Short: Configurable button-based program launcher Author: Joe Howard Uploader: jhoward icdc com (Joe Howard) Type: util/wb Version: 1.1 Requires: Amiga OS4 + update 1 or higher Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.1 ScriptLauncher is a very configurable program launcher which allows you to create one or more windows of buttons which can run AmigaDOS scripts. Each button in each window is associated with a script that can do anything AmigaDOS commands allow. See below for what's new in version 1.1 of ScriptLauncher. You can change just about every aspect of each window and its buttons, including: - The number of rows, columns, & orientation of buttons - The sizes of the buttons (all buttons of a window are the same size) - Each button's colors - Each button's label - The fonts used for button labels - The AmigaDOS script that the button runs - The public screen the windows appear on - Each window's position on the screen - Margins between and around the buttons - The window's background color ScriptLauncher uses a text configuration file to specify these parameters. You can also set up multiple pages of buttons. ScriptLauncher allows you to define up to 20 pages of buttons. You can move from one page to another, and you can set up a button to jump to a specific page. ScriptLauncher requires at least update #1 of OS4.0 and is a native PPC program. It has no requirements beyond what is included in the basic OS. Before running ScriptLauncher, you must construct a configuration file for it, which describes the layout and contents of the buttons it will create in its window. ScriptLauncher installation is as simple as copying the executable to whatever drawer you want it in, such as C: or WBStartup. ScriptLauncher comes with a small sample configuration file that you can use as a base for creating your own file from. I also (hopefully) have set it up so that it will run "out of the box" on OS4 systems if you just want try it out first. The sample file has comments in it so you can follow what the various commands are for. ScriptLauncher is freely distributable, and is (c) Joe Howard. It must be distributed unchanged and complete with its documentation file. ScriptLauncher is distributed as-is, without warranty of any kind. You are not allowed to make any profit if you redistribute ScriptLauncher. NEW IN VERSION 1.1 OF SCRIPTLAUNCHER - ScriptLauncher can now have multiple windows of buttons open at once. The windows can either open when ScriptLauncher starts or be opened later via the =OPENWIN script command. Each window can have its own attributes such as position, button size, and layout. Scripts can also close windows via the =CLOSEWIN script command. - ScriptLauncher allows you to use multiple fonts for button labels. The font is normally associated with the button type, but can be overridden for each individual button. - The button's label color can also be overridden for each individual button. - You can now insert lines in a script when shift-clicking the script's button. Examples of how to insert lines at various points are in the ScriptLauncher.guide file. - You can use the special keywords LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER (or CENTRE), TOP, and BOTTOM to specify a window's position.
