Update:
4/9/25 - v2.0.0
- Added the ability to set apps to launch when Elite Dangerous is launched.
- Right click an app and click "Launch with Elite Dangerous". A symbol will appear on the app icon.
- Added a splash window that pops up first - allowing the rest of the app ample time to pre-load the data (if any).
- Minor Bug Fixes
Note: You may need to re-add your apps and websites, as this uses a new data.edl file and you will lose previously added apps/sites
