This morning I made a new release of Shuriken. This release is called Shuriken R5.

In this release, the following has been changed:

• An xml file is used to store preferences for Shuriken, with these changes the app should load and save the settings without any problems, so if you pick a new hotkey to launch Shuriken, it will use the hotkey you picked after restart.
• Shuriken now remembers and stores the search terms used for launching an item. As you are using the search term more frequently to launch an item, the search term will be promoted for that subject and the subject will be on top of the search list.
  For example, If you are using the search term Reader  to launch Google Reader, but you have Adobe Reader installed then normally Adobe  would be the first on the search list and the default. All you need to do is to  select Google Reader, so Shuriken can register the hit and the next time the default will be Google Reader.
  

  

If you are interested only using this release, just go to the Shuriken R5 release and download Shuriken.zip, extract it and click on Shuriken.exe to start using it. If you are interested in looking into the code then download Shuriken Sources.zip. To compile you will need Visual Studio.NET 2008 or Visual C# 2008 Express.

All comments and feedback are welcome. Enjoy!
