Dec 31, 2019
  • [BugFix] On some monitors with high text scaling the configuration dialog was cut off.
  • [MinorChange] Right-clicking on an item on a launch bar brings up a context menu for the file pointed to by the item; the delete/rename/cut context menu items for nodes work on the actual files, which may not be what the user expects.

New in Portable LaunchBar Commander 1.143.01 (Jan 3, 2015)

  • [Change] In an effort to avoid having significant changes to configuration tree lost on a crash -- the program now prompts you to save changes whenever you close the configuration tree.

New in Portable LaunchBar Commander 1.142.02 (Jan 3, 2015)

Should make it possible to use full screen games without LBC waking up.
