Workdir

Dealing with multiple directories and commands for launching certain apps can sometimes make users lose valuable time, especially when running iterative tasks, in a professional environment or for work purposes. There are numerous app-launchers available, but few of them also tackle commands, but more importantly, directories. This is what Workdir was designed for, and it will offer users a tool that can help them define particular launch schemes for their apps or directories.

The application is deployed via a GUI that contains several elements, which can help one define the preferred execution for either launching directories, or, if required, executables altogether. The main interaction is done through a configuration file, which can be edited in order to add or remove functionality, and the app will then display the corresponding launchers.

For instance, one can define launchers for commands, particular applications or, folders. All need to be inputted in the corresponding configuration file, which contains details such as the launcher name (designated by users), parameters, as well as paths for the selected objects.

Last but not least, users must be aware that in order for their changes to take effect and be reflected in the app’s functionality, they need to use the “Refresh” feature.
