Batch files are a piece of cake. And it's no surprise that OD can run them.

Here's the catch:
Open a new text file, and start typing the name and path of the app you want to run.
Suppose I want to run Firefox, I'll type:



And if I want to open a specific page in Firefox, I'll type:



The text above will open Firefox with WinCustomize and Stardock's sites open. The part to remember is to put a space between the two URLs.

And if I want to start Firefox and Windows Media Player and Notepad at the same time, I'll type each on it's own line:



And if I want to end any application, I'll append "taskkill/im " in front of the app's name, like this:


^This will close Firefox, in this example above.

And suppose I want to start Notepad, exit Firefox and Windows Media Player and then I want to open my Scripts folder, here's what I'll type:



See, ObjectDock can point to anything. Almost anything

Oh, so you made an ObjectDock gallery submission out of it too?
That'd come in use for tech newbs, I guess

thanks Pixeleo for your very interesting replies,
I used the complete path to the applications not the filenames
instead the only way to close them is to use the filenames as you said,
I'm wondering if you (or someone else) will make a "batch launch docklet" just to avoid the manual setting, it would be great !

... even better ! what the developers think about the "batch launch docklet" as a standard feature in the upcoming ObjectDock 2.0 ?
I also imagine a new kind of "composite icons" matching the batch content !

That's a nice idea, which means people would be able to add applications from the OD settings, without editing text files, etc.
Hope it's included

I hope too, it could be "one more" of the ObjectDock peculiar features !!  

BTW: to be copyrighted before the "great apple" will know about it !!

Hey Pixeleo ( or the one who knows)

is it possible to create a "batch shortcut launch" inserting a delay between the applications ?
