【Features】
■Easy drag‑and‑drop script registration Scripts are centrally managed by the launcher. No migration needed when switching Illustrator versions or moving to a new PC. ■Run scripts with keyboard shortcuts Supports modifier key + main key, or main key alone (without interfering with text input). ■Keep the launcher completely hidden You can run shortcuts even while the launcher is fully hidden, so it never takes up workspace. ■Pass arguments to scripts Add simple tags in comments to generate input UI automatically. ■Optional helper utilities for Illustrator Convenient assistive functions you can turn on or off at any time. ■Add notes and related URLs to each script Store memos describing script behavior. Attach a related URL and open it directly from the launcher. ■Automatic update checks
【How to Use】
When the app starts, the launcher panel appears in front of Illustrator. If Illustrator is not running, the app waits in the notification area. * On first launch, Windows SmartScreen may display a message saying "Windows protected your PC." If this appears, click “More info” → “Run anyway” to proceed. This is normal behavior, and the application is safe to use. * If the app does not start and shows a message saying ".NET is required," you need the .NET Desktop Runtime (version 8 or later). Please refer to the "System Requirements" section below. ■Registering Scripts: Drag and drop JSX files into the launcher ・Scripts are copied into the app’s save folder. ・If you update the original script, dropping it again will overwrite the copy. ・You can open the save folder in Explorer from the main menu. ■Running Scripts: Double-click a script name or use its shortcut key. ■Script Menu: Right-click a script name to assign shortcuts, set categories, edit notes, and more. ■Hiding the Launcher: Use the title-bar buttons to toggle visibility ・The [-] button toggles window-shade mode (title bar only). ・The [X] button hides the launcher to the notification area (the app does not quit). * To show the launcher again, use the notification-area icon. ■Main Menu: Click the [≡] button at the top right to access options, exit the app, and more. ■Notification-Area Icon (may be hidden): Double-click to show the hidden launcher. Right-click to open the menu, including the option to exit the app.
