Relaunch - 1.3.9

I have not experienced any problems with the auto snapshot feature - it works fine for me; exacly as described.

Good piece of software which is now part of my everyday software kit bag. Love it.

A launcher with steroids, now in Italian too! Do you want to have a desktop exactly like the one you left when your wife/husband/child said you had to shut down your MAC because of that dinner at your friends'? No problem! Use Relaunch, and when you restart your machine, magic!, here it is: your desktop with all your applications and the documents you left too.

Indispensable.

I confirm: very nice little intelligent simple app.

TO THE DEVELOPER: if you want, send me all the dialogs of your app, and i will traslate them in Italian and Spanish, so you will have an Italian and a Spanish localized version of your app, and for free :-)

This program addresses a need that I have had for a long time. It memorizes all the open programs and in many cases each of their open windows. Why is this a big deal? For one reason, with tons of RAM and a stable operating system that never crashes, I find myself working months between reboots. I often get a complex configuration of programs and files open, and when Apple releases a system update (which usually requires a reboot), I find myself putting off installing it simply because it is so much hassle to reconstruct my workspace afterwards.

The more normal use of Relaunch will be to save worksets for different tasks. You may think that this functionality is available in other products, but AFAIK it is not. Some remember only running applications, but not open files/windows. Yes, you can make folders of aliases for some worksets, but hey, saving work is why we use computers, right? So let Relaunch do the work for you.

I can see some other areas where this program might be improved. Apparently, it is no small task to discern which files some programs have open, and thus it seems that each program needs to be treated as a separate case by the developer--thus, the list of such programs is growing but already substantial. (Relaunch remembers all _running_ programs but not necessarily their open files.)

I can also see some kind of interface for editing worksets and moving programs and/or files between them.

The developer has responded almost instantly to my e-mails and fixed a small bug within hours.

This isn't up to five-star status yet IMO because of the features that I've mentioned that I'd like to see, but use it as-is and you'll be very pleased. The program is insanely easy to use and the price is very reasonable.

Hopefully version 1.3 addresses the most commonly requested feature of Relaunch - the ability to save and launch multiple snapshots of applications.
