Don't like all the icons on your desktop?
You need only one: AppStarter

New version 1.2
- Dialog now quits after starting an App
- Config-file to change Apps and Icons

Used Icons: Crystal 64x64pix: http://everaldo.com/crystal/?action=downloads

Fine little program. But after one hour spent completing it with all my purchase stores, clicking an icon no more started the right place in my browser.

In fact, in the AppStarter.conf
EXEC17="defaultbrowser - https://secure.vertbaudet.fr/espaceclient.aspx"
must be replaced by
EXEC17="defaultbrowser https://secure.vertbaudet.fr/espaceclient.aspx"

Remove this dash before url . Claoudapps is repaired. But pls correct the bug. And have a nice day.

I use AppStarter as a desktop folder.

I click on that "folder" to see the screen shot menu below instantaneously.

The folder was automatically populated with all the App icons shown.

The first icon in the top left corner loads my default browser. Then default email etc.

My AppStarter has no bug, but if Apps, descriptions and icons are changed manually then care is needed.

I am currently using Precise 5.4/5.5 and AppStarter replaces almost all of the traditional pre-set desktop icons which I deleted (with the exception of the original Trashcan icon) after installing AppStarter.

yours has no bugs, it is Cloudapps that puts a hyphen when adding a site, manually.
Again, Apps Starter is a very appreciated pet.

Pelo,

You wrote:

"but in fact Cloudapps is base[d] on APPs Starter"

Yes, but you are in the wrong thread. This is the thread of
the original author of AppStarter 1.2.

Anyone can use it as a base, changing all or any of the
Apps, but any errors will have arisen from carelessness as
opposed to a bug in the pet of AppStarter downloadable
from the first post above.

Anyone can try this excellent pet, which is easily deleted
if not wanted, or should it not work automatically and
immediately.
