[Win7] Jumplist Extender - Add jumplists to any program! (RELEASE 0.4)


Recommended Posts

@Angel Blue01: Thanks :) Technically, Extender can overwrite existing jumplists, but the target program can change it back at any time, so it won't work. E.g. If your program has a "recently used" section, it'll be changing the jumplist a lot so your custom one won't show. Haven't figured out how to stop that yet, but try and see!

@th3rEsa: Yeah, you can just put "mIRC" as the title, without quotes.

Jumplist Extender v0.2 is released! Upgrading is STRONGLY recommended, since this fixes some major bugs.

DOWNLOAD:

JumplistExtender_v0.2.exe (1.21MB)

GPLv3 Source: hg clone -b "Version0.2" http://mercurial.robotnik.ws/JumpList

CHANGELOG: (pretty much the same as above)

Version 0.2 is a BUG FIX release.

ADDED/CHANGED:

* Upgrade timelock removed. v0.1 is timelocked after May 31, whereas v0.2 is not timelocked at any date!

* Additional options for keyboard tasks: Ignore if program is not running, or if it is.

* UAC windows can now receive jumplists! (#49)

FIXED:

* Command line task creation will sometimes crash. (#41)

* When saving, taskbar icons will sometimes shift position (#37)

* UAC/administrative windows cannot accept jumplists or their tasks (#49)

* [Critical] "Access denied" when selecting a UAC/administrative main window. (#47)

* [Crit][T7EBg] "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component." (#42)

* [Crit] "Cannot find central directory" when importing a broken jumplist pack (#45)

* [Crit] "The process cannot access the file 'AppSettings.xml' because it is being used by another process." when importing a jumplist pack and canceling (#46)

KNOWN ISSUES:

* Installer does not place correctly or delete shortcuts for regular, non-administrative users (#12)

* [Critical][T7EBg] "An item with the same key has already been added" (#51)

* [Crit][T7EBg] "The path is not of legal form." (#52)

http://code.google.com/p/jumplist-extender/issues

64-BIT USERS: If some of your jumplist tasks stopped working for built-in Windows applications (e.g. Calculator, Snipping Tool,) download this replacement script to fix the problem:

http://jumplist.gsdn-media.com/JLE_Common.ahk (Right click, "Save Target As")

Save it to "%appdata%\JumplistExtender\AHK\JLE_Common.ahk" , and that should fix the problem. I'm including this fix with a minor v0.2-B release, upcoming during the week...

BUG NOTE: Has anyone had a problem where your previously created jumplists won't be saved/refreshed if you tried to edit them? Such a problem is described here:

Now, I found a few glitches while testing the program. Creating a jumplist from scratch works fine, but editing it is a completely different story. Most of the times changes won’t be saved until you “reset” the list by disabling and enabling it again. Besides those bugs, however, it’s still a very useful app for all of us who miss jumplists everywhere!

But this is the very first time I've heard this bug, so I have trouble figuring out what's wrong. Please let me know if you've experienced this, too! If you don't have a Neowin account, send me mail! [email protected]

Jumplist Extender Version 0.2-B is released!

A couple bug fixes, but if you experienced some weirdness with your tasks (especially 64-bit users,) update with this release!

NOTE THAT v0.1 will expire on May 31st! If you're running v0.1, update to v0.2-B!

Download

Install: JumplistExtender_v0.2-B.exe (1.62MB)

GPLv3 Source:

hg clone -b "Version 0.2" http://mercurial.robotnik.ws/JumpList

Changelog

Version 0.2-B is a MINOR BUG FIX release.

ADDED/CHANGED:

* Programs dialog now shows all program folders, including pinned taskbar and start menu shortcuts!

* Weird task behaviors, regarding opening a new window and ignoring absent/currently open windows, are fixed. Also, UAC tasks are guaranteed to run!

* Updates are made more prominent, with a link on the main window as well as a balloon reminder.

FIXED:

* [x64] Jumplist tasks for built-in Windows programs (e.g. Paint) failed to run

* [Crit] Programs dialog crashed when selecting folder shortcut

* Tasks would sometimes not work, especially UAC tasks

* [installer] Start menu shortcuts were not correctly placed or deleted for regular, non-administrative users (#12)

Jumplist Extender v0.2-C is released!

This release fixes MSI shortcut handling, so any program that uses MSI (e.g. Microsoft Office) returns the correct EXE file. Check the official website for a changelog.

