v19.10.0101 brings the ability to use ctrl + shift + {ENTER} to invoke an entry with admin permissions
(previously a mouse click was the only way to invoke this).
App launcher doesn't need an update to use this new feature...

Code: Select all
v0.8
+ Fron now on you can suppress the usage of arguments by holding the "alt"
key modifier (for items that you do not want to execute with admin
permissions) or "ctrl+shift+alt" keys (for items that need admin
permissions).
For example you have an entry in the "App launcher_CLI.txt" file like:
C:\Windows\notepad.exe="""<some file name + path with spaces in it>""",
every time you execute the "notepad" entry, it would open this file as
well. But if you just need "notepad" alone you can just use "alt" / "ctrl+
shift+alt" to get the desired behavior
+ "Included_Files=" in a section now supports the definition of a custom icon
for an entry. The separator between the file name and the icon is bound to
"<:>"! Internal XY icons are supported as well. An example:
[God_Mode]
Paths=C:\Windows
Included_Files=explorer.exe<:><xyicons>\Computer.ico
Regarding the custom icon:
For example the App launcher.ini file contains this:
Code: Select all
[God_Mode]
Paths=C:\Windows
Included_Files=explorer.exe
And the definition for the arguments from App launcher_CLI.txt:
Code: Select all
C:\Windows\explorer.exe="""D:\Users\%USERNAME%\GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"""
What you would see is this:
- no_custom_icon.png (4.77 KiB) Viewed 2720 times
But if the "Included_Files=" is changed to this:
Code: Select all
Included_Files=explorer.exe<:><xyicons>\Computer.ico
You would get this instead:
- custom_icon.png (4.89 KiB) Viewed 2720 times
Ofc this icon must exist^^

What a great script!
I would suggest a
debugging mode or a second launch mode, where you can select and copy the whole path, so it's easier to add to excluded files or paths.
and for later
A two or three column layout
An interactive mode where
- you can click
- and a pop up shows the whole path and ask if you want to exclude the path or file, or edit the exclusion

I've added an "edit mode" to v0.9...
Code: Select all
v0.9
+ Added a new option "Edit_Mode_Key_Combo=". The default is "1" = Shift key.
Possible values are: 1 = Shift, 2 = Ctrl, 3 = Ctrl + Shift, 4 = Alt,
5 = Shift + Alt, 6 = Ctrl + Alt, 7 = Ctrl + Shift + Alt
When this key / key combination is held when the script is invoked, it goes
into an "edit mode". It checks all "Paths=" values from all sections to
decide if one of them is in (or a subfolder of) the current path. In that
case it copies the current selected file or folder (for folders: the last
part with a prefixed backslash) into the clipboard opens an input window
where you can paste it into the relevant key=value part. The "OK" button
saves the new content for that section. If no value from "Paths=" matches
it will show all entries for a new section in an edit window with the
current path already inserted for "Paths="
Two screenshots, the first one for a completely new section, the second one
for an already existing one:
- new_section.png (6.06 KiB) Viewed 2661 times
- existing_section.png (5.03 KiB) Viewed 2661 times
A two or three column layout
Makes no sense, the inputselect() command doesn't support that and doing
this manually with code would lead to the leftmost column having an icon while all
other column entries would have none
An interactive mode where
Too much effort for this little tool, sorry
Last release for the next 10 days...

I am just wondering if you still maintain your great script. Because It works in a really strange way since some folders have changed on my computer. It would be good to check the existence of the Paths. In case of obsolete folders, the script does something strange, showing the sections which shouldn't be shown, filling out with some data related to the current path. Or something like that. It varies on the path I am on when I start the script.

It doesn't work correctly if the given Paths= doesn't exist. Maybe it uses the actual path instead, I am not sure. But if you also aren't, just disregard.

v1.0 is online
Code: Select all
