Hi All,
I was a bit tired when I made my last post, and just realized I worded it rather poorly.  :Smiley  What I meant to say was to delete the Launchpad entry currently in Start Menu, then create a Start Menu entry for Comodo Firewall, and add Launchpad to that entry. Then a dedicated firewall icon could be added to the System Tray, preferably showing activity. Launchpad would still be accessible, but be less obtrusive.  Wink

Kill it, and give people the option of displaying seperate tray icons for all apps, or only some, or none at all.

I'd say keep the launch pad but make its install optional.

Make every single application have its tray icon, but make the (optional) launch pad hide those icons (maybe for each application separately).

That keeps each application lean and small and makes the launch pad powerful und flexible for those who like it.

Hmm, I say...

Make a optional install. Like with each installation (CAV, CPF, CAS), you can tik the [do you want to install Comodo Launch Pad?] box. Then you should also make a Comodo Launch Pad installer download, for ppl who already have 2-3 products and then only realise that they actually want the Launch Pad. Then you should have a box to tik saying: Do you want to run (example) Comodo Anti Virus as a tray icon.

So, there you have my opinion.

This is pretty much what I was going to say, but not for every single application... the security related ones though I'd agree with.

I meant: "for every application of the Comodo security family" Wink

I somehow like the idea of leaving the updating of all apps to the launch pad as well. So you get very small and dedicated applications and enhanced features  (which others would consider bloat) for those who need/want them (icon grouping for all Comodo apps, Auto updates for all Comodo apps. News aupdates for all Comodo apps).

Just make it optional.

I really like the idea of optional components. Just have a look at Winamp.

On the Comodo Start Menu, just provide a link to the products.  If you keep the Launch Pad, Please make it optional.

So where are we now with this?  Are there at least any plans to opt out of the Launch Pad in the system tray? I currently use other products while the firewall is continuing to develop. I want to solely use the antivirus but don't necessarily want the Launch Pad in the system tray, just a one for the antivirus.

I think the consensus is that make CLP an optional feature which user can switch off.

I agree, but if you choose to not install LaunchPad, you should get a tray icon for CPF that shows network activity like the Jetico firewall has.  Grin

Yes. A lot are complaing about the 5mb of the memory  that consumes.

Melih why not make a different approach for CLP? Make it an integrator of Comodo apps. Like the one Norton use.
