Launchpad-Control | 18. August 2011

With the release of Launchpad-Control v1.2 it is now time to look back and thank you all!

As I’ve published Launchpad-Control 3 weeks ago, I never thought that so many people have the same problem as me. Till now Launchpad-Control has been downloaded over 60,000 times! An incredible number.

The number of visitors exploded and all this at a time when I certainly was not in the country. Shortly after the publication, I spent 14 days in Norway - without Internet and telephone.

When I came back I saw what I had missed:
It seems as if my site has never been visited before launchpad Control. Well, I’ll admit, it wasn’t really. :P (“Besuche” = visitors)

A big thanks to you for your comments, suggestions, help and donations!
Thank you for spreading the word over blogs and social networks!

A special thanks goes to @TheJTizzle for the new icon that he made for Launchpad Control. The old one was really terrible.

Greetings
Andreas

PS: I hope you like the new version!

Launchpad-Control – Update #1

Allgemein | 28. July 2011

Already upgraded to Mac OS X Lion? Yes? Well then you certainly know Launchpad, the “home for your apps” like Apple says.

A huge disadvantage of the Launchpad is that every app that is located in your /Applications folder is shown. That means you will see little helper programs like uninstallers or updaters. These apps can’t be hidden easily from Launchpad because there are no such preferences.

Therefore I developed:

Launchpad-Control

Launchpad-Control is a small tool which allows you to easily hide/unhide apps (and groups) from launchpad in Mac OS X Lion.

Update #1: This tool is now a system preference pane! No need to have an additional app on your mac. Once you open the file it “installs” itself into the system preferences where it can be found under “Launchpad”. Isn’t that great?

This app is my first Cocoa project. Great thing that developing native apps for iOS really teach you how to develop for Mac OS X, too.

Please feel free to distribute and talk about this app on blogs, twitter or websites. I would really appreciate that.

Features

  • It’s a system preference pane (update #1)
  • Displays a table with all apps that are in Launchpad
  • Checkboxes for every app allow you to easily specify apps you want to hide or show
  • Backups/Restores your original database file
  • It’s completely free!

Download

Download Launchpad-Control now. It’s free!


Mac OS X Lion only (makes sense, huh?! ;) ) – 211 KB

Update 1.3

Geolaria, Updates | 17. May 2011

Now the bug that caused the Geoms to stop or delay spawning is really fixed. Another bug was found by Xeres – the experience bar didn’t display the right values. This is fixed now. Additionally I fixed a graphics bug at the scroll bars of the high scores.
If there is a new version of Geolaria available there will be a note in the main menu of the game.

You see, development keeps going on. Apple will release the version 1.3 of Geolaria this day. Desura is fed since some days with the newest version and my website is now updated, too.
