"Remembering" last opened session?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Launcy
2. Type "putty"
3. Press tab

What is the expected output?
Ideally, I think it would be cool if it did like Launchy itself and
remembered the last session you opened. Just like Launchy remembers which
was the last application you opened for a certain word / word-part.

What do you see instead?
See the list of sessions in the same order, always.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using 1.25 on WinXP

Please provide any additional information below.
This is not a defect, just a feature request that I think would make this
plugin a little bit better.

Soeey, I can't seem to find where to change the type to something else. :(

I'll look into this more.  It seems like Launchy prioritizes shortcuts based 
upon how
much you use them.  I could sort the results by most recently used, but I'll 
have to
see if I can serialize it to the launchy options storage.

I'm not sure how Launchy prioritizes things. The only behavior I could get was: 
If
you type the same sequence of letters (say, "fir") and the last app you 
launched with
this combination was Firefox, it will bring Firefox first. While if you just 
type
"fi" and the last app you launched with "fi" was, say, Macromedia Fireworks, it 
will
get that up first. Do you think the same thing could be done for this plugin?

Also, what do I need to set up in my computer in order to compile and run the 
code?
I'd love to help with a patch, if I do figure out how to do it.

Thanks!

I was looking at the Launchy source code, and this is actually due to Launchy
ignoring spaces when it searches for the last launched program with your search
string, but not ignoring them when an entry is added to the history.

I filed an issue on the Launchy sf site, and also added a patch which fixes this
behavior.  I'm not sure if it will actually be included, since Launchy v2 is 
close to
release, but you can compile Launchy with this patch yourself if you need this 
feature:
