Relaunch 1.1

Relaunch is now at 1.3.5, and can handle the "saved set" behavior requested above. Now, if it did Entourage, or worked with one of the Firefox tab savers...

ok i take back my earlier comment, it's cool that it can re-open documents.

Hi, thanks again for your comments.

Hame.ish, you're right, I'm not sure what the behaviour here would be. I can have a look into it, but I can't make any promises at this stage.

mono, yep that's definitely something I'm looking at for a future release.

Previously I had one computer for my music and Photoshop and another to run the rest. Now I'm stuck with one TiBook and although having many programs open is better implemented in OSX, it is cumbersome and I have found, error inducing, to have very demanding applications open at the same time.

So I would like to have sets of applications and open documents that I can switch between. Does Relaunch do this?

Richy, quick question. if I wanted to use this an an alternative to putting my machine to sleep (I have some issues doing that currently for some reason)
I'd like to point out a scenario which might be a problem.
I use virtuedesktops and have about 6 virtual desktops each with apps sitting in different spaces, I assume using reluanch I'll just have my apps launhced in the one desktop and have to move them all afterwards.
Still handy, but worth thinking about I guess

Brandon, it will open Word documents and Safari sites (although currently only the upmost tab in each Safari window i.e. it doesn't fully support Safari tabs yet)

That was my question: will it open Word docs and Safari sites? That would save my bacon often.

Thanks for your comments, I'm the developer who wrote Relaunch. The app actually supports and can restart all applications, as of v1.2 Relaunch can also open documents that were open within the applications (i.e. if you've got 5 open Word documents it will open all five of them, rather than just restarting word). Currently this behaviour works for 20 popular document based apps and I'm working on the rest... :)

Interesting. The app supports "monitoring" of only a select set of applications. So presumably if you have a bunch of unsupported apps open, Relaunch wouldn't be able to re-open them upon reboot...

I must be the only one then that thinks this app is a great idea...
