i see the following todo

  • allow to configure relativ path
  • allow to add a config to folder. When local config exists use this instead the current one (current one is in the right place for e.g. windows app, there no rights to store at e.g. bin folder)

This is a pretty remarkable little tool. I'm a software dev and SRE and Ive been trying for so long to find a newer, minimal launcher that's customizable. Quick question, is there any way to sync configuration between machines or export config? Nice work

I think we will put it into optionsmenu, there you can then change the path of config

at current version it is here
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\SystemTrayMenu

To find the user-.config:
Contextmenu click "Log File". Log File will open in Notepad. In Notepad then click File -> "Save As ...". Copy the path from the FileBrowserDialog and paste in windows explorer

something to read from stackoverflow
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/982354/where-are-the-properties-settings-default-stored

make sure when changing here that we are allowed to save e.g. see here
