case study

problem

A development session can mean opening the same mix of applications, workspaces, folders, URLs and terminal commands, then finding and closing them all again in the right order.

approach

StackSwitch adds a native taskbar panel with persistent selections, named profiles, grouped items, launch delays and wait-for-exit behavior. It closes the same selection in reverse order and avoids fragile Windows symbol resolution by using a layered child window.

outcome

One taskbar action can start or stop a repeatable working environment while optional tools stay disabled until needed.
