closing applications?

[Guest rav1patel]

is there not an easier way to close applicatoins then going to accessories and then to the task manager.

although my c500 blitzes my old 6600, at least that had a nice shortcut for this where you just hold down the menu key for the task manager.

theres an app called xbar, its kinda like ALT+TAB on a pc, so you can switch between apps, and you can also close all current apps. Xbar1 is free but you ahve to pay for xbar2 which is a major upgrade of xbar1.

with xbar2 you just hold in the action button on the scroller for about 1 second and it pops up.

however there is currently a bug with xbar2 and the c500 (which is to be expected)...normally i used to load up xbar and press the number 2 and it closes all apps, but that doesnt wor anymore...a work around is to press 1 instead, this closes all apps except the one you current have in focus.

anyway, have a look:

I just set up a Speed Dial for the Task Manager

That's not a bug at all - RTFM! Key presses are different for Xbar2. A short press of '1' closes all apps, less selected. A long press of '1' closes all apps. It's working perfectly on my C500 (less the temperature reading).

what version are you using fozzie? i couldnt get the latest (2.3) to work, it would give error messages when i pressed 1, so i had to revert to a previous version that still used the 2 key (v2.1 i believe). Ill have to try again if it works for u as it might have just been a glitch in the install.

ravi, xbar1 is the only free version, there isnt a free trial of xbar2, here is xbar1:
