QSwitch is a design study. The design goal is to locate and switch to any open window / application as fast as possible.

• Open windows are sorted alphabetically by their process names.
• On a second level, open windows are sorted alphabetically by their titles.
• On successive levels, the backslash "\" within Window titles is used to group windows hierarchically. This way, especially windows which belong to Explorer can be located very fast.

Filtering

Using a special key (which can be user-defined), only windows of the current foreground process are displayed. The filtered view is also shown, if the user-defined mouse-button is double clicked.

System Requirements

• Windows Vista or higher
• Graphics Card with OpenGL driver (i.e. any modern Graphics Card)

Thumbnail Preview

The thumbnail preview is only shown, if the Aero-style is activated. It won't work with older graphics cards.

SFML

QSwitch uses SFML, which is a very good multi-media library for C++.

Backup

If you wish to backup the configuration of QSwitch, you need to backup the folder "%appdata%\QSwitch"

Note: %appdata% usually resolves to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming, but you can also enter "%appdata%" in Explorer.
