Want to launch Pulsar by double-clicking .PRO?

[doodyrh]

First off, this is a half-cocked imperfect bodge solution to a daft omission in SFP so please read the caveats at the end. It requires that you dispense with the concept of NewProject.pro after first renaming it.
Secondly it's Windows only although I daresay it can be done ten times easier on a Mac.

That said, depending on your way of working it might be useful. I did it cos I get irritated at waiting for NewProject to load before I can open another project (I'm not a patient chap). So here goes:

Rename or copy NewProject.pro to something_different.pro.
Paste the following commands into Notepad and save as a batch file, say pulsar.bat

@echo off
copy %1 C:SFPAppSFPAppNewProject.pro
c:
cd SFPAppBin
start /belownormal sfp.exe

Then from Windows Explorer
Tools menu,
'Folder Options...',
'File Types' tab
Click New
associate .pro with pulsar.bat

CAVEATS - PLEASE READ

1. In case you didn't figure it out, this simply overwrites NewProject.pro with the selected project name and then launches SFP at 'belownormal' priority (change to low if prefered). Therefore PLEASE save your NewProject under a different name first.

2. If you make any changes remember to use 'Save as...' the selected project before closing the project. If not it'll save as NewProject which will get overwritten next time. It helps to fill in the project name in the LiveBar so you remember the name (another daft SFP shortcoming).

3. If you double-click a .pro file when a project is already open nothing seems to happen. Thankfully.

Nice one, doodyhr

(cos what's written on top of the LiveBar ain't necessarily so)"
Ready?

Click the x on top right of LiveBar.
Project name is the bit after "Save changes to ".
Click cancel.
