Trampoline 2.1 | Application Launcher Update

Posted by Scott | August 6, 2007 .

I’ve written previously about a completely unique visual application launcher for OS X called Trampoline.  Trampoline is called up by pressing a hotkey combination which presents you with a wheel of your favorite applications that you use most often but dont want taking up space in the dock.  I received an update from the developer that version 2.1 has just been released with a good number of bug fixes, and feature updates.

Trampoline version 2.1 release notes:

•added the ability to drag-hold an icon over a folder to open a new trampoline of that folder, allowing you to drag onto icons inside folders in the trampoline
• Added a setting to show a files label color.
• The “Show In Finder” and “Get Info” menu items (and their as- sociated key commands) will now use Path Finder if Path Finder is running and “Enable Reveal in Path Finder for third party applica- tions” is turned on in Path Finder’s preferences.
• added the ability to relaunch a running application either by pressing the ‘l’ key or by choosing the item from a contextual menu. (timeout is 2 minutes)
• added a “Force Quit” menu item to the contextual menu of run- ning applications.
• The “Add Special” popup button in the Items Preference now includes a submenu for the Applications folder, making it very easy to add most applications from within the Items Preferences.
• Added a “Delete Icon” menu item in the contextual menu of URLs, so you can change the icon of an URL in Trampoline.
• updated background appearance by adding a glasslike reflection, and changed the color cast of the bezel buttons to suit.
• The registration reminder icon no longer grows over time.
• added a paging prevention scheme to help Trampoline appear more quickly after it’s not been used for a while.
• fixed a bug where dragging onto an alias of a folder would not behave as expected (folder icon would not appear selected)
• fixed a bug with exposé via e key press.
• fixed an obscure memory bug
• Updated the help menu items to include old-jewel.com rather than the old oldjewelsoftware.com addresses.
• some behind the scenes cleanup.
