Launcher

The Ren'Py launcher is mostly documented in other portions of the manual. This page contains information about the launcher that doesn't fit anywhere else.

Project Folders

The launcher supports folders. You can create a folder by creating a directory under the projects directory, and moving the project into it, then clicking Refresh. Only one level of folders is supported, so you can't create a folder inside a folder.

Folders can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the name in the launcher.

Warning

Currently, the Ren'Py launcher only supports one project with a given name. So it's not possible to have the same project name in different folders.

Projects.txt

If a file named projects.txt exists in the projects directory, it's expected to contain a list of full paths, one per line. These paths are treated as if they were inside the projects directory, and projects they contain show up in the launcher.
