Launchy: Simple Program Launcher


This is a simple program launcher that displays a list of buttons each of which performs some command (or a small handful of actions for the program itself: quit the program, re-load the configuration file, etc.). The button definitions are stored in a simple configuration file, .launchyrc.

Launchy is also a demonstration program for my GUI framework StdGUI. While Launchy doesn't use the full capabilities of StdGUI, it is a useful tool and includes several features common to real-world applications: reading and parsing a structured file and forking and lanuching sub-processes.

You can download Launchy here.
