Pylaunchy does not show up in plugins list #3

Open git-commit opened 9 years ago

git-commit commented 9 years ago

I'm running Launcy 2.5 on Windows 8.1 64-Bit.

Though it seems the installation was successful (boost_python-vc80-mt-1_41.dll in launchy folder; PyLaunchy.dll in plugins folder; folder for pylaunchy with example scripts is there) it does not show up in Launchy's plugins list.

I skipped downloading Python2.7 since it's already installed on my system. Maybe there is an issue with my Python setup? How do I troubleshoot this issue?

Try this: https://github.com/j5shi/Thruster

You don't need to install standalone PyLaunchy, it's already there, and you will get extra benefits of very useful features like "Open in ..."

Comment by kshahar: Note that installing this plugin will not solve any problem, since it contains PyLaunchy and is installed in a similar manner.

I've just installed PyLaunchy 0.9.0 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine and it seems to work with Python 2.7.

Make sure that your Python installation is 32-bit. Simply start python.exe and check for something like -

"Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32"

Also, were any log files created? PyLaunchy outputs log messages to Launchy_DIR\PyLaunchy.log. Python output is availible in the Launchy_DIR\plugins\python directory (stdout.txt and stderr.txt). (replace Launchy_DIR with the Launchy installation directory, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Launchy).
