Created attachment 4766 Adds the keep open after launch option. Here's a patch file against the 'master' branch to enable the user to opt to keep the app finder open after launching an application from it. The patch adds a configuration tickbox to the Preferences dialog box. The option is ignored if the box is in the collapsed 'run' mode. The default is FALSE, so it will behave as it did before closing on application launch unless the user explicitly enables it, so no-one will get confused. The first patch (0001-*) is to add the feature. The second patch (0002-*) might not be necessary, but I wrote that to fix what I thought was a bug opening the Preferences dialog on first run after resetting the xfconf channel. Uses ==== Handy if you need to open more than one application to accomplish a task, e.g. a file manager and an archiving program or CD burning app, to be able to open one window and launch both applications in quick succession would be useful. In my opinion that's more efficient than re-opening appfinder windows for each app or repeatedly navigating a cascading menu of programs to launch each application.
Created attachment 4767 Might be needed to set a default
Added an execute menu item to launch without closing. Don't like to add this permanently with an xfconf option.
I've just built master and it looks pretty good. Thanks for that.
