  • Nice plugin. It works perfectly fine on Launchy 2.5 However, as the found tasks are simply displayed as if they were a regular shortcut, it is very hard to distinguish between a shortcut and a running task. How it works: - Search for tasks only: Enter 'tasky' (without quotes) into launchy and the first search result ought to be "Tasky.tasky". Now press 'tab' to search in the list of all tasks. - Regular mode: Tasks are simply displayed as files The only difference is that instead of the path at the bottom of the found files in your catalog, a found task has the text "<ExecutableName>.tasky". Big downside: Because the plugin constantly has to update the tasks, it significantly reduces Launchy performance. I recommend using other tools, such as Windows Powertoys Run, which has the same feature. If Microfail managed to finally allow free Window-Positioning of the Powertoys-Run Window, Powertoys Run would completely replace Launchy.
  • Great idea, but seems like this project was abandoned at an early stage (like this is a draft / beta). It seems buggy and could use improvements. Oh well, too bad!
  • This is very helpful! I use it to have Launchy index my multiple Firefox tabs (because they are displayed as running tasks in the Windows 7 taskbar). I am using it on Windows 7 SP1 x64 with Launchy 2.5.0.

  • Doesn't appear to work w/Launchy 2.5. Maybe because they moved back to Visual Studio 2005?
  • Plug-in does not seem to work. Forum is not monitored.
