We are proud to announce a new 3.7.2 update of " Alloy - Launcher and Automator 3".      


This update includes:


Action Shortcuts

Now it is possible to have Action Shortcuts that allow to launch other actions inside the app. This functionality is similar to Shortcuts on Windows or Aliases in Unix/Linux/Mac OS. To add a shortcut choose the "Add > Add Shortcut" for the Action's context menu. An added shortcut will have the same icon as the Action itself together with a small shortcut decoration at the top-right corner. Any Shortcut is an Action itself so it is possible to edit and tweak it if needed. It is possible to specify multiple Shortcut configurations by edit an Action and choosing the "Options > Arguments and Shortcuts > Shortcuts".


The following video demonstrates how to add and use a shortcut to a ChatGPT action.




Action Decoration

Now it is possible to specify an Action decoration - a small icon shown at the bottom-right corner, that highlights the Action's state. For example, the ChatGPT Action shows a decoration that correspond to its startup command e.g. the microphone icon for the Voice Input. To add a decoration - use new "Set action Decoration Icon" task.


Added Compliance to Chinese Laws

Chinese laws prohibit distribution of any apps having any functionality related to AI/LLM's (e.g. OpenAI). So to be compliant, we've forced to remove all the OpenAI actions for China region.
