I suppose it's just a matter of preference but you can use match subtext to differentiate open windows from launching another application. I skimmed through the code so I missed that you match window names when no keyword is used so my second suggestion is unnecessary :) And while it isn't necessary to depend on libtaskmanager, it makes it easier in that you don't have to write your own slots/methods/additional if clauses for maximizing, minimizing, making windows sticky, etc. :) - Ryan ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
