But it would be really nice if Launchpad's author would fix that bug that prevents it launching basic programs And maybe add the posibility of having more tabs than 4 and of having more icons in a tab, in higher resolutions
Can you no execute the SBASIC program.
When starting Basic programs, there are usually 3 options.
1. execute as sbasic. This works on sbasic systems.
2. Execute via Filinfo II. This works on systems with FI2.
3. LRUN as basic program. This fails due to an issue with the PTOP in Easyptr extensions. First, it tries to pick basic (which works) but then fails to insert the LRUN command. Marcel did explain the reason to me some years ago (something to do with timing on modern fast systems, though i forget the details).
When I get time, I'll try other versions of the toolkit to see if there is a more recent version which fixes the problem.
The icon sizes and numbers are hard coded in Launchpad - it's an Easymenu menu. It'll need a complete rewrite to allow changes, sadly.
