LP Shortcuts is a very odd addition to the launcher. It seems it would only be useful to the people who don't know how to use it (such as myself) -and I assume developers have no use for it - so it just sits there as this nebulous option of unlimited impossibilities. Or something like that.Nice compilation Ed.
Do you know where more information could be found about the "LauncherPro Shortcuts" and "Activities" options in the "Select shortcut" menu (presented when selecting "Menu" -> "Add" from LP).
The "Activities" option, on the other hand, is a great tool to help 'step inside' an app. A couple examples:
Say you have several launchers on your device (Stock, LP, GoLauncher, Zeam ...). You could grab Home Switcher from the market. Or you could use shortcuts to activities to put any of the launchers on any of your homescreens or in to a folder. Try this: Longpress Homescreen...
...your device will take a moment to get the next screen (It's a long list)...Shortcuts>Acivities>
From here you have the options to change the icon and name of the shortcut.Launcher>com.android.launcher2.Launcher
If you have Astro, you might like its "Application Manager" or "Process Manager" tools. Or you may never use them (or even know they existed!) because it takes five steps from Home to get there. Just longpress Homescreen
Here's a link with a more graphical "how-to" for adding activities shortcuts.Shortcuts>Activities>Astro>App Mgr
