Colibri – Quicksilver for Windows
I was looking for a quicksilver replacement for windows ... I'm a commandline person for launching applications, what can I say. So I installed colibri. It works great but for a few oddities with windows 7 64 bit: when I want to launch a 64 bit application (like photoshop) via a shortcut to the "C:\Program Files" directory (it works well with 32-bit application launch via shortcuts to the "C:\Program Files (x86)" directory) I get the following error message:
"Path to Shortcut"
The specified path does not exist.Check the path, and then try again.
after come looking arround I found a workaround (link):
1. create a folder somewhere on your disk.
2. hold down shift on that folder, right-click and select open command window here.
3. type: mklink /D foldernameyoucreate "full path to original folder in quotes"
example: i created a folder called x64Fix on my disk to hold all my symbolic links for the apps that aren't working. i created my symbolic link inside of it like so (using photoshop as an example):
C:\x64Fix>mklink /D Photoshop "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)"
4. verify message that symbolic link was created (you should also see a shortcut arrow on the Photoshop folder).
5. You should then have a folder path like C:\x64Fix\Photoshop
6. Create your shortcut for the jumplist from C:\x64Fix\Photoshop folder path to the exe rather than the real path.
so, instead of your shortcut being:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe"
it will be
"C:\x64Fix\Photoshop\Photoshop.exe"
This works it seems and now I can launch a 64 bit applicaiton from colibri. Anyway, colibri is great, look here: http://colibri.leetspeak.org/ and it works on windows 7
