External Applications

The External Applications list allows you to store commands in a project for easily running external applications. An external application can be run on demand at any time, or can be set to start automatically when you open the project. You can also set to automatically relaunch an application when it stops (or crashes).

In the external app editor, the Name text box specifies a friendly name that will be dispayed in the list, but has nothing to do with the app.

The Command text box contains the command and arguments that will be run when the app is launched. You can edit this text manually. Its drop down menu contains useful preset applications and other options.

In the external app command, the string $PROJ_DIR$ will be replaced by the current project directory. This can be used to make a project more self-contained (and insensitive to being moved around) by storing files used by external applications in the Konfyt project directory and using the above string in arguments for the commands.

In the Filesystem tab on the left-hand side of the Konfyt window, you can right-click on any file or directory and use one of the Add Path to External App Command entries to easily add paths to the external app command.
