## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Old-school Straight Pip
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pip install psgshortcut
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### pip via `python -m pip` the python recommended way
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### If `python` is your command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
python -m pip install psgshortcut
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### If `python3` is your command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
python3 -m pip install psgshortcut
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open a command window and type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
psgshortcut
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create a Shortcut To This Program
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use this program to make a shortcut to itself so that you can then put on your desktop or pin to your taskbar or ???
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To do this, follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Open a command window (I promise, it's the last time you'll need to for this program)
|
||
|
|
2. Type - `where psgshortcut`
|
||
|
|
3. Copy the line that `where psgshortcut` gave you into the first input of the shortcut maker program
|
||
|
|
4. Run psgshortcut by typing `psgshortcut` in your command window
|
||
|
|
5. Right click and choose "File Location"
|
||
|
|
6. Copy the file location results, but change the extension from .py to .ico and paste into the Icon file input of the shortcut maker
|
||
|
|
7. Click "Create Shortcut"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will create a shortcut in the same folder as the target file. You can safely move this shortcut file to any place you want (like to your desktop). Double-click the shortcut and your program should launch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Make Shortcuts To Anything
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can not only make shortcuts to Python programs, but you can make shortcuts to EXE and other files. The GUI is self-explanatory. Fill in the inputs, click the Make Shortcut button and you'll find the shortcut in the same folder as the target program.