Download: JumplistExtender_v0.2-C.exe

Great to see this project active. Just installed v0.2C.

When I try to import the Firefox.jlp from the website, I get the following error:

jlerror1-1.png

(the German part of the sentence says A part of the path [pixelated username] could not be found.)

Something wrong on my end?

Thanks for your input! That's a weird bug, and I don't experience it... can you check to see if there's an "Imported" folder in the icons? Follow these steps:

1. Go to "%appdata%\JumplistExtender\Icons" in Windows Explorer

2. If there is no folder that is named "Imported" (in English,) create that folder.

3. Try importing the pack again

Let me know!

Sorry for the double post, ran out of time to edit my previous post.

Anyway, here's something that might help. You surely have noticed the differences between the Firefox icon Windows naturally uses in the Firefox jumplist and the one Jumplist Extender displays when you point it to the official icon. I've extracted the icon so now they look the the same. Compare original with tweaked. Maybe it helps :) . Here's the icon, feel free to use it since it's inside the original Firefox.exe:

Sure thing! That happens because I don't have Extender looking for the small icons -- it just resizes the big ones. I'll see if I can rectify that. I reuploaded the pack too :)

  • 1 month later...

I try to create my own or add the calculator and firefox jumplist pack, but nothing happens after clicking the new jumplist items, no warning or any actions.

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bits, firefox 3.6.7, and Jumplist Extender 0.2 C.

It is my first time using this program.

  • 4 weeks later...

I have a problem when installing 0.2-C.

First i got this error:

I'm in love with this program.

To tell the truth, after using keyboard launchers, memorizing arbitrary hotkeys etc. for over a decade, I'm just so tired. I seriously can't take any more of this pointless memorizing of custom hotkeys, program names and commands. Visual commands are just so much easier.

I'm not sure I explained myself very well (I'm tired) but let's just say that this program is gold.

  • 2 months later...

I just found out about this fantastic program.

Is anyone else having issues accessing the website currently? I am not having any luck and I tried two different connections.

yes, I am having issues with http://jumplist.gsdn-media.com/ and http://mercurial.robotnik.ws/JumpList.

fwiw, http://code.google.com/p/jumplist-extender/ is still up.

For those looking for the source: Find it in the Google Code downloads page. Sorry for taking so long to post it: (a.) My host disappeared without me ever knowing, and (b.) I no longer work on the project (partly because the source became too unruly for me!)

FYI, if you're running on another language besides English (like German), then you've probably witnessed JLE not doing its job. The reason why is that the shortcut replacements (the ones that actually contain the jump list) are not being pinned to taskbar. Pinning to taskbar is done by a mandatory workaround: It takes the text from the "Pin to Taskbar" and "Unpin to Taskbar" menu options, and executes them automatically. However, it does not work when the text is in another language, like German or Spanish.

So here's how to fix that:

1. Go to "C:\Program Files\Jumplist Extender". Open "PinShortcut.vbs".

JLE_ReplaceStrings.png

2. You'll need to replace the "Pin" strings (shown in blue above). To see them in your language, right-click on any program shortcut in Windows Explorer. Replace the text above with the following, in your language:

JLE_ShortcutPinStrings.png

3. Do the same for the two "Unpin" strings (shown in green above). First, take that same program shortcut and PIN it to both the taskbar and start menu, so that the unpin menu options show up. Then replace the text above with the following, in your language:

JLE_ShortcutUnpinStrings.png

4. Save the script and try it out. Custom jump lists should work now in your language.

Note for jump list coders: Firefox presents the best solution for automatically pinning shortcuts: it looks up the specific language string in shell32.dll, so shortcut pinning works in any language. See source (search "shell32.dll" for relevant section).

Jumplist Extender v0.3 is released! Non-English (foreign language) users are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to download this release, as this fixes a major bug!

Download v0.3 (1.62 MB)

FIXED:

  • Non-English systems would not apply jump lists to the taskbar. This has now been fixed.
  • Broken update check would display weird code in the menus.
  • Old web links were broken, but now fixed.

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • Recent file history cannot be used with jump lists.

Some testing of this release would be appreciated :)

Jumplist Extender v0.3-B is released!

Download v0.3-B (1.7 MB)

FIXED:

  • Log files were being made on the Desktop by mistake.
  • Various other minor quirks.

Again, non-English users (especially German) should try this release out, since it should make Jumplist Extender work in your system!

In other news, I'm looking over the bug reports listed on the code page (finally). I'll respond to them at some point this week.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating.

A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.
