Port of "Killy"-Plugin to choose and terminate running tasks #49

Open axbmcuser opened 3 years ago

Hi,

just found your awesome project. I'm looking forward to fully switch from old Launchy to LaunchyQt. For the moment i'm just missing the "Killy"-plugin functionality. Do you have any plans to port it to your updated version of Launchy? And: Is this project still active?

Thanks again for your great work. :-)

I think Killy is a very useful feature, but I could not find the source code of old Killy plugin, so I have to start from scratch. This project is still active, but my spare time is very limited, so the development progress is slow.

For what it's worth here are some details the author of the plugin posted back then:

I got around to learning the Launchy plugin API and wrote something simple for fun. It will index one's processes and utilize taskkill.exe to terminate any of them by process name. This is equivalent of:

taskkill.exe /F /IM

Example Use:

killy [tab] notepad.exe

All instances of notepad will be terminated (most likely...taskkill can be a finicky beast)

It basically is like a taskkill action made in Runner, but it has the advantage of the list of processes.
