But it seems that the main launcher waits for a Sender to send files, so youre saying
something that was listening all the time
would kill the battery but doesnt it do that all the time anyway? Is there a way to
override all the events on top of everything if
it was beaming?
Or would this obviously be something that was installed in Launcher to begin with
(which means it wont happen anytime soon)?
