Exelib - Library for Executable Files

На русском

About the Project

The ExeLib project is a graphical application created using the tkinter library in Python. This application allows users to organize a collection of links to executable files (exe files) on their computer. Users can add links to files by specifying the filename and file path. They can also rename links and directly launch the selected exe file from the application. The collection of links is saved in a JSON file (paths.json) for future use. It is a useful tool for organizing and quickly accessing various exe files on user's computers.

Installation

There are two ways to install and run the ExeLib application:

1. Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/Damir-Sayfullin/ExeLib.git and run Tkinter.py.
2. Download the installer ExeLib-setup.exe or the application ExeLib.exe from the release assets. Current version: v1.0.0

Usage

• Add an executable file to the library by clicking the Добавить button. Select the file in the file dialog and enter the file name.
• To remove an executable file from the library, select it from the list and click the Удалить button.
• To rename an executable file in the library, select it from the list and click the Переименовать button. Enter a new file name and select a new file if you want to change it.
• To launch the selected executable file, select it from the list and click the Запустить button.
• To save the changes and the list of executable files, click the Сохранить button. They will be saved to the paths.json file, which is created in the same folder as Tkinter.py or the ExeLib application.
