Initially built as a console-based application, it evolves into a feature-rich graphical program using wxWidgets, supporting custom file extensions for batch execution.\n\n---\n\n## **Features**\n\n### **MVP Features**\n- **Add Files**: Enter file paths manually or through a command-line prompt to add them to a list.\n- **View Files**: Display the current list of files.\n- **Remove Files**: Remove specific files from the list by specifying their index.\n- **Open Files**: Execute all files in the list using the system's execution command (e.g., `std::system`).\n\n### **Planned Enhancements**\n1. **File Explorer for Adding Files**:\n   - Browse the file system using a file picker to add files easily.\n\n2. **Custom File Extension**:\n   - Use a `.mexe` file to store and execute a batch of programs.\n   - Automatically open programs listed in the `.mexe` file, then exit the opener program.\n\n3. **File List Creation and Editing**:\n   - Save file lists as `.mexe` files.\n   - Open and edit existing `.mexe` files (e.g., add, remove, or reorder items).\n\n4. **Graphical User Interface (GUI)**:\n   - Transition from a console-based program to a wxWidgets-based GUI.\n   - Features include buttons, file lists, and a menu for actions like saving/loading lists and styling.\n\n5. **Styling and Theming**:\n   - Apply custom themes, icons, and styles for a polished user experience.\n\n## **Usage**\n\n### **Using `.mexe` Files** (Planned)\n1. Create a `.mexe` file with the desired list of executable paths.\n   - Example content:\n     ```\n     C:\\path\\to\\app1.exe\n     C:\\path\\to\\app2.exe\n     ```\n2. Open it with the program to automatically execute the listed files.\n\n---\n\n## **Development Roadmap**\n\n### **Phase 1: Console-Based MVP**\n- Core functionality: Add, view, remove, and open files.\n- Test for cross-platform compatibility.\n\n### **Phase 2: File Explorer \u0026 File Format Enhancements**\n- Add native file picker for adding files.\n- Introduce `.mexe` file format for batch execution.\n\n### **Phase 3: GUI Transition**\n- Build a basic wxWidgets-based GUI.\n- Implement buttons and menus for all actions.\n\n### **Phase 4: Polish and Distribution**\n- Add theming and icons for the GUI.\n- Create detailed documentation.\n- Package the application for distribution.\n\n---\n\n## **Contributing**\nContributions are welcome! Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests on GitHub.\n\n### **To Contribute**:\n1. Fork the repository.\n2. Create a feature branch:\n   ```bash\n   git checkout -b feature-name\n   ```\n3. Commit your changes:\n   ```bash\n   git commit -m \"Add new feature\"\n   ```\n4. Push to your branch and open a pull request:\n   ```bash\n   git push origin feature-name\n   ```\n\n---\n\n## **License**\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License.
