Ok, so I was wondering if having a cod4 server launcher would be useful for anyone. It's an easy way to keep servers/player names bound and faster than going in-game to join a server. Mods can keep UC profiles, too. Yes, you can just make a shortcut to the server with command line arguments, but not everybody knows that and shortcuts take up more space 
I put this together in a couple days. It comes with all of the cod4 servers and their respective ip's. All you'd have to do is tell it where cod4 is installed, if it doesn't find it already, and change your name from a generic one.
So, would anyone think it would be useful so I would know whether or not to develop it further, or should I just keep it in the practice projects bin?

Thanks to @stevo with some Mac native code!
Shortcuts:
Alt + A - add new server
Alt + S - save changes
Alt + D - delete
Alt + C - launch Cod4
Alt + R - refresh selected server
Alt + F, Alt + O - Directories
Alt + F, Alt + T - refresh timer
Alt + F, Alt + M - Monitor mode
Double click to join a server.
File menu:
Set Directory - you only need to use this if it doesn't find the game automatically
Refresh Timer - set an automated refresh interval
Monitor Mode - compacts the window, shows just server information and timer controls
Exit
The Help menu has a link to the krew site.
update:
I finally got around to adding player and server information! The only bug I know of so far is that refresh doesn't work the very first time you open the program, so just restart it and it should fix itself.
o won't launch the game if the server is full.
update 2:
Added compact mode for monitoring individual servers and auto refresh.
update 3:
Added support for WaW, but I need someone with WaW to confirm it joins the server properly.
Note:
This works with any server and any mod for cod4/WaW, so it's not limited to just the pre-added krew servers
Questions and/or comments are greatly appreciated

if there is code to do it for GT, I could find a way to do it, too.
