Hiding LaunchBar 4 in your Dock

Sun, 19 November 2006

I just helped a friend to install LaunchBar 4 on his Mac and he wanted to run it invisible, but for some reason it just kept coming back.

I searched the internet forums and the way to do this is to add a few lines to a plist.info

Close LaunchBar and then locate it in your Finder. Right-click and select ‘Show package contents’, open the Contents folder, select info.plist and open it with TextEdit.

Add this to the file:

<key>NSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>

Save the file, log out and then log in again. Even though this should work now, for some reason it doesn’t work on Tiger.

What you need to do is this: Close LaunchPad if stil running, go to Applications folder, move the LaunchPad somewhere else (e.g. Desktop) and then move it back again to the Applications folder. Log out and log in again. Enjoy.

    For those who hadn’t figured out. This doesn’t just work with LaunchPad. I’ve done the same with Adium, Countdown, AntiRSI and a bunch of other apps.
