Comment (by humdinger):
Alternatively, a shortcut could run the app again, if it's set to
B_SINGLE_LAUNCH the existing instance will be notified then (through a
BMessage).
Yes, that was the alternative I planned to investigate. I'd prefer to have
the shortcut set in the Shortcuts prefs...
I'm wondering if a background app is the way to go here. It would mean a
slower startup time, as QuickLaunch will have to do this processing
everytime it starts. This will feel like Windows :(
I don't quite follow. QL right now is ''not'' a background app and does
the processing every time it's started. That's no problem, as it just dos
a simple query which seems to be cached to boot, so it's very fast.\\
But once I have to get the localized name for every app, it becomes too
slow. It's about .5 to 1s, depending on your hardware (ssd <-> usb-stick).
Doesn't sound like much - certainly tolerable when doing once at system
boot - but if you're used to its current immediate start, it's
unbearable.\\
Therefore the idea to have QL keep running in the background. Then I'll
only have to do the processing once when it auto-starts on boot. (And keep
the list of apps up-to-date with a live query).
