V2.1.1 - UE_QuickLaunch

UE_QuickLaunch

UE_QuickLaunch is a right-click Unreal Engine project creator/launcher for Windows File Explorer. Right-click on or in a folder, and quickly create and launch unreal projects (uproject) with the same name as the folder. If the project file already exists, it's just opened normally.

Installation and Usage:

Download and run UE_QuickLaunch_installer.msi. The installerr will ask for permissions do to some registry settings it needs to modify. After the installer has run, right-clicking on a folder or an empty area within File Explorer will show the QuickLaunch Unreal Engine here menu item. If you have multiple versions of Unreal Engine installed, a dialog will pop up asking what version of Unreal to use when creating the new project.

Documentation and source code is available here.

Added in v2.1:

• User can now select target directory during install.
• Added license text (MIT license) to installer.
• Now supports project templates.
• By default, the installer now installs into a UE_QuickLaunch folder instead of SKVFX UE_QuickLaunch.
• Improved error checking and correction of unsupported characters in uproject filenames.

V2.0.1 - UE_QuickLaunch

UE_QuickLaunch

UE_QuickLaunch is a right-click Unreal Engine project creator/launcher for Windows File Explorer. Right-click on or in a folder, and quickly create a minimal unreal project (uproject) with the same name as the folder. If the project file already exists, just open it.

Using this is very simple: just download and run UE_QuickLaunch_installer.msi. It will ask for permission to install and then run unassisted. After the installer has run, right clicking on a folder or an empty area within File Explorer will show the QuickLaunch Unreal Engine here menu item. If you have multiple versions of Unreal Engine installed, a dialog will pop up asking what version of Unreal to use when creating the new project.

Documentation and source code is available here.
