[QUOTE="NLS, post: 65440, member: 20102"] Let's clear things once and for all... [b]MyPrograms:[/b] - What is it: Plugin to call external programs with preset parameters plus dynamic parameters based on a list - Can use it's own menu list to call various programs: Yes (only method) - Can work (call program/s) directly from home: No - Method to add parameters: in plugin's configuration - Can use custom "button" names: Only for programs, not for root menu - Extras: Can import various databases and has nice database handling - Ease of use: 6/10 (best it could do due to the added functionality) - Minus: "too much" if you just need to call a program, not any development lately, no ability to position a program call directly in Home [b]MultiShortcuts:[/b] - What is it: Plugin to call external programs with preset parameters. - Can use it's own menu list to call various programs: Yes (by creating a "submenu" in Home plugin configuration and dropping the plugin instances in there - and in root at the same time if needed) - Can work (call program/s) directly from home: Yes - Method to add parameters: create windows shortcut with the parameters needed and call the shortcut instead of the program itself - Can use custom "button" names: Yes (set in plugin's configuration) - Extras: Can minimize MP during external program execution, can call anything that can be called from windows (like .scr, .bat etc.) - Ease of use: 7/10 (lower than it could since it involves copying the dll for each program called and then running -once for each program "installed"- a program that assigns an ID to the instance) - Minus: developer doesn't plan to update it any more, a hack (if anybody cares - I don't) [b]EasyApps/Future EasyApps:[/b] (please fill the blanks) - What is it: Plugin to call external programs... (add your own description) - Can use it's own menu list to call various programs: Yes (only method currently?) - Can work (call program/s) directly from home: ? - Method to add parameters: ? - Can use custom "button" names: ? (not currently?) - Extras: ? - Ease of use: planned to be simple - Minus: ? [/QUOTE]
