Duh Button Launcher Plus 1.04b Just picked this up on PalmGear http://palmgear.com/index.cfm?fusea...0&prodid=135918 " Application Description Duh Button Launcher Plus allows you to quickly launch applications that are on your Palm OS Device, in your Palm OS device's memory card, or DA's (desk accessories) that are on your Palm OS device! You can map up to twenty applications, or DA's to each of the four hard buttons (datebook, contacts, to-do list, or notepad). The best part about this, is that DBLP acts like a DA! In other words, the DBLP launcher runs on top of the program you are currently running. So you can launch the DBLP launcher, change your mind about launching another application, and resume your work (as long as the ReturnDA is installed)......" Does this use Accessorizer, too? __________________ __________________________ Palm TX + 8 GB Adata Card/SDHC

When I click Done, I get a soft reset. __________________ My Palm family: Palm T\|X ~ Palm T\|E ~ m130 ~ m125 ~ POSE

Is there a way to contact the developer?

I saw some weird windows when pressing the hard buttons but never came out of a white screen. DIA was working and everything in the statusbar just, no other application was able to run... I did a soft reset and after that i still have the same problem with the please wait... __________________ yeah sorry jjf:)

Does this use Accessorizer, too?

Sounds to me like it's similar to PetitLaunch which on a HardButton press pops up a window and then you press any HardButton to launch an App, DA or Function (eg: Power Off) but only one per button.

You can also Grafitti a letter or letters to see an App or list of Apps in the window and then select.

However, PetitLaunch does not launch from the card unless the app is linked (eg: ZLauncher)

Pressing the 5Way Left dismisses the window if you change your mind

But I guess we will never know for sure unless the author fixes whatever

I tried the original Duh Button Launcher and could not get it to work either. I assigned it a HardButton but on press the App just flashed on the screen and disappeared

Oh well

All the best, woz of oz

scottl Apt? Yes, it can do that! Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: CT, USA Posts: 742	What gets me is that I can't even open the .ZIP file. I've downloaded each release from different sites and the zip always comes down corrupt. I'm using 7Zip and think I tried the latest PeaZip that came out around last week. What acrhiver are you folks opening it with? I get the feeling I spent money on apps I didn't need to if this works out. But hey, I supported a great developer.

I'm guessing it was comressed using the latest and greatest method... No way to distribute an app. Regardless, I'm happy to finally get to try it.

No - check the warning at the bottom of the Install notes...
