Product Description:

Application Wizard provides easy access to your applications, documents and pictures.

Application Wizard lets you quickly open, quit, and make applications active, turn single application mode on, and quit background-only applications and the Finder.

With Application Wizard you can also navigate volumes and frequently used folders to quickly open enclosed items, easily access favorite files, recent folders, Address Book contacts and your iPhoto or Aperture library, preview images, music, movies and PDF files, copy pictures and display slideshows, view the metadata associated with files and check system memory usage.

What's new in this version:

  • The incompatibilities with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard have been solved. In addition to that, the Application Wizard preference pane is now 64-bit capable on Snow Leopard.
  • On Macs with a 64-bit processor and Snow Leopard, the Quit and Switch menus now mark 32-bit applications instead of 64-bit applications.
  • On Macs with a 64-bit processor and Snow Leopard, applications can be opened in 32-bit mode directly from the Open menu by selecting them and pressing the Control key. In addition to that, Application Wizard lets you customize applications so that they always open in 32-bit mode.
  • On Snow Leopard, Application Wizard calculates file and disk sizes using the decimal system (1 KB = 1,000 bytes, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes, ... ).
  • The Login Window item can now be added to the Special menu, so that you can quickly lock your screen while you are away from your computer.
  • Besides moving files to the Trash and copying them to the desktop, the Special menu lets you now move or copy files to any folder or disk. To move or copy a file, select it in the Special menu and choose the Move to or Copy to command, respectively.
  • Application Wizard lets you now disable previews for specific file types. To disable previews for one or more file types, select the Do not preview files with extension checkbox in the Previews panel and enter the corresponding extensions.
  • On Mac OS X 10.5 or later, the configuration of hot keys has been revised so that Unicode keyboards and the F17, F18, F19 keys are now supported. In addition to that, keypad keys appear in square brackets [ ] in the General pane of the Application Wizard preferences and hot keys are now disabled in full screen mode.
  • On Mac OS X 10.5 or later, the management of the Application Wizard login item has been revised to solve possible incompatibilities.
  • A bug that prevented paths from being displayed in the Configure Special Menu dialog despite the Info button was turned on has been fixed.
  • A bug that could cause Application Wizard to crash under particular circumstances when the depth of folders added to the Open menu was changed has been fixed.
  • Several other minor bugs have been fixed and some other minor improvements have been introduced.
  • Minimum required system version is now Mac OS X 10.4.

Application Wizard ReviewCannot add preference panes to group - Version: 2.3.2, 8/9/2008 02:15PM PST

Ok, I tried to reduce the startup time by creating a startup group and adding apps that were getting loaded during login. I am unable to add preference panes, daemons, etc to the group so I can lazy load them as I don't really need them the very second I login. But when I navigate to Library/PreferencePanes, all the items under it are grayed out whereas I need to navigate well deeper into say: LazyMouse Preference pane > Content > Resources > LazyMouse but I can't even get past Library/PreferencePanes because they are grayed out. Drag-n-drop items is not enabled either. So, although I was able to add a few items to my startup group, I am really confused if it is reducing the startup time and saving me any time or is it really worth it. What's the reason adding preferences panes, daemons, etc is disabled? Without this option, I don't think this application is replete with features... Are the developers going to add these features to it?

I bought this software shortly after buying my new Mac over a year ago because I need a faster method to manage OS X. I don't know how anyone can navigate OS X efficiently without Application Wizard.
