AutoPilot Documentation

Recent Applications Tab

The Recent Applications Tab is NOT created by default.  Follow the Tab Creation Instructions below to create the tab.

This tab provides quick access to the applications which have been started most recently.  When you start an application, AutoPilot will automatically add the application to this tab if: it does not already exist, and the application name is not in the deny list.  A default deny list is provided and contains such applications as the Tracker, Deskbar, zip, unzip and others.  See the MB_Settings folder under the default settings folder for the deny list file.  Be very careful if you add items to this list (no spaces at the beginning or end of a line, no blank lines, and there must be a newline at the end of the file).

NOTE: additional preferences will be available in a future version (ie. max # of items, remove by date or usage etc.)


How To

How do I add an application to the tab ?
Simply by starting the application from Tracker or other means.  The tab will not accept drag and drop applications.
How do I remove an application from the tab ?
Click and hold the secondary mouse button directly on the application tab item.  From the popup menu, highlight the Remove menu option and release the mouse.  The application will be added to the deny list, which means it will not be added again.
