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


Recommended Posts

Excuse me for the quadruple post: If anyone has tried to overwrite an existing jump list with their own custom one, can you please tell me the app you were customizing, and whether or not your custom jump list worked? It would help greatly so I can determine how to lock jump lists. Some programs behave way differently, here.

Known failed cases:

* Google Chrome 4.1 (does 12.0 have a jump list?)

* foobar2000 with Win7 Shell Integration

* Windows Live Mail 10?

* Opera 11

Known working cases:

* IE9

* Firefox 4

* Windows Live Mail 11

Hi,

I installed and tested the v0.3-B with no problem whatsoever (Win7 x64), the thing is... I tend to ALSO use the recent file history already featured in the jump lists. As I see, it is a known issue of your program : do you think it will be possible to combine both aspects (like part tasks and shortcuts, part recent history) in a future release, or is it not possible at all ?

(To retrieve my history, I simply unpinned and pinned again the programs, and the lists reappeared)

Thanks anyway, and good work ! It's a great utility script.

Ooops, I've just seen that you no longer work on this... Too bad !

Jumplist Extender v0.4 is released!

Download v0.4 (1.6 MB)

Version 0.4 is a MINOR BUG FIX release.

FIXED:

  • Command line tasks and EXE shortcuts were being executed with the wrong working directory.
  • Jumplist Packs could not be imported because the "AppData\...\Icons\Imported" folder was missing.

ADDED:

  • Keystrokes can now be sent to minimized/background windows without activating them.

KNOWN ISSUES:

@toweleeie: Yes, it's possible to combine custom jump lists and recent histories -- I just haven't implemented them. Look forward to a release in the future! Also, you can delete the jump lists under the "Open a previous jump list" window in order to get your recent history back.

DigiMarco! This is a fantastic idea!

Is there any way it could be used to fix the Windows 7 Explorer Frequent/Recent bug outlined here:

Basically once you disable history and reenable, Explorer forgets it is supposed to be Frequent and will only show Recent from then on. The articles describe the API required to switch between Frequent and Recent as well.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
