![]() ![]() I have deleted the delay app and removed it from the login items in account preferences as indicated above. I cant seem to remove the original app from your delay list. ![]() It works great! Now, I want to delete the app from the delay start-up list and place a different app in its place. I placed an app in the list and set for 30 seconds and placed the delay app in the log in items list. Reply Greg Slepak Post author Octoat 1:35 delete the app and remove it from your login items in the Accounts system preferences. I found and removed some preference files in the library, removed the app but the previously configured apps are still loading with a delay… *help* How do I uninstall delayed launcher or remove the delay of the startup items? Reply Greg Slepak Post author Jat 1:56 □ relative to launch of DelayedLauncher), but is actually relative to the launch of the previous item on the list: even more brilliant! Forget my previous suggestion - 5 minutes is plenty for the slider. Whoops, Greg, I just realized that in the new interface the delay for each item is not absolute (i.e. I have one minor request: could you increase the maximum delay time on the slider to, say, 15 minutes? Thank you Greg! Greg, I love this little utility, and the ability to specify delay times individually in 2.0 is brilliant.

Reply Greg Slepak Post author Apat 3:14 right now I’m traveling and unfortunately I do not have access to a computer with 10.4 on it, however feel free to send me an email (it’s on the About page) about this to remind me to look into it, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m back home. The only possibility is to remove the app from my Mini and reinstall it. If then I close and reopen the app, it will crash at once and I am not able to re-open it afterwards. But the list is not redrawn properly and the items most often seem to be invisible in the list (list seems empty – only the hide-checkbutton is there). I have to do this several times and then it will recognized eventually. If I open the program, I nearly cannot add applications via drag and drop. Unfortunately I cannot get the application to work properly under 10.4.11 MacMini (Intel). Reply Clemens Hintze Apat 4:07 I was really glad to find your program as I would like to delay the startup of some of my items to get a certain order and a faster login. Don’t worry, if/when a new version is released it should function properly. Reply Greg Slepak Post author Apat 2:25 No, it’s just that I was a bit lazy and did not setup the Sparkle feed on the server. The checking for updates doesn’t seem to function properly and instead results in an error. I guess I’d add the comment that “my way” might be more intuitive (but then I would think that, wouldn’t I … ) Now I understand, and will change my settings accordingly. The delays are all relative to the item before it, the launch animation is designed to highlight this. You can move the items by dragging them to whatever position you want, and using this you can guarantee that certain items launch before others. ![]() The sorting order is not random, but up to you. Hi Lance, the behavior you’re describing is intended. Reply Greg Slepak Post author Maat 5:32 pm The overall effect is probably the same, but it’s not as I imagined – and it might matter for some folks who need a certain item to launch before some other certain item. (If you e-mail me back, I’ll send you a screenshot.) then counts down the set time for the second item. then counts down the set delay timeframe for the first item on the list. Well anyway, what’s happening is that the app sorts the items into some seemingly random order. 30 sec delay first, then those marked for 1 minute delay 30 secs after that, then the 2 minute ones a minute later, … etc. I expected it would launch the items marked for e.g. it’s not functioning as (I presume?) you intended.
