Needs qt4-4.3.2.pet installed. Run via Menu>Utility>Launchy, or use the default keystrokes Control+SpaceBar Then, start to type the name, of the app you want, then highlight it in the list, then press enter to start the app. N.B. Configuration file is in /root/.launchy

Many thanks for your work and this upload, muggins! I use Launchy frequently on windows systems and it is a really great tool. I now have installed your .pet on puppy 4.3.1. Unfortunately the very handy plug-in weby doesn't seem to work. When I use: "google <tab> search words" Launchy doesn't open the browser and starts the google search. This is a really convenient feature and to be honest the one I use the most. None of the other search machine patterns (YouTube,...) work. Does this Launchy feature work for you? The other plug-ins Runner and Calcy work fine. Of course I can use Launcy to open applications like Rox and so on. If you got some spare time left, thank you very much for your reply. Greetings, \mat |

Mat, I'm fairly sure the problem is with the "opener" code. Puppy uses "defaultbrowser" to open URLs and the Launchy linux code uses "xdg-open", which isn't exactly compatible. You could try my workaround here - http://cid-a3cf84e23b41f496.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/launchy%5E_2.1.2-1%5E_i386.pet Start puppy with "pfix=ram" and then install this Launchy pet, so as not to disturb your save file. If it works then that's it, if not ....it's something else. 
Cheers, s |

That does the trick! Fantastic, many thanks for your effort! The only minor thing not working right now is opening folders in a file manager using launchy. Quite useful, but I can live with that. So again, thanks for this pet and your work, Seaside, \mat |
