LÖVE

Hey everyone!

I just discovered some ways to run a folder with LÖVE and create .lua files on Windows, so I thought I'd share them here!

Here are the .reg files:

Be sure to edit the location of LÖVE if your love.exe is elsewhere. Also, I think works when right-clicking within a folder as well in Vista and later.

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\love]
@="&LÖVE"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\love\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\LOVE\\love.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\love]
@="&LÖVE"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\love\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\LOVE\\love.exe\" \"%V\""

Hey, these reg hacks look useful! How can I customize the default name and content of the .lua file?

I'm not sure!

I think the name comes from the file association, I've installed Lua for Windows so that's why I have that name and icon in the screenshot. You could change the file association with something like FileTypesMan (I'd assume there'd be some way to do it with Windows too). And I have no idea to create some default content in the file sorry. Good luck!
