# PoE Launcher
* Version: 1.0.3a
* [Download](https://github.com/jameslmoss/PoE-Launcher/releases/latest "Download") the latest version
PoE Launcher was born because I got tired of manually setting the process priority of Path of Exile to Above Normal. So I descided to automate that task with a [autohotkey](https://www.autohotkey.com) script.
PoE Launcher can automate launching, closing and tweaking the client window.
It also can load links to files from a QuickLinks folder into a menu for easy access to often used tools.
## Menu Functionality
- Launch a target Program: Launch PoE
- Click for a popup that will ask to close the launched program windows
- Click to Tweak the Window Resolution (Hotkey: F10)
- QuickLink menu for related shortcut/tools
- You can add *.exe, *.lnk, *.ahk, *url, files into the Quicklinks folder
- If the Quicklinks folder is empty or doesn't exist it won't be included in the menu's.
- Set Process Level: AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal
## Settings Menu Options:
- AutoLoad the target program on Startup (checked=on, unchecked=off)
- AutoClose the target program on Exit (checked=on, unchecked=off)
- AutoSet the target program process level on Startup (checked=on, unchecked=off)
- AutoTweak the target program window on Startup (checked=on, unchecked=off)
## Hidden features and Hotkeys:
- The left win key is diabled while the launched process is the active window
- F10 will trigger the TweakWindow function
## Other settings exist and are detailed briefly in config.ini, edit carefully
- launcherTitle=PoE
- the text shown of what is being launched "**Launch PoE**" for example.
- processMax=1
- is the number of client processes allowed, default is 1 but this can be any value.
- Path of Exile allows 2 max client processes
- loadDelay=3500
- is the delay after runing the client before attempting to do other actions such as "TweakWindow"
- if TweakWindow on start is not working properly adjust this value (usually increase it).
- Both tweakWindowWidth=1920 and tweakWindowHeight=1030 can be edited/saved and the new values be used in the TweakWindow() functionality.
By default everything is turned off if you run the app and click on a menu item, it will trigger the action and save any potential settings. If a menu item is checked/bold that means it is on/active other wise it is off/disabled.
The code is mostly not tied to just 'path of exile' so if you'd like to try it for other games that should work fine.
I would just use other icons and a unique program name/title.
To try it copy the folder/files replace the icons as needed, and edit config.ini.
You'll need to edit the paths and will require a program like [**winspy**](http://www.catch22.net/software/winspy) to help you find the **windowTitle** and **windowClass** values.
