Desktop Switcher!
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
This handy little tool allows management of multiple desktops.
|
|
Invoking the app creates or opens a number of desktops and allows the user
|
|
to switch between them with the click of a button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
USAGE:
|
|
|
|
switcher [-t numthreads]
|
|
|
|
Numthreads is the number of desktops you wish to manage.
|
|
The maximum is currently 10.
|
|
|
|
A small viewport to each desktop will appear in the app's client area.To switch
|
|
to a particular desktop, right click its viewport. Alternately, press the
|
|
function key which corresponds to the desktop, e.g., press F2 to get to
|
|
Desktop2. To switch to a desktop when switcher doesn't have the focus,
|
|
press CTRL+F#, where F# is a function key.
|
|
|
|
To temporarily enlarge the view of the desktop, left click it. A
|
|
"preview" window will appear until you release the button.
|
|
|
|
To invoke an application on a desktop, enter its name in the edit control
|
|
and hit Enter or click the Run Me button.
|
|
|
|
If you exit switcher then restart, apps you invoked on other
|
|
desktops should still be there.
|
|
|
|
To add another desktop, click the "New Desktop" button or type alt+n.
|
|
|
|
Note that you can run progman or winfile on any desktop. Each instance of these
|
|
will in turn execute apps on the proper desktop, thanks to EricFlo.
