Is there an app that can make shortcuts similar to those used by ZLauncher et al? I don't need feel I need Power Run yet, I just need a shortcut to apps to enable me to group them in the relevant app group in the launcher.

My thought is that;
a) The "Standard" launcher (ie not the "OS5 CLIE Launcher") is perfectly adequate for what I need, just the problem with grouping apps that are on the MS. (hence the shortcut)
b) With Okey hack and the new WonderSilk skins, alot of the functionality of other launchers has been made redundant, ie quick launch lists etc)
c) Or course the ever present quest to save space.
d) I never feel completely "comfortable" with a third party launcher. I like the clean functionality of the Sony supplied ones. (I think) Read the "Zen-like Approach thread" for more info.

So, although I've digressed.....is there such a shortcut app?

You can use the demo version of LX to set them up.

The only flaw I see in your plan (at least it would be for me) is duplicate icons.  You realize you'd have 2 icons of everything you created a shortcut for?  (And with the out-of-the-box Clie Launcher, you have no way of hiding the extras...)

PowerRun would eliminate this problem.  ;)

just my nickel.

I use ShortCutz (available at PalmGear) - I think it will do what you want

Alright! Now were talking. I tried Shortcutz but it doesn't work with a few applications and causes errors, thanks for pointing me to it though, much appreciated. Then I tried PowerRun, although I thought I wouldn't need it yet, it really is good! I like it alot, the functionality is superb. I don't run the new NX OS5 launcher either, just the original style which seems to be so much more functional.

Next step for me is:
1) Find out if there is a way to run the SB *without* the time function. This is now top left of my screen anyway!
2) Find a SB Okey skin with full size datebook icon (ie not shared with battery as that is now also at the top of the screen)

By the way, can I put Clie Mail onto MS with powerun or is that considered a conduit app and won't hotsync my mail anymore? (I just get copies of my PC mail, I don't connect via the NX).

Thanks for your help gang, Yellow - I don't really know what a nickel is worth, we've adopted cents over in "old" Europe now but I think it'll be a while until we embrace the nickel. ;)
