[OT] An XFCE launcher that will hide behind Livecode standalones

[Tore Nilsen]

You could also have LiveCode check the folder automatically, in timed intervals, put the files of the folder into a variable, filter out unwanted files and put the variable into the field. Then all you would have to take care of was to add the apps to the folder.

Then all you would have to do is to add or change information in the document. You could hav the launcher read from the document automatically in time, or at start up.
