GNOME Launch Box
About GNOME Launch Box
Launch Box is generally an application launcher. It's very influenced by Quicksilver for Mac OSX. Remember that this is only a first release so don't get your hopes up too much. Launch Box is written for the GNOME 2.10 platform and depends on GTK+ 2.6, evolution-data-server 1.2 and gnome-menus. These are currently hard dependencies but the plan is to split out the backends into different optional backends.
Currently supported modules are:
- Application starting and launch
- Evolution contacts lookup and mail to
- Recent files lookup and open
- Files in your desktop and open
- Firefox bookmarks lookup and opening
Launch Box is the result of a Hackathon we had at Imendio in the weekend 8th-10th of January. The hackers participating where Anders Carlsson, Mikael Hallendal, Michael Natterer and Richard Hult.
