Jumplist Extender adds Windows 7 jumplists to programs which don't have 'em
Windows 7's Superbar (what used to be the taskbar) is packed with useful features -- like Jump Lists, for example. Unfortunately, there are plenty of programs out there which I really wish made use of Jump Lists but don't. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to bolt on that functionality?
As it turns out, there is! Over on the NeoWin forums, they've posted Jumplist Extender. It's a free, open-source application that allows you to add your own customized Jump Lists to any program.
The first step is to browse for and select the program you want to enhance. Then it's on to the Jump List creation screen, where you can add tasks, file or folder locations, category headings, and separators. All you need to do now is to add some commands to your tasks -- which is where Extender turns up the awesome.
It's built with AutoHotKey, so the sky's pretty well the limit when it comes to commands. Simple things like opening the file menu and creating a new file are dead simple -- just click in the box and slowly key them in as you would in the actual program you're enhancing. Want to do something a bit more complex? Any syntax you can use in AutoHotKey you can use in Jumplist Extender -- just switch to text mode and code away!
You can also import and export your Jump List settings, making it easy to share your wicked creations with your less-technical friends.
Though it's still a very early release, Extender works very well and has been stable on my Windows 7 x64 system. It's easily one of the best Windows 7 enhancement apps I've used so far.
