Manage Launchers

The Manage Launchers window is used to create, edit, rename, delete, and otherwise manage launchers. To access this window, use Settings→Manage Launchers.

Example Manage Launchers window.

The window has the following elements:

Name

The name of each launcher. There are some limitations on names, for example, names must start with an alphanumeric character. Invalid names will be flagged when creating a new launcher. A launcher named "Default" must exist at all times.

Launchers loaded from the systemd directory prefix/share/qtermy/launchers are denoted by "share" in parentheses. These cannot be renamed or deleted from within qtermy. However they can be overridden by creating a launcher with the same name.

Extensions

Each launcher's configured FileExtensions, if any.

Default

The launcher to use as the default launcher. Normally this is the launcher named "Default" but this is not required.

Favorite

Launchers marked as favorite will be displayed at the top of Open With menus. The configured FileExtensions and URISchemes are used to prioritize launchers by matching against the target URL.

Type
