Yet another (trivial) idea .. activate behaviour and hide menu ..

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Hi Felix, all,

Does "activate behaviour" as the first item of an inactive Behaviour make sense ? (that has just been selected from the list of Audio & Video - e.g. EyeTV)?

To my mind, if I select a Behaviour (Application) that is inactive then I want it activated.

Also, the short menu press shows/hides the RB menu very well - it seems unecessary to have "hide menu" as a menu item within each behaviour (perhaps at the bottom) .. top item is important real estate ..

Also, I like how "quit" doesn't move left afterwards in the current approach (as one might be planning on reactivating). "Activate" if kept could then be placed below "quit" and "hide menu" at the bottom. Alternatively why not have remote buddy activate a behaviuor (when inactive and it is selected), have quit perform the quit and then move left, and remove hide menu. Simple is beautiful.

I do really like the stickyness .. how RB remembers the location.

An idea .. make the order based on usage (and still sticky) ?? Not sure haven't had time to digest if this would be cool or annoying .. I guess this sort of learning/adapting to usage is pat of what made LaunchBar so innovative/great ..

cheers, 
chris
