◆ Known issues (Nov. 10, 2023)

◆ Threat detection by security software

In recent years, the number of cases in which CLaunch is determined to be a threat by security software has increased dramatically. Before publishing software on this site, I check it with VirusTotal in advance. The number of threats detected is only a few before uploading to the server, but the number increase to several dozen within a day or two after publication and then gradually decrease over several months. This is a recent trend.
The number of threats detected in the Zip version of CLaunch v4.06 64-bit has decreased to 5 as of April 7, 2024, but the number of detected threats in the installer version is still high at 29. However, the files included in the Zip version and the installer version are completely the same, and the installer version is actually a self-extracting Zip archive created using pon software's Explzh. Explzh is a proven software that is provided for a fee to companies and has a digital signature, so there should be no major difference in security between the Zip version and the installer version.
The 32-bit version has tended to be judged more strictly than the 64-bit version, but the source code is over 99.9% the same. (I just use conditional compilation to switch the method of subclassing common controls.)
The reason for this is probably simply a difference in the number of downloads. Monthly data reported by Vector shows that the 64-bit version is downloaded five times more than the 32-bit version.

◆ Folder Contents Menu of the Recycle Bin

If you restore a file by drag-and-drop from Recycle Bin that is displayed by the Folder Contents Menu, the filename will be changed to indefinite string.
When you want to restore a file from Recycle Bin, right-click on the target file in the Folder Contents Menu to display a context menu and select "Undo".

◆ Applications that cannot be registered properly

There are some applications shortcuts, such as Microsoft Office, that cannot be registered properly even if they are dragged and dropped to the buttons.
For those applications, register by the following procedure.

  1. Launch the application you want to register.
  2. Right-click on a blank button and select "Register Item" from the menu.
  3. Click the "Existing Windows" button in the "Register Item" dialog box.
  4. A list of running applications will be displayed. Select the target application and click the OK button. (If you cannot find the application you want to register, click the "Window Picker" button and then anywhere in the target application window, and the target item in the list will be automatically selected.)
  5. Confirm that the path name is entered in the "File / URL" field, and click the OK button.

◆ Extended mouse buttons

To use assignment of the middle button, assign the "middle-click" for it by the setting of the mouse driver.
To use assignment of the X1 button and X2 button, assign the "Back" and "Forward" for each button.

◆ Alpha channel of the skins

The skins that contain the image files that are used the alpha channel have the following limitations.

◆ Combination with mouse gesture software

If you use a mouse gesture software together with CLaunch, the mouse button used by the gesture may not work for click functions of CLaunch. For example, if right button is used as the start action of gestures, right double-click may not work properly with CLaunch.
