launchy.xml generator
Launchy is able to use a XML file to add custom applications. So you can add your own applications to Launchy's context menu. At startup Launchy will look for a file called launchy.xml in the chrome directory in your profile.
This is very useful on MacOS or Linux systems where Launchy can't autodetect applications.
To help users create the launchy.xml file I've created a small and simple page. Check it out.
The launchy.xml file must live in the chrome directory in your profile. The exact location of where to put the launchy.xml file can be found in the Launchy options in the launchy.xml tab.

Nice tool - but an option to add an entry to the generated launchy.xml-content would make it somewhat more usefull. As it is now, I have to copy/paste part of the textarea for every extra entry I wan't to add.

As a lot of people using Linux is using rpm|deb|package-distributions and/or with environment like KDE or Gnome, and they have generally a xml-based correspondance between type-mime and tools, I think a generous dev may have the idea to make a script. Mhh ?
Idem for Mac with, let's say a AppleScript ?

Henrik, thanks a lot for Launchy, it looks great, indeed! Anyway, I've got PSPad on my comp (XP) and Launchy didn't recognize it. In the Launchy option UI, I can't enable PSPad nor provide .exe location for it. Are those featrue coming?
Thanks again,
tom

Dual 1.4GHz G4
OSX 10.3.8
1 Gb RAM
Mozilla 1.7.5
launchy 3.9.0
This one woulld be worth a donation if I can figure out how to make it work!
