  "DOES NOT WORK!"

  September 11, 2010  |   By theBigK

  Version: Relaunch 1.3.9

  Pros

  The theory is great, and I'd pay dearly for an app that works.

  Cons

  It doesn't do automatic saves and doesn't work on relaunch. A complete failure.

  Summary

  This application (Relauncher 1.3.9) does NOT WORK. It does not do automatic saves as promised (and specified in Preferences), and when I tried it, it only restored Safari documents.
  
  It did NOT save any open Pages documents, the primary reason I installed it.
  
  Irritatingly, it stuck all at the Safari windows at the top of the screen, not with some of them minimized, as would have properly happened had I simply used ?reopen all windows from last session? in Safari?s own menu after a restart.
  
  
  This application should be REMOVED from all sites unless or until the developer can make it work properly. (I should add that the developer?s website is embarrassingly amateurish, with its wiki FAQ link a 404 not found.)

  Oops..I referred to it as Relauncher, not Relaunch.
  
  As an addendum, I should note that an app that merely relaunches apps is hardly worthwhile IMHO.
  
  What is needed is being able to reopen all the documents for a given app. (I typically have 6 or 8 Pages docs open all the time.) Apple mail does this automatically. Why can't Pages? And why can't Safari, when Firefox has this ability?
