Comments on: Namely – Search And Find Applications http://www.ilovemacapps.com/utility/namely-search-and-find-applications Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:26:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Claire Rottenberg http://www.ilovemacapps.com/utility/namely-search-and-find-applications/comment-page-1#comment-94 Claire Rottenberg Sun, 16 Nov 2008 14:54:49 +0000 http://www.ilovemacapps.com/?p=268#comment-94 This program is an easy-to-use application launcher and it's easier to use than Spotlight if you use a hot key (and if it works). I set Namely to use Option-Q and then I type in one or two letters for my application and hit Return and the program launches. No more reaching up to the top of the screen for Spotlight and no waiting until Spotlight finds my application (Spotlight is slow on older PPC Macs with limited memory). The only problem I have with Namely is that it can't always find applications that aren't stored in my Applications folder or on my bootup partition. It's hit and miss if Namely finds those apps. So, I keep a folder with my favorites in the Dock in case Namely fails at its job. Nice website - I've added your feed to my Mac sites RSS folder in Safari and I'll add the website to Stumbleupon in a few minutes.
