Vega Launcher

What it does

Vega Launcher is a lightweight tool that keeps your websites, applications, and files organized and ready to launch directly from the system tray.

Why?

When giving online presentations, speed and order matter. Vega Launcher helps you keep everything at your fingertips, so you can open the right apps and files without distractions.

How to get started

Run the Python files directly

You can install dependancies by pip install PyQt5 and then run python3 main.py (you'll need also translations.py in the same dir).

Use the compiled version

You can use the compiled versions available in the /dist folder. In future I would provide full installation packages.

How to customize the links

By pressing Edit in the app menu, you wull access the links.json. Each elemant can be one in four type:

1. a submenu (containing more elements),

   ...{
   "name": "Main Menu",
   "submenu": [
     {
       ... other elements ...
     },,...
   

2. a URL (that will be opened in the browser),

   ...{
   "name": "Ecosia",
   "url": "https://www.ecosia.org/"
   },...
   

3. a cmd (that will open the choosen app)

   ...{
   "name": "GIMP",
   "cmd": "gimp"
   },...
   

4. a path (that will open a local file in the choosen app)

   ...{
   "name": "Generic important document 😊",
   "path": "/home/mypc/Documents/file.odt"
   },...
