Editing the list of launchers
  
 previous up  

  There are 5 different operations available when editing the list of launchers in the launcher step:
  • Reordering launcher definitions
    Launcher definitions are reordered by dragging them with the mouse to the desired location. While dragging, the insertion bar shows you where the launcher definition would be dropped. The order of launchers is not relevant for install4j, reordering is provided only for the purpose of letting you arrange the launcher definitions according to your personal preferences.
  • Copying launcher definitions
    Launcher definitions are copied by
    • copy-dragging a launcher definition with the mouse to the desired location (e.g. on Windows, press CTRL while dragging, the mouse cursor will add a small plus sign to its shape). While copy-dragging, the insertion bar shows you where the copy of the launcher definition would be created.
    • Choosing Copy launcher from the context sensitive menu. The copy will be placed at the end of the list.
    • Choosing Launcher->Copy launcher from install4j's main menu. The copy will be placed at the end of the list.
    • Clicking on the corresponding  tool bar button while the launcher definition is selected. The copy will be placed at the end of the list.
