» Duh Button Launcher Plus (Freeware) v1.07b Description

Duh Button Launcher Plus allows you to quickly launch applications that are on your Palm OS Device, in your Palm OS device's memory card, or DA's (desk accessories) that are on your Palm OS device. You can map up to twenty applications, or DA's to each of the four hard buttons (datebook, contacts, to-do list, or notepad). The best part about this, is that DBLP acts like a DA! In other words, the DBLP launcher runs on top of the program you are currently running. So you can launch the DBLP launcher, change your mind about launching another application, and resume your work (as long as the ReturnDA is installed). The DBLP package includes several free DA's (desk accessories, or multitasking applications) in the archive for free. When you download DBLP, you get the ResetDA, PowerDA, DateTimeDA, ReturnDA, BatteryDA, and BigClockDA! My favorite of the DA's is the BigClockDA, which is a simple date/time clock that uses the fonts from the GNU Big Clock written by Jens Rupp (http://www.gacel.de/bigclock.htm). The included DA's are free, and you can find hundreds more online! DBLP not only launches applications, but includes a function to disable the card launching. In otherwords, the standard Palm OS launches "Applications" when you insert a memory card. The DBLP option disables this, so that you can insert a memory card without disrupting the application you are currently in. DBLP also includes an option to specify an application for the first hardware button. If you have a Palm OS TX, you know this issue first hand. Most Palm OS devices allow you to assign an application to each of the four hardware buttons. The Palm TX however, only allows you to assign applications to hardware buttons 2,3 and 4. The only option you have for hardware button one is the standard "Applications" launcher, and "Favorites." DBLP allows you to assign whatever you want to the first hardware button! Best part about DBLP, it's absolutely free! It doesn't cost you a dime! DBLP was developed by Andrew J. Diamond (Supertrucker). Download it now!! Update Description:
v1.07 (10/23/07) by Supertrucker:
  • Added a cleanup routine after the setup routine runs to empty out all the list variables and free up the memory.
  • Moved some more globals to locals.
  • Found the cause of the memory leak and fixed. File list building routines were hogging way too much memory. Rewrote routines from scratch.
  • Set MaxListItems to 250, if a user has MORE than 250 appl files only 250 will be displayed (250 in RAM, 250 on card, 250 DA's, etc.). This is minor nuisance unless a person actually has more than 250 appl's in one location. If set above 250, program randomly crashes, even though the variables don't exceed 32k. Will continue to work on this issue until I've exhausted all resources
v1.06 (10/22/07) by Supertrucker:
  • Quick fix to exit init procedure if allocation failed.
  • Lowered maxlist items to 275.
v1.05 (10/22/07) by Supertrucker [Holloween Update] (Bunch O Changes!):
  • Updated the documentation.
  • Updated installation documentation.
  • Remarked AppStopEvent code in the Event handler routine in setup. Event is now handled directly in the Event loop. This should fix the "setup loop/reset" crashes, but is not a solution to the underlying issue.
  • Limited all strings to 32 chars.
  • Repaired nasty bug in the bigclockDA.
  • Fixed the flickering bug seen while running the DBLP launcher.
  • Hb1 info box now properly displays app assignment, even if set by another app.
  • Fixed an instance when the file lists load that the "Please wait" dialog wouldn't go away.
  • Changed button labels to "Hard Button 1, 2, etc." per suggestion.
  • Localized several lists so that DBLP would allocate a lot less memory for globals.
  • Increased MaxListItems to 350.
