Requirements

Requirements represent the minimum quality of a package that is acceptable. When a package version has failed requirements, the package version requires fixing and/or response by the maintainer. Provided a Requirement has flagged correctly, it must be fixed before the package version can be approved. The exact same version should be uploaded during moderation review.

  • The package id includes a prerelease version name which should be included only in the version of the package. More...
Guidelines

Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

  • The iconUrl should be added if there is one. Please correct this in the nuspec, if applicable. More...
Suggestions

Suggestions are either newly introduced items that will later become Guidelines or items that are don't carry enough weight to become a Guideline. Either way they should be considered. A package version can be approved without addressing Suggestion comments.

  • The nuspec has been enhanced to allow more information related to the software. More... Please consider adding one or more of the following to the nuspec, if available:
    • docsUrl - points to the location of the wiki or docs of the software
    • mailingListUrl - points to the forum or email list group for the software
    • bugTrackerUrl - points to the location where issues and tickets can be accessed
    • projectSourceUrl - points to the location of the underlying software source

Launchy hasn't had any kind of new version in more than 10 years. When I added this choco package in 2013, there was already a package for the 2.5 version, but not for the 2.6beta2 version -- which is perfectly stable and works better for some users. (I've been using the beta on multiple computers for years.) I submitted a new version of launchy-beta today to update some links, but since the main launchy package now includes a version for the beta (and choco no longer allows -beta in the package name), I've delisted my package and would like to reject the current version.
Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

Description

Launchy is a free cross-platform utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.
Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!

Launchy hasn't been updated in a while; for some people the 2.6 beta works better than the 2.5 release (which is available in its own Chocolatey package).
