Home Page App Launcher

[HoldemMike]

This is a very useful widget as i have been able to add apps like skype and teamviewer and pokerstove which work fine.

However some apps seem to be corrupted when added, example i have put pokerstove app on and that works perfectly well, but when i tried to add Equilab that would not open up from app launcher and showed a pop up saying files corrupt.

Please post the paths to the bad files.

C:\Program Files\PokerStrategy.com\PokerStrategy.com Equilab\Equilab.exe

I did not realize you could do that, very nice feature:D

[johncc]

Very easy to do, I have everything poker related in there

[Botmac]

Party Poker not opening either. I think this is the right path, correct me if I'm wrong. Same with Ace poker drills.

C:\Programs\PartyGaming\PartyGaming.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ace Poker Solutions\Ace Poker Drills\Poker Drills.exe

Pity it doesnt do, URL Links

[udbrky]

URL links are not supported, unless you install a browser, make the link you wish to have in app launcher the home page, and then add that browser to the app launcher.

[madlion]

def should add URL's

[johncc]

Added Firefox and working fine

[HoldemMike]

Still have the same problem when try to add Equilab to app launceher ,

also the ipoker default you have set up forces HM2 to close if clicked ,

and would it be possible to set the ipoker default to a skin of your choice as opposed to Titan skin which i beleive is the current default.

Also dont seem to be able to add Camtasia App. as it does not seem to recognise link.

App Launcher should allow to launch scripts

[B-Money]

Aren't scripts a bit of a security threat if you don't know what you are doing? We've talked lots about opening up the Home Tab Widgets to all developers, but the security risk was too high.

Maybe you can write a .bat file and run that to launch your scripts?

I thought the AHK scripts have to have a exe running to launch them anyway?

If I'm behind the times on scripts, feel free to call me out. :-)

Well, the few scripts I personlly use aren't a risk, they are clicking buttons, some mouse actions and window movements. And yeah I know I could compile them to exe, but I make minor changes quite frequently, which is why I rather stick to the ahk-format.

Tbh, while I know a a lot of ppl are using scripts for all kinds of stuff, I obly cant say what percentage of possible HM2 Users use them and of course I can not judge wether this unknown percentage is big enough to justify any kind of security risk. All I can say - for me personally - an App Launcher doesn't make any sense if it doesn't launch all apps i want to launch.

Looking at TwoPlusTwo forums I think a lot of people are using AHK scripts to help them multitabling etc.

I think it would make sense to add this possibility to the app launcher. But that's obviously just my opinion.

[madlion]

Run, E:\Autohotkey\Scripts\yourautohotkeyfile.ahk
exit

Just compile .ahk script to .exe to launch your .ahk script LOLZ

I do this for a few buttons on my mouse setpoint is useless.

But yes please do add .ahks

I like this idea too. I had some AHK scripts in HM1 that would load some filters and export the hands to a folder on my desktop before you integrated SNGWiz. I have a few others that it I use for playing and it would be cool if I could launch them from HM2.

Also opening up the apps doesn't seem like it would be a huge problem, I see how it could be, but I think some cool things could come of it.

This is being discussed, but will be tabled until later.
