PathOpener ver.1.1 - User Guide
===============================

A tray-resident tool that opens any file path or URL you have
copied to the clipboard with a single click.


[System Requirements]

  Windows 11


[Getting Started]

  Double-click PathOpener.exe.
  When the icon appears in the system tray, the app is running.


[How to Use]

  1. Copy a path or URL to the clipboard.
  2. Left-click the PathOpener icon in the system tray or press registered hot key.

  · Folder / file path  → Opens in Explorer or the associated app
  · http:// / https://  → Opens in the default browser


[Hotkey]

  You can use a hotkey to run the same action as left-clicking
  the tray icon.

  1. Right-click the tray icon → select "Register Hotkey".
  2. Press a modifier key such as Ctrl / Shift / Alt together
     with another key.
  3. Confirm the displayed key combination and select "OK".

  After that, copy a path or URL to the clipboard and press the
  registered hotkey to open it.

  To clear the hotkey, open "Register Hotkey" and select "Cancel".

[Uninstall]

  1. Quit PathOpener.
  2. Delete PathOpener.exe, or delete the extracted folder.
  3. Delete the settings file:

     %AppData%\PathOpener\config.json

  PathOpener does not register itself in the registry, install a
  service, or add a startup entry. If you manually added a startup
  shortcut, delete that shortcut as well.
