You don't have to make a .love to run the game, You can just drag and drop the folder containing the games files to love.exe.

But, if you do that every time when you make a change in your game it's quite boring.... With LÖVE Game Loader you do that with a simpler method

You know how there's this button on your keyboard labeled as "Email" that you never use? Bound it to launch my game.

I'm just saying, while your app there is quite nice and handy and I'd sort of use it. But there are a million ways you can speed it up. Whether you set your IDE (unless you're using notepad.exe) to launch it or via .bat's, you can also go a step further like I did and set one of those multimedia keys on your keyboard as a quick way to launch.
People who will spend your time every time (Creating shortcuts) is their problem if you do not want to use, fine. Just do not keep bugging me if you know how to create a .bat file. I made this for personal use, and my friends want to use that too, so i decided to post here for other people use too. And stop posting big screenshots...

He's not bugging, he's just discussing. This is thread on a message board. His post is fine and informative.

Personally I just drag the game folder onto a love.exe shorcut on my desktop.

I second what Daniel said earlier. This is informative. There is no need to argue more.
@game148, I just think most of people are trying to point out that there are so many ways of doing this that your program looks superfluous.
For instance, I am a fan of Notepad++, some people love Sublime...You can take advantage of the built-in macros feature in Npp++ (or build system feature for Sublime) to load your current code by pressing a key, and this does not require to be a genius to set up.
But yes, for people who do not know such tricks (bat files, and whatever) it can be useful. So, thanks for that. :)
