EasyRunner is a user-friendly program launcher that works seamlessly on Windows, Linux and Unix systems, enabling effortless program execution.
To make the program run, you must make the easyrunner.kit file writable as it stores the configuration. If you want separate configurations, simply copy the kit with a different name. The program messages are in Portuguese, but you are welcome to translate them to English or other languages. The source code is included and can be navigated with the program itself. You can also get a tkcon (console) with the hotkey
EasyRunner was written with the support of Ricardo Dália, Sérgio Limongi, and other friends at Acesso Ltda, Recife, Brazil. Here is a quick how-to guide:
To define a new button (launcher), simply click with the left mouse button on a blank area below or to the right of existing buttons. You can edit an existing button by clicking with the right mouse button. Clicking in the header area with the left mouse button will take you to the configuration screen.
The "lock" check button should be left unchecked until all buttons are defined. To unlock, you must enter the user "admin" and password "admin," which can be changed in the configuration screen. Launcher buttons can open a new shell or run straight from their command with no terminal. For Linux commands that will finish, you can use "hold" to keep them from closing prematurely.
A button with "submenu" activated will change for a new window with other buttons that can be navigated back by pressing the upper back button. You can drag and drop buttons to move them by holding
Complex commands may have substitution rules for arguments. The symbols %1, %2, %3, etc. are substituted for the first, second, third, etc. arguments given as a list enclosed in braces. See the example with "ls" in the program. Overall, EasyRunner is a great tool that allows you to customize your user interface with ease.
