Accessories - therenegar/launch GitHub Wiki

Accessories  web-lines  Launch!

Launch! comes with handy accessories that can be useful in a basic DOS environment especially with limited or no connectivity.

If selected during the Install program, there will be an Accessories menu created for you in Launch! providing quick access.

All programs depend on Launch! (!.EXE) - for shared UI toolkit, and will take on Launch! configuration settings such as color scheme and mouse cursor - so the .EXEs can't be distributed without !.EXE.
They've all been designed with a tiny memory footprint, and maximum compatibility in mind.

Usable with either keyboard or mouse interaction.

Printing

Most feature a Print function. I have designed printing with dot matrix printers in mind for the experience. But different print output options are available.
Read more about print options.

  • Calculator: prints calculation history + also a special line printing mode
  • Calendar: prints calendar view and agenda below
  • Journal: prints current day's entry + also a special typewriter printing mode
  • Markdown: prints current document
  • Note: prints current document
  • Stack: prints current card - top most card
  • To-Dos: prints current view of task list (as sorted/filtered)

Data Storage

Any data files for each program are stored in the data sub-directory of Launch!. "Export" will store the output in the export directory. A "Save" function will allow specification of the filename and path.

  • Card Stack: all cards are persisted and that is stored in data. Using the export function produces a concatenated .TXT file containing every card stored in export.
  • Journal: all daily entries are persisted and that is stored in data. Using the export function produces a concatenated .TXT file containing every day entry stored in export.
  • Markdown: there is no persistence, files are opened from the file-system and saved at your discretion.
  • Note: all tabs and pages are persisted and that is stored in data. Using the export function produces a concatenated .TXT file containing all notes stored in export. Externally opened files (in the External tab) can be saved following any changes. The Export/Save button will change according to which action will be performed.
  • Pixel Draw: the drawing is persisted and that is stored in data. Using the Save function allows the drawing to be saved to a specified file. Opened files are not persisted, and when Draw is re-opened (with no file) the persisted drawing will return.
  • Stack: all cards are persisted and that is stored in data. Using the export function produces a concatenated .TXT file containing all cards stored in export.
