Switch5 is a PalmOS 5 app which provides a simple way to switch between recently used applications.
Think of it as a PalmOS 5 version of SwitchHack.
Instructions:
A stroke from the Home/Applications circle to the Menu circle causes the last previously used application to be launched.
A stroke from the Menu circle to the Home/Applications circle causes a list of the most recently used applications (maximum of ten) to appear. You then have ten seconds to tap on the application you want launched.
Notes:
Use at your own risk.
If a menu, popup list, or dialog box is active then the list of the most recently used applications will not appear.
The list of the most recently used applications is not backed up during HotSync and will be cleared by a reset.
Switch5 will need to be manually launched (one time only) if the app was copied from an expansion card.
Switch5 only works for PalmOS 5.
What's New in This Release:
· Changed from an application to a preference panel. Switch5 will not be visible in the launcher. Use the preferences app to set any options.
· Added "ignore" option to permanently remove apps (up to 8) from the recent app list.
· Added custom command toolbar buttons. Previously was using the system info buttons.
