Your Shortcuts on Your BlackBerry? New version of ShortcutMe is available.

So what happens is, users can only set their 3rd-party launcher to the main icon but not any of the additional icons of an app.
Here's an example (BestFLASH), which has 3 code modules but 6 icons:
In the BestFLASH code module, there are 4 application descriptors:
0: BestFLASH (main icon) -- runs BestFLASH with no argument
1: BestFLASH Quick Light -- runs BestFLASH with argument "quicklight"
2: BestFLASH Quick Blue -- runs BestFLASH with argument "quickblue"
3: BestFLASH Quick Red -- runs BestFLASH with argument "quickred"
Then, there are two additional code modules, VideoFlashlight and bStrobe, each with just 1 application descriptor.
In the convenience key setter in Options/Screen, all 6 of those are listed. But in your competitor's launcher for example, only 3 are listed, the "Quick" icons being omitted.
See what the problem is? From the CodeModule you get the ApplicationDescriptors[] array, and there can be more than 1 app in there. But it seems that 3rd-party launchers forget about that and just add the 1st app in the module to their app list, ignoring the rest.04-22-10 10:23 PMLike 0 - Installed update....rebooted...set permissions..launched shortcut me, selected my reboot shortcut.....clicked yes...

Okay. That is maybe why some other apps also doesn't reboot on newer BB OS.
I will ask others to test it with earlier versions of OS so that I know on what OS it can reboot, so that it could be announced only for those OSs.
BTW, I added "Power_Off" to the apps in ShortcutMe and ShortcutMe_Touch 3.10.4.4 which are now on the OTA link.
If you have a Power_Off shortcut without any parameter, it will just turn off the device.
If you want you can specify when it should turn on again, here is an example:
AppName: Power_Off
Parameter: 60
It will turn off the BB and then turn it on 60 minutes later.04-24-10 10:17 AMLike 0 - (Mini marathon is good. I should do that too when I get some time)

Mini was fun today! that was my 5th mini...its still tough but fun04-24-10 10:30 AMLike 0 - 3.10.4.5 (for all BlackBerry models) is now on the OTA link.
Please upgrade and let me know about the new screen when you want to create a new shortcut (SCM>MenuKey>"Add Shortcut").
The new screen is meant to help new users to find the most used shortcuts instead of searching in the drop down app list.
I also tried to remove new features that did not work on some BB OS versions, so that I can release 3.10.5.004-25-10 10:49 AMLike 0 - I installed it. Here is my suggestion. Personally I don't like it but I have been using scm since day one. It is easier but for me it would be an extra step. Maybe add an expert mode in the preferences that goes right to the old way. It does work and work well though.

That extra step was needed for new users.05-16-10 09:40 AMLike 0
