What's Changed

Renamed to TD Launcher Plus

• Rebranded from "TD Launcher" to TD Launcher Plus across the entire project, including build scripts, specs, installer, and UI.

Major New Features

• Recent Files & Templates — Full project dashboard with a Recent Files tab and a Templates tab with persistent memory.
• Default (new project) Template — Permanent entry at the top of the Templates tab that launches TouchDesigner without arguments, using its default startup file. Always pre-selects the latest installed TD version.
• Project Icon Previews — Displays icon.png/icon.jpg thumbnails next to project entries. Toggle with "Show Icons" checkbox.
• README Viewer & Editor — View and edit project README.md files directly in the launcher side panel, with markdown rendering and word-wrap toggle.
• TD Launcher Plus Utility (.tox) — Companion TouchDesigner component that syncs recent file history and generates project icons from within TD. Available from the GitHub releases page.
• Quick Launch Shortcuts — Press Ctrl/Cmd + 1–9 to instantly launch a template with the latest installed TD version. Ctrl/Cmd + D launches TouchDesigner with the default startup file.
• Template Reordering — Reorder templates with ^/v buttons or Ctrl/Cmd + Up/Down keyboard shortcuts. Newly added templates appear at the top.
• First-Run Setup Guide — One-time welcome modal on first launch with platform-specific instructions for setting TD Launcher Plus as the default .toe file handler, and info about the companion utility TOX.
• Info Modal — App info/about dialog with credits.
• Clear History — Option to clear recent file history.

UX Improvements

• Full keyboard navigation with tab memory and debounced file analysis for smooth browsing.
• Templates always pre-select the latest installed TouchDesigner version in the version picker.
• Improved highlight/coloring for launch state and version selection.
• Files browsed via the file picker appear in the UI immediately (session-only) and are only persisted to recents when actually launched.
• Window sizing fixes for both macOS and Windows.
• Theme and focus fixes for the editor and file lists.

Build & Distribution

• macOS ad-hoc codesigning with updated security instructions in README.
• GitHub Actions CI workflow for automated builds.
• New app icons (.icns for macOS, .ico for Windows).
• Windows Inno Setup installer registers ProgID so the app appears in "Open With" for .toe files.
• macOS build scripts updated for Apple Silicon/Intel support.
• Windows CI build script added.

Code Architecture

• Major refactor: split into config.py, td_manager.py, and utils.py.
• Cross-platform config directory (~/.config/td-launcher on macOS/Linux, %APPDATA%/TD Launcher Plus on Windows).
• Versioned .toe file deduplication (e.g. project.7.toe shown as project.toe).

v1.1.0

• Added Mac support (*.dmg installer)
• Added keyboard navigation
• Updated README
• Added logging option for troubleshooting

NOTE: Mac version needs at least one TouchDesigner installation present on the system, since it does not use a packaged toeexpand like the Windows version does.
