Theres a weird bug in 3.1. I installed it and launched XBMC and all of these shows I had deleted months or even years ago came back. It seems like it reverted to an old database or something. I uninstalled Launcher and it was back to normal.

That infact is weird, because xbmclauncher won't change your database. Are you using xbmc in portable mode?

Those threads seem to be about how to send a WOL magic packet...I was wondering if your launcher could start xbmc when it receives a magic packet

^^ I am not sure. I don't have much idea about WOL. Isn't it possible from bios option?

The android xbmc remote app has the ability to send a WOL to start a xbmc device ...I currently use another program that's only task it to wait for a WOL and then start xbmc if it is not currently running.
I figured it would be a great feature to add to your launcher...if possible
This is the program http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-wol-launcher-for-windows/
Found in this thread that is quite a good read on WOL http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=78167

This is an unfamiliar area to me and there is not much information in autohotkey forums either.
LOL, there already was another program named xbmclauncher?

Yes even the tray icon looks VERY similar:-)

A lot of times when i wake my HTPC from S3, the screen is all black and XBMC seems to be frozen. I have to close it and re-open it to get it working, or reboot my HTPC.
I also remember having this problem even without XBMC Launcher
Anyone know how to fix it ?

Many users have this particular problem. As a temporary solution enable the options 'Force close xbmc on suspend' and 'Start xbmc when windows resumes from sleep' in xbmclauncher.
RE: XBMC Launcher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Autostart XBMC, Set Focus and more - Govnah - 2013-01-20
Currently I have a PC that serves both as a workstation and HTPC and my primary display is attached to my PC monitor and my secondary to my TV in another room. I have a batch file that copies the …gui.xml for my TV and launches XBMC just fine on my secondary display (TV). However, if I want to use the PC on the primary display, surfing the web, email, etc….I will lose focus of XBMC on the secondary display that XBMC is running on, actually XBMC is minimized to the task bar and I have to click it to regain focus of XBMC on the secondary display.
So my question, will this application address this issue so that I can work on my primary display while XBMC is maximized/visible on the secondary display?
Thanks

I don't have a dual display setup. Please try the application and post if it works.
