- 1. Overview
- -----------
- PopUp Favorites is a HackMaster extension for easily starting your frequently
- used applications. There is a setup where you can choose activating pen stroke
- (it can also be activated with PopUp Suite) and where you define applications
- which will be displayed when you activate PopUp Favorites.
- If you add "Prefs" application to your favorites, then after choosing it
- from the PopUp Favorites, you'll get a list with all available "Prefs" panels.
-
- PopUp Favorites can also display a list of last used applications.
-
- PopUp Favorites is not a replacement for your application launcher. It is its
- best companion.

- Activating PopUp Favorites:
- - "Pen stroke" - the pen stroke which must be used to start PopUp
- Favorites. For example, if you choose from "Calc" to "Find", then you must put
- the pen on the "Calculator" button, drag it to the "Find" button, and then
- lift it.
- - "Single tap" and "Double tap" - PopUp Favorites can also be started with
- the single or double tap on the silk screen button.
- - "From" and "to" popup triggers - choose starting and ending buttons for
- the activating pen stroke, or choose "From" button for a single or double
- tap activation.
-
- - There is a list of all applications installed on your Palm device. Tap on
- the application's name if you want to include it in your favorites. A checkmark
- will appear on the left side of the application's name. If you want to remove
- the application from your favorites, tap on its name again - the checkmark
- will disappear.
- To browse through the list, hardware page-up and page-down buttons can be
- used.
-
- - "Right" checkbox - check it if you want PopUp Favorites list to appear on
- the right side of the screen.
-
- - "Small icons" checkbox - uncheck it if you don't want small icons to
- be displayed.

- Usage
- -----
- You can activate PopUp Favorites either with the defined pen stroke or with
- the PopUp Suite. A list with your favorite applications will be displayed
- (those you checked in the setup). Tap on one you want to start. If you tap
- outside the list, it will vanish, and no application will be started.
-
- If you start "Prefs" application with PopUp Favorites, then you'll get a
- list of all available "Prefs" panels. After exiting the panel, the underlying
- application will be restarted.
-
- Application can also be started by writing the first character of its name
- (with graffiti). If there are more than one application names beginning with
- that character, the first matching application will be highlighted. Continue
- to write application name until you find the right one. To start selected
- application enter the "new line" stroke. To delete last entered character,
- use the "backspace" stroke.
-
- If you have more favorite applications than can fit on the screen, use
- hardware page-up/page-down buttons to scroll through the list.
-
- Active application can be added to the PopUp Favorites list by simply dragging
- the pen from the screen to the PopUp Favorites list.
-
- Application previously started with PopUp Favorites is already selected when
- you activate PopUp Favorites.
-
- PopUp Favorites display small icons for applications which have them (this
- option can be turned off in the setup). Additional small icons library
- ("iconice.pdb" - the same is included with Launcher III) is supplied.
-
- To get the list of recently used applications, tap on the "Recent Apps"
- located at the top of the PopUp Favorites list.
-
- To switch to the previous application use "menu command" graffiti pen
- stroke (something like "./" where "." is the beginning of the stroke).
