Backward Compatibility

In contrast to previous AppLaunch versions, the release 3.0 introduces real tilde expansion and tab completion. That means that you can type ~ and AppLaunch will look automatically in your home directory. This works also for ~name: The application uses the user names home directory.

Tab completion means that you only need to type the starting characters of a file or application name and AppLaunch will search for you all items that match this name after pressing the tabulator key.

The former AppLaunch version 1.0 stored only a simple set of information into your user defaults under ~/Library/Preferences/de.robertbienert.AppLaunch. Since this information may be useful for later releases, you may want to rename this file to net.sourceforge.applaunch or may want to copy it over the file net.sourceforge.applaunch instead.
