The JSup Application menu (Bozza)

This window is shown when you start [JSup] without any [JSup Command line options|Command line option] (by clicking the default link in the Windows Start menu)


It is useful to keep track of your [JSup application|JSup applications] and to edit/run them.
It is designed to be used by a [JSup] developer, see [JSup Production installation and configuration].

Default action

By selecting an application in the list and pressing the Enter key, a default action is chosen:

  • A [JSup application#Compressed file|compressed application file] will be open in run mode.
  • An [JSup application#Directory|application in a directory] will be open in edit mode.

About the default application

[JSup] will store an application from the list as the default selected when the Application menu is opened.

To change the default application you have to selected the application you want to make the default and press Ctrl+Enter keys. Then, the next time you start the [JSup] Application menu, that application will be the default selected.

Run application

Select the application you want to run in the application list, than press the Run application button.
The application is started in run mode (no [JSup Switch application to runtime and edit mode|switch to edit mode] will be possible), the application [JSup Application home windows|Home window(s)] is displayed.

To close JSup (after the run mode has stared) you can use the Alt+F4 Windows standard shortcut.

Edit application

Select the application you want to edit in the application list, than press the Edit application button.

If the application is in [JSup application#Compressed file|compressed file format] you have to specify an empty directory where JSup will extract the archived application to edit it (so the archived file will not be edit, only the copy extracted in the directory will).

  • [JSup Create link to application|Create link to application]

    • Press Ok.
  • Compile the [JSup Application properties|Application properties] dialog and press Ok to save the new application.

Add existing

You can add an [JSup application|application] that already exists (both in [JSup application#Compressed file|compressed] or [JSup application#Directory|directory] formats) to this Application menu list.

The application will be added to the list or an error message will be displayed.
