#195 index %PATH%

[Ludovic]

Hi,

Would it be possible to index %PATH% as well, looking for .exe's?

Right now, I'm just indexing program files instead, but that still leaves out stuff like c:\python, c:\perl, etc. AFAIK this shouldn't be too hard, but would be a great plus. After all, %PATH% is a repository of files to index just as much as the start menu (actually, for command line people like me, even more so).

Either way, thanks for making Launchy - it's really useful.

I'll add to this.

I'd like to be able to specify _any_ environment variable in the catalog, whether %PATH% (or $PATH, however you say it for your OS), %INCLUDE%, etc. In this way, if I change %PATH%, launchy will automatically catch it on the next index cycle.

I would actually consider indexing %PATH% and Favorites as default behavior, just like Start is already indexed.

And I'll agree with Ludo on Launchy being really useful... It's already proved itself just in making my Favorites far easier to use.

It would be really really useful to have %PATH% indexed by launchy.

For the Windows version of Launchy, a plugin that indexes executables in your %PATH% is already available. See
