Eliminate programs from Alt-Q list

[TomTheToolman]

I use Winamp. When using Dexpot, one to four Winamp-related entries appear in every desktop in the Alt-Q task list, thereby obscuring the entries I'm really interested in.

Is there a way to prevent programs that are assigned to all desktops from appearing in this list?

Thanks for a great utility!

Sorry, I meant the Windows-Q list.

Don't know if this is exactly what you are after but check out this post http://dexpot.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1915.

If you use the ignore parameter it will do as you request but it will also remove the window entry from other things - course if it's on all desktops anyway it probably doesn't matter.

Thanks so much for the quick response. Unfortunately, I must be missing something, as it's not working for me (I am on Windows 7). I created this mywechsel.ini:

Code: Select all

[Exe]
winamp.exe=ignore
TurboLaunch.exe=ignore


I placed it in:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dexpot
C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Dexpot
C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Dexpot\profile


Since I had created it with Notepad, I also tried changing the line terminators with Notepad++ to Unix style, and saved to all three locations. Still no luck; both TurboLaunch and Winamp show up on any desktop that I've switched to and done Windows-Q.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Remove them from "Assign applications" and restart Dexpot.

That did the trick! With programs marked as ignored, they automatically appear on all desktops and are not included in the task list - perfect!

BTW, with Windows 7, I found that having mywechsel.ini in C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Dexpot\profile didn't work; it needs to be in C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\Dexpot.

Thanks for all the help!
