Short Description
Opens URL- and program-groups in one process.

Reason for the Development
Each day I open the same URLīs to check web-counter
and promotion incomings.
This tool can open all these URLīs in one process and
additional it can start program groups (& mixed groups).

Note
You should go online before opening an URL group.

Instructions

The groups are organized as text files in the groups folder.
Unlimited quantity of text files can be added to this folder.
With an editor the text files can be opened (or generated)
to add and remove items to/from the lists.

If an item has a backslash OpenGRP will handle this item as a
path to a program (or file) to open.
See example how to open a file with a pre-defined application.

If not then OpenGRP will handle this item as an URL to open.
If this item has no double-point OpenGRP will add "http://"
to the beginning.

With a click on a text file in the left list, OpenGRP showes
the content of the selected file in the right list.
All the checked items (!) in the right list will be opened by
a click onto the Open button.

pref.dat:
To prevent that OpenGRP is faster than the system can open an URL
it is possible to set a delay before the next URL will be loaded.
If the browser must be started the first call needs the longest
time.
The default values are adjusted to my (fast) system but can be
changed with an editor.
For the 1st call the default value is 3 seconds.
For the 2nd call (and greater) the default value is 0 seconds.
