Synapse App Launcher - App Reviews

Just a quick review of one of my favorite pieces of software on the Ubuntu side of things. A simple keystroke away from launching practically anything, tied into Zeitgeist for recent apps and files, and uses minimal resources.

Perfect for the lighter distros like Xubuntu, and Lubuntu.

[TheHackerCrab]

what distro is that?

[InfinitelyGalactic]

@TheHackerCrab Luninux OS based on Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome-Shell.

@sammaritan12 Hey there. I'm usuing LuninuX OS which is based off Ocelot. I'm using ffmpeg on the command line to record, although I've heard about screencap software built into gnome 3. Haven't tried it yet but maybe if you try ctrl+although+shift+r from the desktop and the same to stop. That's what I've heard anyway.

How do you record this?

What program do you use?

[sammaritan12]

Hey the desktop config you have there it looks like the latest linux mint and and a dock, but I need to know what recording software you use as when I tried RecordMyDesktop in Fedora 15 it doesn't show so I can't see it, is this the same problem with linux mint?

Great video review BTW

Once again great job on the vid. I was looking for an app that did what Gnome Do did with less dependencies for higher mobility across DEs. I'm giving this a go, I'm liking it more than Gnome Do atm and will probably stick with it for its mobility and intuitiveness.

To be honest, I preferred the MintMenu for searching, but it's now gone. I refuse to use GNOME Shell, it's the worst DE out... if I want a tablet interface on my desktop, I'll plead google to give me fucking Android, thanks GNOME.

System key in Gnome 3 does the trick for me :)

So its like "Launchy" for Windows? Cool story, bro.

KUPFER! It's my first install on a new distro. You have the best review videos, by the way.
