanuelcaradec.com/qatapult http://emmanuelcaradec.com/qatapult which is more of a replacement for Quicksilver than for Alfred. It's a bit on hold for the moment but you can extend it in javascript and build new skins as well. It's definitively not as polished as Alfred and there are a few things that are broken like catalogs. Before that I used FARR which I like better than Launchy and is more like Alfred ihmo, it has a ton of options and can trigger some plugins on regex matchs.
