. What's new ?

April 25th, 2002 : Wapp pro 3.6.2 released with several fixes :
  • Now Wapp pro only keeps track of applications' visibility on Mac OS 9.1 or newer due to a big incompatibility with 9.0.x
  • Corrected a problem when dragging an alias onto an application's icon in the menubar.
  • Some computers didn't properly go into automatic sleep-mode since version 3.5. Fixed.
  • Packaged applications (Illustrator 10, Photoshop 7, AppleWorks 6.2......) can be chosen in the exclusion lists.
April 7th, 2002 : Wapp pro 3.6.1 released to fix a crash when auto-hide was enabled along with the menubar-application-switcher.

 

March 29th, 2002 : Wapp pro 3.6 it out.

Now hidden applications have their icons grayed-out in the menubar-application-switcher.

And say hello to Wapp pro german. Thanks to Maxwell Fuller, Wapp pro spricht den Deutsch.

. What is Wapp pro ?

Wapp pro is the ultimate windows/applications switcher.

It displays a menu that lists the windows of the frontmost applications, the background applications and their respective windows in submenus. You can activate any window, even it's hidden by several other windows, or if the process is hidden. The Finder windows also display their content in submenus up to 5 levels.

But that's not all : Wapp pro is more than a simple windows switcher. It lets you quit, or hide any application, quit all the applications, or hide them all. You can also exclude some applications from being quitted or hidden by these commands, like for example SpeedDoubler that you don't want to quit, or QuickTime player that you don't want to hide...

Wapp pro lets you also navigate through the windows of the front process with keyboard shortcuts. You can exchange the 2 frontmost windows, send the frontmost window to the back, or bring the last window to the front. It also lets you cycle through the applications list.

It can also display an application switcher directly inside the menu bar (one click to switch to the app, click&hold to access the application's windows) :

Wapp pro's menu can be activated by several ways :

Wapp pro also enhances the Navigation Services dialogs. It brings the Click There It Is® concept to the Navigation Services open/save dialogs. Clicking with some modifier keys in a Finder window will display its content in the open/save dialog. If a Finder window is hidden you can also use the menu Wapp pro adds when a Navigation Services open/save dialog is front.

For the best compatibility with other third-parties utilities, almost every feature of Wapp pro can be disabled.
