    SlimLAUNCH should retain ALT+ENTER command, not relearn it

    I'm fighting with SlimLAUNCH's current behavior of remembering the last command used to launch an app. I make heavy use of ALT+ENTER, but I keep tripping up on the fact that a subsequent, partial entering of the shortcut command changes the command remembered by the source. When I create a shortcut, I want to keep that shortcut even if I only type part of it next time.

    For example, I might have a "sql2000" shortcut to launch Enterprise Manager for SQL Server 2000 and a "sql2005" shortcut to launch Enterprise Manager for SQL Server 2005. I still need to distinguish between these two apps, even if I only typed "sql" last time.

    Noted! I did trip on this myself a few times, but it was always my conclusion that the shorter second command was an indication the initial one was too long for nothing. Your example is clear, though. The upcoming version will support adding explicit files one by one, and forcing them a specific command. But for matched files from a monitored path, the last command used always overwrites the previous one.

    Since I still believe the current behavior is valid, I'll target adding a "Keep initial command" option somewhere. You'll have to turn it on, it will be off by default.
