Handy little shortcut for Trinket?

warpwar's picture

Sorry to post another one of these so soon, but I just had this idea and I think it is a good one.

Add to the "activate, deactivate, etc," commands for each layer in trinket, an "activate & run" function. This would automatically run the program in the layer after it is activated.

You could just add this to the list, of you could give users the option of replacing the regular activate with this.

Once again, thank you for hearing me out.

Current Options

Here’s a way to do this currently: Put a copy of the .lnk (shortcut) in one of the common run keys such as Start Menu\Programs\Startup ([COMMONSTARTUP] or [STARTUP]) or the Run key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run)

The contents of these locations are launched whenever a layer is activated. I use this method to launch iTunes when I enable it. Very convenient.

If you use Wise Package Studio 7 you have an addition option. You can assign scripts and processes to common SVS operations like Enable and Disable.
