Hi,
I added a launchpad in winshelf with 4 items in it. Is there a way to add a delay between launching each item? After launching an item I want to add a delay before launching next item.
Thanks.

Why?

Anyway, no, there is currently no way to add a delay. The idea is to launch everything basically at the same time.

I thought simultaneous launch was the whole point of this, surely? Weird.

Equally surely, that should have been Workshelf, no? Or have we acquired a new component called Winshelf? :P

I can see the scenario where an application may have a dependency on another app / service already being present - this may be why a delay is being requested. However in this situation I would just use a script.

The applications are not really launched "all at once", they are launched one after the other. So the order of the applications in the Launch Pad matters.
