Ah, sorry if the documentation wasn't very clear! I don't have a lot of experience writing documentation, so feel free to help me reword things to make it clearer for future users!
The plugin doesn't use %appdata%/Launchy/launchy.ini
, I only mention that for users who want to get their old settings to copy over. You have to put those configurations in the launchy.ini
which is in your keypirinha directory. That's probably why it wasn't working for you, that's the only place it checks.
EDIT: To confirm that the configuration was read, in the console, look for a line which looks like so:
20:46:44.104 Launchy.Launchy: Successfully updated the configuration, found 3 entries
Writing doc's is hard. It's probably me not taking the time to read them properly as well.
Anyway, I moved the launchy.ini
file to \Keypirinha\portable\Profile\User
and the plugin is now working fine. Being able to add directories to the keypirinha catalogue is a good addition. :)

Reading the docs now...
Installation
To install this plugin, simply copy Launchy.keypirinha-package from the build folder to InstalledPackages:
- Portable version: Keypirinha\portable\Profile\InstalledPackages
- Installed version: %APPDATA%\Keypirinha\Profile\InstalledPackages
You may need to restart Keypirinha afterwards to load the plugin.
These install instructions don't mention the lanchy.ini
file. Will the lanchy.ini
file be automatically created when Keypirinha is restarted or does the lanchy.ini
file need to be copied into keypirinha settings directory manually?
You shouldn't have to create it by hand actually, just like with all the other built in plugins. You simply either use the tray menu to access it (right click tray icon > configure package > launchy), or type "Configure Launchy" in Keypirinha itself, and it should automatically create a launchy.ini
file for you in the right location. Can you actually check if that works properly?

Ok, this is my first time using a KP plugin.
Typing "Configure Launchy" does indeed bring up the launchy.ini
file. It is also in the context menu. I did check the context menu earlier for a configuration link but couldn't see it there then. Maybe I missed it at the time.
Hmm, I don't know if KP autoloads installed plugins, so you may have had to restart for it to register it?
It's working now anyway. :)
Thanks for the Launchy plugin! I'm trying to set it up now and have run into problems. Not sure where to go now. I've dumped a bunch of details below. Don't stress about following this up if your busy. :)

. I expected the plugin to complain about a missinglaunchy.ini
file.Could the launchy plugin being reading a different
launchy.ini
file? Is there a way to confirm the plugin is reading the intended config?Side note: I don't have Launchy installed anymore and had to create a
launchy.ini
file for this plugin. It felt a bit strange creating%appdata%/Launchy/launchy.ini
to configure keypirinha. Totally understand why the plugin is checking that location. Would it also be possible to have the plugin check for launchy.ini in the keypirinha settings directory as a fallback?
