About

Ever need to set an application's memory size higher to open a large document? You'll need to find the application, do a Get Info and change the size, then change it BACK when you quit. Or, do you have several large programs that are set to use a lot of memory? Whenever you need to use two of them at the same time, you go through the same process to keep the first one from using the memory the others need. LaunchControl can do all this for you, and more, whenever you open an application (even by clicking a document icon - you'll never need to locate the application itself again.) Just hold down a hot key when opening, and you'll get a dialog that lets you: - Open at the minimum, maximum (the maximum size is displayed), or any other size in between. - Save the new size if you like. - Cancel, if memory is too low and you don't want to wait for the program to start up, quit and free up more memory, and start it again. Version 1.1 adds the ability to change the modifier keys used to invoke LaunchControl. (The default is the Control key, which conflicts annoyingly with OS8's Contextual Menus.) this is done directly from the LaunchControl dialog - no Control Panel required! LaunchControl is fully functional $10 shareware. For more info and the latest version, see
